Nothing Looks Better Than a Copper Cafetiere

The copper trend could have been made for copper cafetieres. The warm glow of copper looks irresistible alongside the deep black-brown shades of freshly pressed coffee.

You can pick up a copper cafetiere in a lot of places, but the Bodum Chambord 8 Cup French Press Coffee Maker is a tempting choice.

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz once commented that the Bodum French press made the “best cup of coffee known to mankind”. That’s quite the recommendation!

This beautiful copper French press is made with Bodum’s heat resistant glass and stainless steel filter. So you don’t have to compromise the integrity of your elevenses for aesthetics.

In a hurry? You can always take it with you in a sleek Bodum copper coffee mug…

Bright Copper Kettles

Before you can fire up that beautiful cafetiere, you’ll need hot water – and that part doesn’t have to be boring either. The right bright copper-coloured kettle lets you channel your inner Maria von Trapp in a totally contemporary way.

It’s not the only way designers are mixing up metallics… Returning to true copper-coloured kettles from the rose gold end of the spectrum, here’s another clever twist on the trend.

Copper Kitchen Accessories Can Be Anything but Basic

Copper kitchen style is an ideal choice if you want to unify your kitchen because it’s so easy to carry across a range of items.

The colour works well on small electricals like kettles and toasters, but practical metallic accessories can take on the same effect so well. Even the most basic of essentials can join in.

Copper Kitchen to Table

Copper cutlery is the simple, stylish change that will make a bigger impact than you think. Knives and forks are part of the mechanics of the day, so of course, most of us barely notice the details.

But let’s change that. Make your mealtimes a little bit more fabulous.
