The BRAZIL has a heat resistant, borosilicate glass beaker (the standard for all BODUM French press plungers) and a BPA-free polypropylene handle and base, which make the Brazil easy to use and easy to clean. Brewing coffee in the BRAZIL is one of life's great pleasures. It brews an excellent cup of coffee in the greenest way possible, just add coarsely ground coffee powder and hot water, wait 4 minutes and then slowly push down the plunger - done! Environmentally friendly, as no paper filters or plastic capsules are needed. Dishwasher safe. Made in Europe.
