Skip if
You want to see the coffee level through the carafe wall, since stainless steel is opaque. The listed weight of 14.4 lb seems likely to be a spec error, as stainless French presses in this size category typically weigh under 2 lb, so verify current details before purchasing.

Overview
The Bodum 11057-01BUS stands out in the Bodum lineup for its rubberized silicone exterior over a stainless steel body. The silicone adds grip and some insulation, which helps keep coffee warm slightly longer than a bare stainless press. The black color and 3.3 x 3.3 x 8.8 in form factor keep it looking clean on a counter.
The reusable filter is standard for stainless Bodum presses, and it produces the fuller-bodied cup that French press drinkers expect. Dishwasher safe on all components, including the silicone wrap, which simplifies daily cleaning. The touchscreen controls listed in specs likely refer to a press-style lid latch rather than a digital panel given the manual operation designation.
At $23.57 it is priced accessibly for a stainless press, and with 5,200 reviews at 4.5 stars it has enough buyer feedback to be a reliable signal rather than a guess. The 850 W wattage listed may relate to a variant with an integrated heater, so review current listing details to confirm the configuration you are ordering.

What buyers say
5,200 ratings at 4.5 stars reflects steady buyer satisfaction over time rather than a short promotional spike. The silicone grip and stainless build are the most cited reasons for purchase. Occasional feedback flags the stainless opacity as a minor adjustment from glass presses, but most buyers adapt quickly.
It adds grip to the outside of the stainless carafe, making it less likely to slip from wet hands, and provides a small amount of insulation to help retain heat.
