Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BonJour Hugo 3-Cup Unbreakable French Press, Black
Customer Review: Teeny Tiny - Update: interior breaks easily
Summary: 1 Stars
I realize that three cups usually refers to the tiny coffee cups, but the liquid content of this french press would fill maybe two of those. Makes one decent mug of coffee, which is fine but a bit wasteful (have to use a bit more ground coffee to make two mugs than I would with a larger french press). Nothing special, but I would go with a five or eight cup if you are making coffee for more than just yourself.
EDIT: I have used this item only on the weekends since purchase, have only hand washed and I never, ever touch the screen. I wash that by running hot water over it and shaking it, that's it. IT BROKE. The plastic on the top of the screen cracked, letting a rubber o-ring loose and releasing all of the grounds. Waste of money, if it can't take the light use and handling I was giving it then it is useless.
Customer Review: Cold Coffee and NOT a 3 Cup French Press
Summary: 1 Stars
Whomever said that this should be considered a "3 cup" French Press must have been living in a different time and space dimension because this most certainly did not put forth more than 1 cup of coffee!
I am a faithful Bodum French Press consumer who is used to glass French Presses. The plastic of this Hugo model might be "unbreakable," but it also allows the coffee to get cold more quickly. It has helped that I have wrapped the press with a tea towel, however, this is a tedious thing to do every time.
I am not happy with this purchase and would not recommend this to staunch coffee afficiandos.
Customer Review: Unbreakable my a**.
Summary: 1 Stars
We have had this french press for a few months. We are a single couple and used it nearly every morning. No heavy use, just one pot per day. We loved it at first (it does work well when not broken). We have always been gentle with it. My husband was making coffee this weekend and two of the plastic support pieces on the bottom of the plunger broke off. It is now unusable. No, I didn't save the box so I can not send it back because well.....IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNBREAKABLE. I love coffee from a french press, but I think I'll get a percolator. VERY disappointed. I'm not even sure where to quality products anymore......Customer Review: I should have taken the reviews as a warning
Summary: 1 Stars
I used this little press no more than 20 times over the course of a year. As many have said in other reviews, the plastic bottom part of the plunger disintegrated. Amazing really. You can actually check it's progress from use to use. If not for that fatal flaw this is a great little press-never got a ground in my coffee. I checked their website to see about using the lifetime warranty and found that I would need to mail the whole thing in for inspection. That would quite literally be more trouble than it's worth as I'm sure the manufacturer is well aware.Customer Review: Broke in 1 week
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this after the glass on our previous press broke. We had it for 8 years. Given the glass breaking on our previous press, we thought this would be great. It was great for the first week (I had even dropped the dispenser part once in that time - didn't break), but then like other reviews mentioned, the screen "press" holder plastic basically disintigrated. This obviously made the product unusable. Will go back to the other brand which is more expenseive, but if it lasts another 8 years as the previous one did, worth every penny.
