Why we love it
The Brazil is proof that good French press coffee doesn't require a big investment. It uses the exact same borosilicate glass carafe and stainless steel plunger as its fancier sibling, the Chambord — the only real difference is the lightweight BPA-free plastic frame instead of chrome-plated steel. The coffee tastes identical. At around $20, it's the easiest way to find out if French press is your thing without committing to a premium brewer. Available in multiple colors if you want to add a pop to your kitchen. Been in production since the 1980s for a reason.
Pros
- under $20 — the cheapest way to start French pressing
- Same glass and filter as the Bodum Chambord
- Lightweight BPA-free plastic frame
- Available in multiple colors
- Dishwasher safe
Cons
- Plastic frame feels less premium than the Chambord
- Glass carafe is fragile — not ideal for travel
- Same single mesh filter — some sediment expected
- Whole unit needs replacing if glass breaks
