After buying this French Press I must say I’m disappointed by BonJour and most likely won’t buy their products again. It’s my first French Press. I was excited to say the least. But I found a few problem with this particular brand.
1. The metal casing was not very well fitted. The bending of these legs aren’t even so the glass doesn’t really sit in the middle. Also the metal casing holds the glass very tight. Making it impossible to replace it without either breaking it or take everything apart.
2. The press is very loose. It slides down to the bottom without you pushing it at all.
Eventially I return this and bought a Frieling Stainless Steel French Press. But I also went to Peet’s coffee and looked at the Bodum ones. If you really want to get a glass one, get Bodum ones. They are much better made than Bonjour. The press part is also all metal on the Bodum ones. Consider that Bodum ones are the same price as these Bonjour ones, I see no reason anyone would buy this unless Bonjour improve their quality dramatically.

I am a big tea drinker. Before I purchased my French Press I used to brew one cup at a time. I tried to get two cups out of one bag so I would put my tea bag in another cup until I was ready to brew again. Since I have the French Press I brew all my tea at one time. If I want two cups I know that they will both taste the same. I can use the left over tea to make iced tea.
I really like it and it is easy to clean.
