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.
“designed in Canada” pretty much means it’s made elsewhere, most likely China.
As a general rule I would say, if it says “Designed in X” but not “Made in X” it is probably made in China.
Agreed. And according to OP the manual stated it was made in China.
It’s also worth noting that the country of origin is not a straight forward thing to declare as products often have international value chains.
