The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other coffee makers, kettles and brewers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Bodum 10931-01 holds 0.5 L, making it a comfortable two-cup brewer without the bulk of a larger carafe. The reusable filter is standard French press design: it lets the coffee oils and some fine particles into the cup, which is what gives this brew method its full body and texture compared to paper-filtered alternatives.
The carafe is glass with a black finish and the unit weighs 0.92 lb, which is heavier than the smallest Bodum presses but still light enough to handle without strain. All components are listed as dishwasher safe, and the unit has no electrical components given its manual operation.
At $49.30 the price is higher than competing 0.5 L glass presses from other brands. The 292-review count is modest compared to Bodum's best-selling models, so the rating of 4.4 is solid but based on a smaller sample. Buyers who already trust the Bodum build quality and want a specific mid-size capacity will find it reliable.

What buyers say
At 4.4 stars from 292 buyers the sentiment is positive, though the review pool is smaller than Bodum's flagship models. Buyers in this category generally cite ease of brewing and cleanup as the main draws. Price sensitivity is the primary hesitation for some shoppers given the per-liter cost compared to alternatives.
