Product Description: BonJour brings color, comfort and performance together in the versatile Hugo French Press. Rubberized comfort-grip handle feels great to hold while the unique built-in filtering lid reduces loose grinds in your cup! Rubberized base, color coordinating acrylic scoop. Features unbreakable polycarbonate carafes. Patented high dome filtering lid for less sediments in your coffee.
Amazon.com Review: A virtually unbreakable polycarbonate carafe makes this coffee press sturdy enough for picnics or camping. To use a French press, grounds are placed in the bottom of the (preheated with hot water, if possible) carafe, then near-boiling water added. The lid with its stainless-steel rod and filter is pushed down after a few minutes of steeping, and the coffee is ready to pour. Many coffee aficionados swear by the French press method. The Hugo features a second mesh screen in the lid that removes even more of the coffee grounds sediment typically left behind by most coffee presses.
In addition to the polycarbonate carafe, the Hugo features a rubberized comfort-grip handle and plastic frame, which makes it possible for coffee (or tea) to be reheated in a microwave when the lid and stainless-steel fixtures are removed. The Hugo eight-cup carafe makes about 32 ounces of coffee, which is more like four cups for most coffee drinkers. An individual-sized 12-ounce model is also available, and both come in black, white, blue, or green. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Fantastic!
This is a fantastic product. I purchased this for my 5th wheel travel trailer. I used to have an old regular coffee pot but, sometimes we dry camp. (no hookups) so I needed something to make "great" coffee in. This is small, yet makes enough coffee for me and my husband. The main reason I chose this though for the plastic carafe, so it will travel and not break. These make great travel coffe pots. Hope this helped, Good Luck.
Rating: - 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
Rating: - 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!
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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.
