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

Been using it for less than 2 months now and there is a leak from the bottom. The cost to ship the item back under warranty is just about as much as buying another one. not worth it
Rating: - Work great to me
Nothing bad for this one. It works great for me so far (about one month from purchased it). I use it for tea not coffee press.
Rating: - A good buy for any coffee drinker
This french press is simple to use and durable. I was using it to it's full potential from the moment I took it out of the box; there is really no use for the instructions with which it comes. Since then, I've used it about two to three times a day for 6 weeks. Dispite frequent and chronic insults, it's remained fully functional without signs of decay. Adding to it's simplicity is the cleaning of the french press. Really, it doesn't stain and comes apart (two pieces) for fast and thorough cleaning.
What's more, the coffee it produces seems to me to be the right amount of coffee. ... Read More
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
