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. Though top-rack dishwasher safe, hand-washing the carafe is recommended to preserve its finish.
