Melissa Male Loves ‘to Give Back to the Environment’ with Slow Coffee
For the first video in our series, you’re invited to content creator Melissa Male’s stylish New York apartment. Melissa is passionate about slow coffee, slow living and sustainability. Brewing coffee shortly after she gets up helps this keen writer and photographer to ensure that her day gets off to the best possible start.
Melissa favours the French press brewing method – you’ll spot the popular Bodum Chambord® coffee maker in the video. She simply pours hot water over freshly ground beans, lets the coffee brew for several minutes, and then lowers the plunger.
Enjoying ‘a clean, slow, quality cup of coffee at home’, in Melissa’s words, gives her the chance to pause and reflect before a busy day. What’s more, being able to avoid single-use filters and capsules gives Melissa peace of mind.
When it's time for her to head out, our eco-friendly travel mugs are ideal.

Having been immersed in coffee culture for over 15 years, Jai Lott describes himself as ‘a self-confessed coffee nerd’. Jai began his career as a barista and is now coffee director at Bluestone Lane, the Australian-inspired coffee shop and café brand taking the US by storm.
Brewing and drinking delicious slow coffee at home is one of Jai’s favourite morning rituals. In the second video in our series, he praises ‘the brilliance of the Bodum Pour Over’. It enables Jai to make his all-important morning coffee with ease and precision. Freshly ground beans, hot water, a filter and a carafe is all he needs for the perfect cup of joe.

This coffee connoisseur’s brewing habits are influenced by his commitment to an eco-friendly lifestyle. Our motto – make taste, not waste – strikes a chord with Mache. ‘Bodum’s ethos is really something that my company and myself get behind.’
