Cafe Du Chateau vs Goodful Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
The Cafe Du Chateau, as the name suggests, is a take on a French press coffee maker design. Apart from the French press ‘look’ it doesn’t use a typically hand-pressed filter but is a rather incongruously-designed immersion filter. The brew quality lacks character, it is cumbersome to pour, and the stopper design is flawed.
The Goodful, on the other hand, is a better proposition. It’s a large-sized plastic jug brewer that brews in the door bin of your refrigerator. While the brew quality is satisfactory, the lid design is clunky. A similar, but better quality design to the Goodful is the Takeya. Regardless, the Cafe Du Chateau is not a coffee maker we’d recommend.
