Bodum

Bodum, Inc. also known as BODUM is a tableware and kitchenware company founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1944 by Peter Bodum. In 1978, the founder's son and new chief executive officer, J�rgen Bodum, moved the company to Switzerland to locate Bodum strategically in central Europe.Besides being known for the aesthetic quality of their products, Bodum is recognized[citation needed] as a leading maker of French presses, vacuum coffee brewers the Santos and double-walled beverage glasses made of borosilicate glass. It has registered "FrenchPress" as a trademark in many territories.Through common usage, the name has become somewhat synonymous with the French press.

Bodum is known for using borosilicate glass which is very durable when exposed to thermal shock or high heat conditions such as encountered in kitchen ovens and microwaves. It will not shatter or explode as occurs with lime soda glass. Borosilicate glass is also used in research and manufacturing laboratory environments where strength and durability are often critical.This articles is retrieved from wikipedia, if you want to buy a bodum products you can go to http://frenchpressreview.com
