i learnt what a "bodum" is. and then i was asking why it was called a bodum and no-one could tell me. so i turned to god (aka google..) which led me to wikipedia and was enlightened by this (which i just want to share with you haha)
The French press goes by various names around the world. In New Zealand, Australia and South Africa the whole apparatus is known as a coffee plunger and coffee brewed in it as plunger coffee. Its French name is cafetière à piston. In French it is also known by its brand names, notably a Bodum or a melior, from an old brand of this type. In the UK, the Netherlands, and Ireland the device is known as a cafetière, the French word for a coffee maker or pot.
