The Brazil glass is not like plastic. It is a small coffee press. I almost didn't buy this because of the negative reviews. Bottom line, French press is the best way to make coffee, even if you use an inexpensive model like this one. It does have some plastic parts (which you can see in the picture on the amazon page). You can take the plunger mechanism apart (into four pieces so you can clean the screen properly). I personally use a finer grind than the manufacturer recommends. I like a really strong cup of coffee.
I've been using this Bodum Brazil press every morning since I got it couple months ago. makes exactly one mug full of coffee. It really makes excellent coffee. It is inexpensive and the size is perfect for me. I can't be happier with this coffee press. just feel sorry that I've been ignoring my Breville Espresso machine.
The product arrived in brand new, excellent condition. Although it is described as a "3-CUP" COFFEE PRESS, it will only hold approx 11 ounces of liquid., less than 2 cups, or about enough to fill an average mug.a little dissappointing.
I like it better than a coffee drip because it works so much faster and the water soaks as long as you need to in the beans for more flavor. The size is just perfect for small cups of coffee, it says 3 cups but it is actually a single small mug. Strength of the coffee can be adjusted by how much ground beans you put into it. The craftsmanship isn't so bad but would like the top part of the handle to be more secure to the glass.Note* My first one broke in the mail but customer service sent me a new one which came 4 days later. Totally awesome customer service.*
The press in this miniature device, is partly made of plastic (on other models it is metal). I have always been happy though. I have had several Bodum presses in the past but worn them down or accidentally broken them in the dishes. What's worse, it is the same plastic that European studies have shown that if heated, will be cancerogenous. With this one its a different story. First, it should be more clear how small this thing is, but that's not really my largest concern. That's really not something I want to press press into my 100 degree celsius coffee water. Do you.
