Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I could buy a reasonably-priced French press for coffee in silom or close by? I'll only be here 24 hours and then off somewhere that doesn't have them.

It may be a little pricey - but you can try one of the many Starbucks and also there is a Verasu on Silom - it is in the newly renovated white building - I don't know the building name but there is a True coffeshop and Citibank in the same building - If you walk away from Lumphini Park on Silom and pass the McDonald's - it is located in the second building on the left. Silom Center is still closed until October -

Verasu on wireless around the corner has it but I imagine they wont be a cheap as those found at your local S-Bucks?

Tops Market 306 Silom Road also carries them, probably cheaper than the coffee shops.

I got mine at a Tesco/Lotus in the coffee section.

I got my French Press at ROBINSON Ratchada. (no name)

Starbucks Coffee shops have original bodum products, which are much better.

Foodland Suk Soi 5 had them last time I needed one (been a while, they don't wear much)

The Bodium brand at Starbucks are the best available...Try Silom Center as well...Bodium are sold in all the department stores like Robinsons and Central

Try Robinsons near BTS Sapha Thaksin. Verasu is in basement of United Centre Building on Silom Road near junction with Soi Pipat.

Does anyone know where to get one of these without paying the bloated Starbucks price - Baht1950?

the first cost 1350 at doi chaang shopping online ( maybe even at their showroom)

the second cost 800 baht at Bluekoff

Both shops are in Bangkok.

I bought what was labelled 'teapot' in Buriram Makro discretely hidden away on a bottom shelf. About ฿500.- and makes excellent coffee a half liter at a time.

Forget Starbucks everything is over priced in Starbucks.

I found a good one in Robinson, less that half the price of Starbucks.

Starbucks and black canyon 1500-1800 baht. Topps, about 250 baht. your call.
