The Bean is Bodum's cold-brew jug based on the French press system, sold with the "Yohki" fridge lid. The manufacturer's US page describes it as "8 Cup 34oz", with no equivalent figure given in millilitres or litres; the manufacturer describes it as made of stainless steel, rubber and silicone, with a BPA-free plastic carafe, and positions it explicitly as a cold brew coffee maker, distinct from the traditional French presses in the range that are also meant for hot coffee.
The stated method matches the larger Bean Set: double the usual amount of coarse ground coffee, cold water stirred with a plastic spoon, brewing in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, then swapping the lid for the plunger to press and pour. The official manual for Bodum's cold-brew line describes two filter variants ("metallic filter" and "plastic filter") without stating which one ships on this product code, so this listing leaves the filter type attribute out.
The manufacturer states all parts are dishwasher safe. Compared with the Bean Set, the Bean is the smaller size of the pair, while sharing the same materials and brewing principle.
