The Bean Set is Bodum's cold-brew jug based on the French press system, with a stated capacity of 1.5 liters (12 cups, 51 oz) and an extra fridge lid included in the set. The manufacturer describes it as made of stainless steel, rubber and silicone, with a BPA-free plastic carafe. The stated method calls for double the usual amount of coarse ground coffee, adding cold water stirred with a plastic spoon, and brewing in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours before pressing the plunger and pouring.
The official manual, shared across several Bodum cold-brew models with a locking lid, describes two filter variants ("metallic filter" and "plastic filter") without stating which one ships on this specific product code, so this listing leaves the filter type attribute out. The locking lid system is meant to keep the brew cold and prevent spills while moving it in and out of the fridge.
The manufacturer states all parts are dishwasher safe and recommends hand-washing in warm, soapy water before first use. The range also includes the smaller Bean model, which works the same way and whose capacity the manufacturer states only in cups and ounces (8 cups, 34 oz), with no milliliter figure.
