Bodum Black C-Mill Coffee Grinder (BOD_5679-01)

'Good design doesn't have to be expensive' - Peter Bodum

BODUM, a family owned company, was founded in 1944 in Copenhagen, Denmark by Peter Bodum. Incorporating the principle that form follows functionality, Peter Bodum designed the vacuum coffee maker 'Santos'. Santos was internationally acclaimed for its unique design and in the 50's, 60's and 70's it became one of the most important coffee makers worldwide. Jorgen Bodum manifested the company's philosophy of design in 1974 with the launch of Bodum's first Cafe Press The Bistro. The French Coffee Press has been selected as the most environment friendly coffee maker by the international media and has been highly awarded by the most prestigious international and Danish design awards. Since 1974 Bodum has produced more than 100 million of French Coffee Presses and 30 million teapots. Four years later, the new CEO Jorgen Bodum, moved the company to Switzerland to strategically locate Bodum in central Europe. In 1992, Bodum expanded on their work of teapots and cafe presses and entered the field of electrical household products. The Ibis Kettle was the first in a long line of highly sophisticated appliances available today including juicers, coffee grinders and toasters. With an in-house team of designers, engineers, graphic designers, and architects, Bodum has been developing their own product design ever since - paying homage to their tradition of functionality and quality but with a focus on innovation. The BODUM Group is a 100% family-owned business. Today, it is owned by Pia Bodum and Jorgen Bodum, daughter and son of the founder Peter Bodum and their products are sold in 55 countries.
