The YOUNG PRESS was designed in response for the need of a modern yet functional coffee press that is both durable and stylish enough to be used in a variety of environments. The frame is made of santoprene - a hard rubber like material. The windows are made of clear polycarbonate. Together, these two layers form a protective skin around the glass beaker that helps prevent breakage and also assists in keeping the coffee hot longer. The layers will also help insure that the body of the press remains cool to the touch. These features make the YOUNG PRESS ideal for home, office, boat, and even camping!
