Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BonJour Hugo 3-Cup Unbreakable French Press, Black
Customer Review: You need to know how to use it ...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well-made product, and especially great after I broke my third glass one!
For those who complain about the size ... it does say pretty clearly in the description that this is three 4 oz. cups. The reason is that it's designed for making coffee in the French manner, which will produce much better coffee than you're used to. Here's how you do it:
1. Put twice as many grounds in the container as you're used to. I usually use two Tbsp. coarse ground coffee per 8oz., so for this little one 3 Tbsp.
2. Pour the hot water in, let steep for four minutes.
3. Press, and pour your coffee.
4. If you're a long-haul trucker or want hair on your back, drink it straight. Otherwise, cut it as much as 2:1 with hot milk (for a cafe au lait) or hot water.
5. Laugh at all the schmucks who think you need to pay $4 for a cup of coffee.
Incidentally, you can heat the milk by steaming it, although that's not technically an au lait.
Description of BonJour Hugo 3-Cup Unbreakable French Press, Black
The BonJour UNBREAKABLES¿for those who are a little clumsy before their morning coffee! The Hugo 3-Cup Unbreakable French Press is attractive and durable, perfect for patio, RV, boat or picnics. The carafe is made of polycarbonate that is unbreakable with normal use and care. The frame and lid are durable plastic with a rubberized comfort-grip handle that is easy to hold. Includes BonJour's filtering lid for less sediment in your coffee. Bottom is removable.A 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
