Amazon.com Review
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

 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
Katherine J. Mcivor (Tucson,AZ USA)
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.
false advertising November 1, 2008

3 cups only if you're a child having a tea party. i called and complained when i received this item but received no satisfaction. the cups they advertise are european style and even though this is made to be sold in america the company is so elitist that they don't mention the ounces per cup and refuse to even consider that they are fooling the public.
 Great little French Press October 28, 2008
Liddy's Grandma
The BonJour 3-cup French Press works like a charm and the coffee tastes delicious. Downside is that it's very small. The maker must be thinking of demitasse cups. The unbreakable feature is also a plus.
Not for everyone, but a great value October 25, 2008
Moon (Oberlin, OH United States)
I read all the reviews prior to purchasing, so I knew what to expect. That being said, I really like this item - it suites my individual needs.
This carafe is small - really only gives about 1 mug of coffee, which is fine for me. I typically only make one cup of coffee at a time.
If you follow the directions - it works fine.
3 scoops of coarse ground, add boiling water (from a tea kettle - not the microwave), wait 4 minutes, gently push down the press and pour out.
Best to clean by hand, usually a good rinsing is all you need.
And the coffee is GOOD!
Remember, this is a little $10 - $12 item, and a great value for that money. If you are looking for something fancy or to serve several people, spend a few buck more and get something else.
