BonJour Hugo 8-Cup Unbreakable French Press, Black customer reviews:

Very Breakable
The unbreakable claim proved to be entirely unfounded. Through an ordering mishap we ended up with two presses. Although the press body undoubtedly withstands normal wear, the plastic press portion is made of very cheap plastic. The first one broke in the wash. I replaced it with the other one, thinking it was a fluke, and adopted the practice of swishing the press in the wash water instead of putting a cloth to it. This practice similarly place too much strain on the plastic retaining the screen, and the replacement broke within two weeks. The worst press I have ever had. I also suspect that the plastic leaches into the boiling water - but that's another post entirely. Do not buy this item.
Disappointed
I was so excited to get this French press in the mail. I had just recently chipped one and was looking for a good replacement. I saw this one, and it claimed to be unbreakable. I thought it would be worth a try. I really liked the filter system. It has a filter attached to the lid as well so when you pour your coffee, it is actually filtered twice (once after you have pressed the grounds to the bottom and yet again when you pour your coffee). If I ever got grounds in my coffee, it was due to a mistake on my part...so far so good. About a week ago, the rod and filter came unscrewed. I had read about this happening and screwed it back together. Then a week or so later, I had made a fresh pot and was taking the rod and filter out to empty the beans and realized the filter mechanism had broken into four pieces. I was very disappointed. This French press claims to be unbreakable. I believe BonJour is probably referring to the carafe when they say unbreakable because it is plastic rather than glass like most presses. In addition, unlike other presses, this press is almost entirely plastic instead of metal (which would be much more durable). I had only had the press for a month, and I was disappointed that their "unbreakable" product did not last longer than a month. Needless to say, I bought another press, and it was not a BonJour one.
Excellent Coffeemaker
This was bought as an anniversary gift for my husband, and he seems very fond of it. Frankly, after tasting the coffee it was worth every penny spent on it. It is not as high profile, or fancy as some of the more expensive models, but it still seems to present plenty of quality, and serves it's purpose very well. I am glad I chose it!I would highly reccommend it over many others I have seen and tried.
Love it!
These French Presses are fabulous. The best thing about them is they are made of good quality plastic and are durable. What's not to love?
After replacing 3 glass carafes...
My 92 year old dad kept breaking his glass carafes. After the 3rd one I thought an unbreakable one was a good idea. Works well so far, the nut holding the plunger/strainer together came off, but retightened easily, fortunately it was me that discovered that.
