Bodum Shin Bistro French Press Wins 2008 Good Design Award

Bodum's awesome Shin Bistro double-walled French press was awarded the coveted 2008 Good Design award from the Chicago Athenaeum -- one of three of their double-walled, borosilicate glassware to be bestowed this prestigious honor. French press coffee is not only some of the most delicious coffee available, it's also probably the "greenest" -- since it doesn't use electricity to brew, it's a great method for home use...and we love to take ours camping! The double wall provides increased thermal regulation and keeps the outside cool to the touch. Also, borosilicate is the glass used in test tubes and beakers, so you can really drop some science when you brew up coffee for your pals (sorry).
