I Swapped My Favorite 20-Year-Old French Press for This All-Glass Version-and I'm Never Going Back
"It's simple, reliable, and yields a flavorful cup of coffee, so I've never felt the need to replace it. Until now. Recently, I was introduced to Pure Over's new glass French press, and its superior performance and sleek appearance impressed me so much that I've decided to finally say bye-bye to my Bodum-or at least give the vintage "heirloom" to my niece for her new apartment."
"Like the editor-loved Pure Over pour-over system, the body of the brand's French press is made entirely of glass so it's completely free of microplastics and toxic chemicals. It has a double-walled body with a squared handle that gives it a modern flair. A stainless steel plunger and filter are attached to the flat lid, and a glass stir stick is included for agitating coffee grounds."
"Before I unboxed the French press, I thought it might be too fragile to actually use. I've broken quite a few glass kitchen items in the past, including a water-filtering pitcher that immediately shattered when it hit my sink's faucet the first time I washed it. Once I held the Pure Over French press in my hands, however, I was happy to find that it had some heft to it. In fact, its carafe was actually much thicker than my Bodum's."
Pure Over's French press is constructed entirely of glass, eliminating microplastics and toxic chemicals. The carafe is double-walled and features a squared handle, a stainless steel plunger and filter, a glass stir stick, and a ceramic base. The carafe feels heavier and noticeably thicker than the Bodum Brazil French press owned for two decades. The press combines sleek appearance with reliable performance. Brewing follows a standard French press routine: add coarse grounds, pour boiling water to the handle connection point, stir for about 30 seconds to bloom, steep four minutes, then press the plunger slowly.
