Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BonJour Hugo 8-Cup Unbreakable French Press, Black
Customer Review: BonJour coffee press waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
BonJour coffee press is a terrible product. Poorly designed. Sure the carafe is unbreakable, but what does break into pieces is the plastic piece used to press down the coffee grinds. This happened within one month of purchase. I returned the press (I paid the shipping, which was high), received a replacement, and again within less than a month the same part broke. Obviously can't handle the heat and pressure. Of course customer service claims this has never happened before. But for the identical part on two different presses to break? Come on. Save your money and do not buy this product. The Bodun is infinitely better, as its press part is metal. Should have bought that one in the first place and not wasted my money.Customer Review: BonJour, Ya it breaks

Summary: 5 Stars
This makes coffee as good as an espresso machine. You put in one TBSP of freshly ground coffee per cup, then add water at a boil and let it sit for five minutes. Then you insert the plunger, and push the dregs to the bottom and pour out your coffee into a cup and drink it. Couldn't be simpler, and the coffee is better than what's made in most other methods. This Bonjour French Press coffeemaker is made of Polycarbonate plastic, so if you drop it, you don't have to buy a new one.
I have only one issue with this product. It holds one liter of liquid. The manufacturer claims this is 8 cups. A liter is 33.75 ounces of water. This means that the manufacturer considers a cup of coffee to be roughly 4 ounces of liquid. In my experience, a cup is 8 ounces of liquid. So this is really a 4 cup coffee maker. Good enough for me. The three cup version of this coffeemaker wlll make enough coffee for one person. This one will make two cups for two people in one filling. I think it is a good deal. I'd recommend it to others because it has some desireable features.

Product arrived, much to my surprise, as I gave a wrong address. Exactly as advertised. Sorry for the trouble!Customer Review: Breakable french press
Summary: 2 Stars
When they say 'unbreakable', they are referring to the plastic caraffe, which is probably very durable, although I never dropped it. However, the construction of the plunger and filter is poor. It is almost entirely plastic. Mine broke after about two weeks. The first time I put it through the dishwasher the plunger broke within two days. I'm going to drive over the caraffe now and see if it's really unbreakable. Don't buy this press, get the sturdy glass bodum one and just be careful with the glass.
