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

unbreakable carafe, breakable components November 21, 2008
UTtreehugger
I've had mine for about a month and the ring around the screen on the plunger has already come off and doesn't appear to want to go back on. In general, I think the screen/plunger piece does not fit well and lets a lot of air (and grounds!) pass through the ring, no matter how slowly or carefully you press down the plunger.
This may be okay for camping trips since the carafe seems very durable, but I do not recommend this for daily home or office use. In fact, this weekend I'll be shopping for a larger and less cheaply built glass coffee press in a brick-and-mortar store.
This unit is also very small. If I fill it to capacity I can almost make enough coffee to fill my standard-sized coffee mug.

Through a gift ordering glitch I ended up with two of these. Within two weeks the plastic ring around the plunger broke, one while washing, the other while swishing in rinse water. Not worth the wasted resources.
Don't do it November 18, 2008
James Bell (Saratoga NY)
I bought one of these thinking the plastic would be better for work.
The unit lasted only two months before the rubber seal and plastic seat disentigrated.
The plastic handle / holding band slip when the beaker is hot.
It is drippy.
I am disgruntled.
Unhappy November 12, 2008

The BonJour Hugo 3-cup is a total of 12oz's it is not a conventional 3cup times 8 oz's. It will barely squeeze out a single 8oz cup of coffee. I was not happy when it arrived and contacted the company to suggest they update their ad to say the press produces 3,four ounce cups and not mislead the public by labeling it 3-cup. (Buyer beware.)I did decide to keep it as it makes a great single cup of loose leaf tea.
