Editorial Review:
Smell that fresh coffee aroma! BonJour brings color, comfort and performance together in the versatile Hugo French Press. The rubberized comfort-grip handle feels great to hold, while the rubberized base keeps your press in place. The 53392 unique built-in filtering lid reduces loose grinds in your cup! A color coordinated acrylic scoop is also included. The patented high-dome filtering lid causes less sediments in your coffee. It is made from Borosilicate glass for superior heat retention and clarity. Rubberized base Specifications - Capacity - 375 ml / 12 ounces / 1 Cup Weight - 0.7 lbs. Material - Polycarbonate Made from Borosilicate glassA virtually unbreakable polycarbonate carafe makes this coffee press sturdy enough for picnics, camping, or dorm use. 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 three-cup carafe makes about 12 ounces of coffee, which is merely one large cup for some coffee drinkers. A larger eight-cup model is also available, and both come in black, white, blue, or green. --Ann Bieri

Backcountry coffee snobs unite! 
well there is constant discussion over how us backpackers make our java at camp. Some use disposable bags, some use instant, some use coffee concentrate (java juice, etc.)
I have been using this product for well over 3 years on occasion and found it to be a worthwhile luxury on those cold desert mornings at camp. This is definatley a great alternative to heavier (titanium) and far more expensive (titanium) presses you see sold at the outdoor stores. Most outdoor retailers carry a lexan version of the... more info

One Cup
I prefer coffee made in a French Press. My fovorite size is 16 oz (4 cup), but nobody seems to make one these days. Anyway, the pot does exactly what it is supposed to do. Most peoples' disappointments likely result from 3 cup expectations from a 12 oz pot. It's just a little guy.

Stupid Product
I bought this back in 2007 and was initially happy with it. Turns out "unbreakable" only refers to the cup, not the rest of the press.
After a month or so the plunger screen broke in half.
Lots of other people must think the same thing, because among the tag suggestions Amazon is giving me are "horrible" and "junk". Just be warned. You get what you pay for, and sometimes less.
