Beauty meets innovation in this classically designed BonJour Coffee 8-Cup Maximus French Press. Crafted from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, this French press features an easy-pour spout, and boasts a brushed stainless steel frame and gleaming stainless steel domed lid. The patented Flavor Lock™ filter system integrated right into the stainless steel plunger allows the brewing process to be stopped in the French coffee press when the desired strength is reached. A convenient filtering lid feature helps reduce sediment in cups of espresso and gourmet coffee beverages such as cappuccinos and lattes. Designed with a comfortable handle, the coffee press also comes with a convenient acrylic measuring scoop for adding coffee and espresso. Top-rack dishwasher safe, handwashing the carafe is recommended to preserve its finish.
