The Brazil French Press coffee maker， designed in the early 80's， was our first coffee maker and quickly became a symbol of what bodum stands for attractive and functional design at an affordable price! The Brazil has an ultra-light， heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and a polypropylene handle and base， which make the Brazil easy to use and easy to clean. A mesh filter allows this flavor to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. The patented safety lid prevents the splashing of liquids while pressing. All parts are dishwasher safe.
