Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Presso Doublewall Stainless Steel Thermal 8 Cup Coffee Press, 34-Ounce
Customer Review: Inaccurate description, somewhat disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I seem to be trying every coffee press on Amazon, with dismal results. After breaking _another_ glass Bodum french press, we decided to go to stainless steel. The problem is that all the stainless press pots so far have high prices, combined with quality issues, as detailed in my other reviews. Now for this one:
Okay, first, it does not come with a "3-part stainless screen" as described. Actually, it comes with a one-piece screen assembly with a silicone edge gasket and stainless screen material molded into a plastic frame. If you have an old 3-part stainless screen assembly lying around (from a broken glass Bodum, perhaps...) you can screw that on, as the threads are the same size, or just use the whole assembly, lid and all.
Personally, I don't at all appreciate plastic in my food, much less in my scalding hot coffee. There is no safe amount of plasticizer for the human body to contain, and all plastics release chemicals, most especially when heated and in contact with hot liquids. BPA is just the tip of the iceberg... YMMV, FYI, IMO, etc.
Anyway, I don't appreciate the inaccurate description, let alone the cheap, plastic construction. So this one is going back.
The body of the thing is solid, for sure, and looks to be indestructible, other than the handle, which wiggles a bit... Probably sturdy enough for careful use, but not super solid. The picture makes it look nice and smooth, but my example has a bunch of ripples at the angle between the upright section and the angled bottom. Compared to the picture online, mine looks like the "before" picture with abdominal flab.
The lid assembly is pretty bad; there's a cheaply-stamped little triangle in the lid, which mars the smooth look, and is presumably intended to indicate the direction of the plastic grill underneath that permits pouring. But that plastic bit underneath is not connected to the metal top, so they can and do rotate independently, making the stamped triangle useless. The two bits are attached by a plastic clip that also serves as the bushing for the shaft, so you could maybe disassemble it and glue the parts together. The rubbery plastic top button screws directly onto a metal shaft, and looks sure to strip out and loosen.
I'd keep it if it weren't for the plastic screen and chintzy lid, but the cellulite-like rippling on the main body isn't very attractive, either. Ah, market forces and their inexorable pressure for lower quality! My search for a solid, 100% metal, well-made large coffee press continues.
Description of Bodum Presso Doublewall Stainless Steel Thermal 8 Cup Coffee Press, 34-Ounce
The new PRESSO Thermal French Press Coffee Maker will leave a permanent impression on the minds of coffee lovers everywhere. Its simple and clean conic design positions it as a timeless classic. The PRESSO's thermal qualities are created by its double wall of durable stainless steel, keeping coffee hot longer. The 3-part stainless steel plunger has a fine mesh filter, which allows for a premium extraction of your coffee?s aromatic oils and subtle flavors. A mesh filter allows this flavor to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. Plus, no paper filter means no waste. The knob on top of the lid and ergonomic handle are covered with non-slip rubber, both remaining cool to the touch. Featuring a safety lid, the Presso French Press prevents liquids from splashing from pot. Like all Bodum French press coffeemakers, the PRESSO delivers a balanced and robust flavor profile to your cup. The PRESSO is available as an 8-cup coffee maker (1l/34oz). All parts are dishwasher safe.French Presses
