Overview
A 34 ounce French press with a heat resistant borosilicate glass carafe, a lightweight plastic frame around the glass, and a stainless steel plunger and filter.
The carafe is glass rather than steel, which several owners specifically sought out after an all plastic Bodum scratched and had to be returned. That distinction matters more with this model than the capacity number does, since 34 ounces works out to roughly four cups depending on how full it is filled.
- 34 ounce borosilicate glass carafe
- Plastic frame protects the glass and insulates the hand
- Stainless steel plunger and mesh filter
- Made in Portugal
Who it's for
For people who want coffee unaltered by metal or plastic and who are willing to handle glass carefully. Not the choice for anyone who wants a press that survives drops.
Pros and cons
- Plastic frame around the glass raises long term durability concerns for some owners
