An instant success, the Young Press has brought out the “kid” in many coffee lovers. Originally designed to add a younger, “hip” look to the Bodum assortment of coffee makers, the Young Press has stolen the hearts of coffee lovers from all age groups. The design is unique. We have taken our durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and surrounded it with a santoprene (similar to a rubber or hard wetsuit type feel) frame. The frame has built in polycarbonate windows so that you can still see the brewing process.

Contemporary look and practical design Mar 02, 2007
By M. Chang I wanted a coffee press or a 'plunger,' as they call it in Australia, as a backup for our regular drip coffee maker. Living in a rural area, we tend to lose power several times each winter, and vowed not to chew the grinds in 'camp coffee' every time. Of all the models, I chose this one for it's attractive, whimsical design, and protection over the glass beaker. The body exterior is rubber and clear plastic, which protects the removable and replaceable glass vessel within. The handle is sturdy. The plastic top cover feels a bit flimsy, but seems fine, since it doesn't do any hard labor. The plunger itself works as well as any other I've used (belonging to others). A bonus that I didn't expect, is the extra insulation the outer skin provides, keeping the coffee hot for a lot longer than a naked glass pot.

Great value Sep 18, 2007
By John B. Goode

I have Bodum's double walled cups and I wanted to get their double walled tea pot, but that sucker is $60! So I hunted around and finally found this. Even though they don't advertise it as double walled, that's what it is.
You have a removable glass beaker inside and a plastic polycarbonate outer shell. There's a few millimeters of space between the two and that's enough to insulate the inside and keep the outside cool. I use this to brew tea and the double wall keeps the tea inside nice and very hot.
The wide mouth makes this easy to clean as well. And at $20, for Bodum quality, it's a steal, just wonderful!
3.5 year update: It's now 2011 and I guess everything has gone up. It's no longer $20. I think back in 2007 it was $30 with $10 off to make it $20. I still have this and I still use it whenever I need to make more than 2-3 cups of tea.
It still works great and I haven't broken it in the wash yet!

Easy, reliable ... GREAT coffee. May 21, 2007
By Sammy Clemens But please, please read the instructions if you aren't familiar with "press" coffee making. They're clear and touch on all the possible pitfalls for the newbie.
Then, enjoy a really well-designed, well-made French press. Another reviewer has mentioned its most outstanding design characteristics. It's attractive, a tad more rugged than most, and most important: it makes great coffee.

8 cup bodium young coffee press Oct 21, 2007
By Mary C This product works well, is easy to clean and keeps the hot coffee hot longer because of an outer plastic container which also protects the glass interior from breakage. The only problem is that it should not be considered an 8 cup coffee maker (maybe in France) but only about 3 average sized cups was all I got from it. I allow the coffee to steep in hot water about 5 minutes and then the 3 cups are ready.

coffee press Aug 27, 2007
By Edna Steinbuch I have used the above press numerous times by now and am very satisfied with it. The rubber cover makes it easier to manage and less likely to break (which happened to my previous one) and the coffee comes out just right.
