Smelled like a rubber boot
Works fine, what can go wrong with a french press. The rubber base smelled like a tire and took several washings to get rid of the odor
Unbreakable? Depends on the part...
Sure, the canister isn't glass and won't shatter when dropped. But the plastic pieces that hold the filter together are a joke. I bought two of the BonJours (an extra just in case since we run a B&B and many guests love our French coffee) in April. Six weeks later, both have broken in the same spot. And the season here is just starting...
The good news is, the unbreakable BonJour canister will work with the unbreakable Bodum filter apparatus which is made out of metal, so I hope I won't have to buy either brand ever again!
Better than Bodum
This one is better than Bodum. Bodum makes cheapo filters that have sharp edges and cut your fingers. We have a Bonjour one that we've used for years and it is way better.
Doesn't fit in my microwave
I bought this so I could put it in the microwave. But it doesn't fit. Otherwise it's a nice French press.
Best French Press
I have been through many french presses, and have had to buy more carafes than I care to remember. This one has an unbreakable carafe, it's light-weight and has the best press that I've ever used. It doesn't let any grounds get by. Doesn't get any better than this!
