Freud Coffee Plunger: Press to Impress
An alternative to the basic Bodum press pot, the Freud Coffee Plunger sports a vaguely nautical design and a stubby wood handle. The coffee pots come in two sizes, large (1 liter) and small (300 ml).
How does it compare to a Bodum in terms of functionality? I have no idea, but it certainly looks cool.
£48.95 (roughly $73) for the small pot at Graham and Green.
