As the title said, I’m looking for a stainless steel french press. So far the only producer that actually makes them in Europe seems to be Stelton (Denmark). Bodum looked good, but they do have a factory in China and don’t clearly disclose in the webshop where the specific product is made. Additionally Amazon lists the Bodum Columbia as “Made in China”. Scanpan is another European brand, but the TOGO line is made in China unfortunately.

So I’d be happy to get any pointers for brands to look at.

Edit: The options so far are

  • Stelton EM77, stainless steel cylinder, 80€, made in Denmark
  • Bodum Douro, stainless steel cylinder, 170€, made in Portugal

All other options (WMF, other Bodum models, Bialetti, Paderno) seem to be produced in China or the US.

I didn’t expect it to be this difficult to find viable options.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I’m not actually making coffee in my French Press, but tea. I just learned to love the versatility and form factor of the press, and it still allows to brew the occasional cup of coffee. Edit: The product is also made in Taiwan, so doesn’t fit any of the criteria.

      This company also sells a similar method for tea called the Handy Brew. So you might be able to find a bottom pour tea brewer that’s manufactured in Europe. I’ve gone through some options but I can’t find where the alternatives are manufactured.
