The BRAZIL coffee maker incorporates the BODUM® motto beautifully: good design doesn't have to be expensive. After all, we want to give everybody a chance to brew an excellent cup of coffee in a green way: just add course ground coffee, hot water and press. No paper filters or plastic cups are needed.The BRAZIL has a heat resistant, borosilicate glass beaker (the standard for all BODUM French press plungers) and a 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.
