Product Description

BonJour offers the ultimate in French Press innovation and quality. The Monet style French Press Coffeemaker features BonJour's distinctive high dome lid. Don't underestimate the rich dark coffee that only this simple but elegant brewing method can make. Start with freshly roasted beans, coarsely ground. Add the grinds to the glass breaker, fill with boiling water, stir with a non-metal spoon and let the grinds steep for 3-4 minutes. Then, slowly press down the plunger and pour. This deep, dark, rich coffee will have some sediment...but that's what makes it one of Europe's best kept secrets! Features of the press also include: 3 cup (375ml) capacity. Stainless steel filters, rods and screens that will not rust or corrode. Stainless steel frame and lid that makes the press more durable. Heat resistant German borosilicate glass. Easy grip knobs and handles, available in black. Acrylic measuring scoop.

Amazon.com Review
The vivid hues of the Monet French press will brighten up your morning toast or after-dinner coffee in vivid style. A gleaming dome caps the traditional stainless-steel frame, and the colored handle and knob provide accent. Simply add your favorite coffee (using the handy, color-coordinated measuring scoop included), pour boiling water over, and let sit for a few minutes. Pressing the plunger with its fine mesh screen presses the grounds to the bottom, leaving rich, robust coffee ready to serve. Though pieces are top-shelf dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. If you sometimes brew coffee for a crowd, consider also getting an 8- or 12-cup press. --Cynthia Nims

I am in tea heaven
I use my coffee press for loose tea and I love it. I make tea with this press at least once a day. It is also great for coffee and is nice to have on hand for when my father visits and wants his one cup. When I buy my coffee I tell the coffee expert at my local market that it is for a french press so that he will give me a coarse grind. But the tea is where this product really shines. It has a strainer at the pouring lip so that I'm drinking tea and not spitting leaves. It brews the perfect mug in less than 5 minutes and because it is clear glass I can easily moniter how dark my tea will be. I have been using my press for nearly 5 months now and will be ordering more for when I entertain. Hand washing is very easy and the used leaves go easily down the garbage desposil.

Cute but Tiny
If you like a tiny cup of coffee like many Europeans do, this is a great little unit. But if you like an American-sized cup or mug of coffee (8-12 oz.), don't be misled by the ad touting it as a 3-cup unit. We returned it for a larger model because as cute and nicely made as it is, it barely makes one good-sized cup.
