Make coffee and tea from the comfort of your home with this elegant, useful, and simple French press. I’ve had one of these for years and love the simple, compact silhouette that makes it easy to tuck away and hide. It’s a breeze to clean and makes seriously tasty coffee. It’s made with durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass that is strong and safe to use with boiling water and a three-part stainless steel plunger with a mesh filter. If you’re into a fresh brew, this is for you.
Promising review: “I had never used a French press until recently traveling in the Netherlands where they had one in our apartment. I always heard people rave about the coffee and the easy process. I loved it! Instead of saving a cup from the morning and microwaving it (I know, I know, that’s a sin!), I decided to get this smallest version of the Bodum French press. It works just like the larger version and makes delicious coffee. Note that they refer to a ‘cup’ of coffee as 4 ounces, whereas I drink a ‘mug’ of 8 ounces. It will brew a full measuring cup, which is 8 ounces. You get a little less after you press it. The advantages are that your one cup is always hot, clean up is easy, and my husband, who drinks decaf, can brew a cup whenever he likes. I did find the glass to be a bit thinner than the larger version, and even though I used boiling water, my coffee was not extremely hot. This would be great for travel too. I’m glad I got it.” —JRM
