Bialetti 6860 Preziosa
Score: 76/100Rankings
Bialetti's Preziosa 3-Cup French Press blends stainless steel with a borosilicate glass carafe, providing a solid 350 ml brew with clear cup markings. The plastic handle's markings can fade and the small capacity may not suit larger households. Suited for small kitchens or single users who appreciate Italian design and sturdy build.
The Bodum Brazil 12 oz French Press provides a compact, single-serve solution with a sleek glass body and stainless-steel plunger. Its limited capacity and fragile glass, along with messy cleanup, limit its practicality for larger groups. Perfect for solo drinkers or travelers needing a small footprint.
