Bodum French Press

The carafe is made from borosilicate glass, which is known for its thermal shock resistance and durability compared to standard glass. While it is sturdy enough for daily use, it is still glass and should be handled with care to avoid impacts against hard surfaces.

With a 34-ounce capacity, this press yields approximately 8 cups of coffee, assuming a standard 4-ounce serving size. It is perfectly sized for a household of two or for brewing a large pot to share.

Yes, all components—including the glass carafe, stainless steel plunger, and plastic lid—are dishwasher safe. For the longest lifespan, we recommend placing the glass carafe on the top rack or washing it by hand.

No, the handle is made from durable, heat-resistant plastic, so it remains cool to the touch even when the carafe is filled with hot water. This makes pouring your coffee safe and comfortable.

The stainless steel plunger is designed to effectively separate grounds from the brewed coffee. However, because French press brewing is an immersion method, you may find a small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your cup, which is typical for this style of coffee maker.
