Score: 80/100Rankings
The Secura 34-oz insulated press combines double-wall stainless steel construction with a 3-layer filter and extra screens for excellent heat retention and filtration.

The Bodum Chambord 34 oz French Press combines a timeless borosilicate glass carafe with a copper-plated stainless steel frame for a premium look and solid build.
