The Goodful and Bodum are two relatively large brewers. Both are plastic, and where the Goodful easily fits in the door of a refrigerator, the Bodum is better on a shelf. The real difference, however, is the brewing style and the quality of the brew.
The Bodum is a French press free-style brewer using a typical plunge filter. It produces a full-strength cold brew concentrate of around 25 fl. oz. depending on the brew ratio and volume you brew. It can be diluted up to three parts.
The Goodful uses a plastic and nylon immersion filter with a fixed brew ratio and produces a yield of around 67 fl. oz. Its much weaker brew strength is incomparable to a cold brew concentrate which is more versatile in its use. If you enjoy a variety of coffee drinks and other preparations, the Bodum is the better choice.
