There's coffee available at work, but it sucks. I'm thinking about picking up a small French press to keep at my desk and make some decent coffee for myself. I've got a giant Bodum one at home that I like alright, but something smaller and ideally less breakable would be ideal. Suggestions.


And nope, don't want an Aeropress. Got one of those too, I want a French press.

Derp. Anyone know of something similar, but plastic? I think the survivability of the glass is not likely to be high.

never seen a plastic french press. even the super cheapo Ikea ones are (were) glass.

concern w/ plastic is leachables from contact w/ near boiling water

The Aeropress is plastic. I know, not a French press, but from a material application standpoint it might as well be.

my guess is that it was designed by an industrial designer and not an engineer.

You can get a camping press that is plastic but they suck in comparison.

I got my "desk" press at Target for maybe $8.... Worked like a champ for a long time.

And *still* will be 8235x better than the work swill.

works better than glass in my experience.

You can dick around with the plastic or glass one all you want, but one day you will stop, and get the Bodum Columbia.
