Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The days of shattering the coffee pot in the sink during washing are over. The Brazil coffee maker has a heat-resistant, shatterproof SAN plastic beaker and a polypropylene handle and base to help make it easy to use and easy to clean. The beaker is also BPA free for healthier coffee consumption, and it's ready in 4 minutes. The French Press design has a 3-part stainless-steel plunger with a fine mesh filter, allowing for a premium extraction of coffee’s aromatic oils and subtle flavors. A mesh filter allows this flavor to be delivered directly to a cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. Plus, no paper filter means no waste. The Brazil's patented safety lid prevents splashing while pressing for worry-free, mess-free use. All parts are dishwasher safe. This 8-cup (1 liter / 34 ounces) coffeemaker is also available in a 3-cup (0.35 liter / 12 ounce) size.

Customer Reviews

When I got the press, I thought the price was a little high for an all plastic French press. Then it occurred to me that I'd already broken 3 glass ones at $20+ each. This guy is more than worth the buy. It's also dishwasher safe to boot.
As for the plunger; it's plastic mesh, and I thought I wouldn't like it. But it's much easier to clean than the layered metal screen in the press I had previously. And it makes a better seal so grounds do not migrate around.
From a klutzy guy, I'd say it's more than worth the $$ to keep from breaking the glass carafes.
UPDATE 09-15-11 De-rated to 3 stars.
After 1 year of use (mostly on the weekends) the polycarbonate has developed multiple hairline cracks all over it. Maybe this was from putting it the dishwasher, but who knows? When you plunge it, hot coffee shoots out of the cracks all over the place. I ended up replacing it with another glass one. If I was going to spend the extra money for a shatterproof press, you'd think it would last longer than 1 year with occasional use. I loved this thing and now I'm pretty disappointed.

First french press I've owned. Love it! Needed something that wouldn't break easily, so chose the shatterproof press. The beaker is a heavy clear plastic. Looks like glass from a distance, but very durable. The mesh filter for this product is a one-piece unit and does not disassemble into smaller parts, but works like a charm. No grounds in the coffee and easy to clean.
