Overview
BonJour builds this press from clear Tritan plastic so it can travel without the risk a glass carafe carries. Grounds steep in hot water, the plunger pushes a filter down to trap them, and a shut-off infuser in the plunger seals the grounds off so the coffee stops getting stronger in the pot.
Breaking a glass press on a camping trip is the problem this one solves, and the shut-off infuser adds something a plain press lacks: once you plunge, the brew stops. The size is the limit, a few mugs at most, and the cup figure on the label counts small espresso-style servings.
Who it's for
Road trips, campsites and a desk at work, where a press gets knocked about, are where it earns its place. Someone who wants a glass or steel press for the kitchen counter, or who serves a crowd, should look at a larger model.
Pros and cons
- Unbreakable Tritan plastic body
- Shut-off infuser halts over-brewing
- Filtering lid reduces sediment
- Light for travel
- Small capacity for a group
- Cups are espresso sized
- Insulation not listed
Performance notes
Extraction depends on grind and steep time, and the shut-off infuser changes the second half of that: pressing down seals the grounds away so a pot left on the table does not keep extracting. The filtering lid catches fines on the pour. Heat retention is not stated, so pour soon after plunging.
