Bodum makes some of the finest coffee brewing equipment money can buy and their French Press is the industry standard! The carafe is made of non-stain, heat-resistant borosilicate glass that won’t alter or impair the coffee’s natural flavor. The glass is framed with durable and lightweight plastic that protects the glass. It is more environmentally friendly than many coffee-brewing methods – no paper filters or plastic capsules required. Easy to use and easy to clean.
