Overview
A stainless steel plunger and mesh filter press the grounds to the bottom of a borosilicate glass carafe in the Bodum Brazil. The lightweight plastic frame, handle and lid hold the glass, and no paper filters are needed.
Full-flavored coffee with no paper or capsules is the point, from a press that is easy to clean. The small capacity makes it a single-serve brewer, and the plastic frame is lighter-duty than metal ones.
Who it's for
Single drinkers, students and travelers get a light press that makes one mug. Families who share a pot need a larger size.
Pros and cons
- Glass does not alter flavor
- Stainless filter, no paper
- Lightweight plastic frame
- Simple to use
- Small single-mug capacity
- Plastic frame instead of metal
Performance notes
Flavor depends on grind size and steep time, since the mesh filter lets oils through that paper would catch. A coarse grind stops fine particles slipping past the plunger into the cup.
