It's made from Lexan so it's virtually indestructible and won't affect the flavor of your drink. It has a detachable handle for compact packing, making it ideal for travel, camping, or just stashing in your filing cabinet at work."

From EMS:
"This 33-ounce French press is the perfect way to steep flavorful coffee while at camp or at home. Virtually unbreakable Lexan body, great for camp, travel, or home. Lightweight, stainless-steel filter is also excellent for preparing tea. Features insulated dispenser cup, detachable handle, and smoothly operating plunger."

"This indestructible French Press is the perfect way to brew great coffee without that burnt taste. An unbreakable polycarbonate composition makes this item perfect for camp, cabin or boat. Simple to use - just add nearly boiling water to medium ground coffee. Allow it 4 minutes to brew, then press down plunger and you're ready to serve. Dishwasher safe. O-ring on the plunger prevents scratching."

"The Lexan on this type of press is strong but the stem of the plunger breaks off where joins the plastic filter disc.

Comparison:
The mini espresso kettles that sit on top of a burner just take too long to make enough coffee for even one person, break easily and are nerve-wracking while you circle around waiting for your fix, staring at it balanced on the stove, then sip the shot and start again with shaking hands, burning fingers and pupils the size of dinner-plates."
