Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bonjour Hugo 2-Piece Coffee Press and Frother Set
Customer Review: Good, uncomplicated, and simple.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm an occasional coffee drinker and just can't justify contributing any of my limited counter space to a drip machine, but still wanted to be able to have an alternative to instant (yuck!) when coffee is needed. I also was curious about french presses and at this price, decided to give a lower-end model a shot. This little guy works perfectly for me since it makes really good coffee and is a breeze to just rinse and set just about anywhere. I really like the fact that I don't have to bother with filters, either.
Not being a coffee snob, maybe my tastes are unsophisticated, but the directions that came with the unit called for 6 (SIX) scoops of coffee grounds to be used in making a full pot, which seemed kind of excessive, but being new to it, I played along and nearly choked on the result! Way too strong for me. Of course, the instructions also list this as a six cup model, which is crazy. The container, if nearly filled with water/coffee only makes enough to partially fill (like 2/3rds full) two of my 10 or 12 oz mugs, so, for my tastes, that's just way too much coffee. I've found that 3 scoops works very well. The little milk frother that came with it is fun, too. In fact, we were really surprised at just how much volume it created in a glass of steamed milk, given its tiny size and seeming fragility.
Overall, very very pleased with this unit.
Description of Bonjour Hugo 2-Piece Coffee Press and Frother Set
The Bonjour Hugo Cappucino Set is a 6 cup French Press combined with an automatic milk frother for the ideal gift to any coffee loving recipient. The French Press carafe is made of unbreakable polycarbonate. It features a comfort handle and rubberized base along with a patented filtering lid to reduce sediment in your coffee. The battery powered automatic frother produces rich, creamy froths for cappucinos, lattes or mochas.Now you can make your own cappuccino or latte without an expensive espresso maker. This set includes a six-cup French press, which many aficionados swear makes the best tasting coffee, along with a battery-powered turbo frother that whips milk into foamy froth. Bonjour's Hugo carafe is made of unbreakable polycarbonate, and comes with a removable, rubberized base, comfort-grip handle, and plastic frame. The patented filter in the lid reduces fine sediment sometimes found in the bottom of a cup of coffee made by the French press method. The stainless-steel plunger, lid, frame, and carafe are dishwasher-safe; with the metal parts removed, the Hugo is microwave-safe.
The Hugo six-cup carafe makes about 24 ounces of coffee, which is more like three cups for most coffee drinkers. Sleek and contemporary, the hand-held frother features a white handle with black cap that unscrews for battery replacement, and a stainless-steel wand and coil. Heating milk before frothing can help increase the foam. Batteries are not included, and the frother wand should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri
