The Bodum company got its start in Denmark in 1944, when Peter Bodum started a business wholesaling household products. Today, the Bodum brand, known for its innovative coffee press, as well as its tea makers, is still family-owned. Besides being known for the aesthetic quality of their products, Bodum is recognised as a leading maker of French presses, vacuum coffee makers and double-walled beverage glasses made of borosilicate glass. It has registered "FrenchPress" as a trademark in many territories. Borosilicate glass body and handle, stainless-steel infuser and plastic knob. Patented system stops brewing when tea is plunged so tea is not bitter. Brews tea at preferred strength without a need to remove the infuser. Dishwasher Safe Tea brewing doesnt get any purer than with the Bodum tea preses. This unique system makes sure your tea is brewed precisely to your desired strength and aroma. Most of the Bodum tea presses are made of borosilicate glass which doesnt stain and doesnt give off any taste. The glass allows you to watch the brewing process, bringing all the beautiful tea colours to life. Whether you love green tea, black tea or fruit teas, the Bodum tea presses are as much a pleasure for the eye as they are for the taste buds.
