BONJOUR INTRODUCES BPA-FREE GOURMET COFFEE AND TEA PRODUCTS New “Ami-Matin” French Press Coffee Maker and “Prosperity” Teapress Address Growing Concern in Health Risks of Bisphenol-A in Beverage and Food Plastics

Anyone that is not consuming caffeine in any way, shape or form is beyond us, and we always like to be apprised of the latest and greatest innovations in the wide world of coffee & tea at Whom You Know! We have said Hello to Bonjour (and we also said Good Day!) and they have some great new ideas that have your health in mind.

Taking a leadership position in the issue of growing health concerns in America over Bisphenol-A (BPA) in plastics used for beverage and food containers, BonJour unveils two BPA-free products, the new Ami-Matin French Press Coffee Maker and Prosperity Teapress. We think this is excellent and we've tried it.

“Concerns about the health risks of Bisphenol-A, which recently escalated with the announcement that the F.D.A. will conduct thorough studies of the chemical on animals and humans, convinced us that we needed to take a leadership role in the housewares industry and offer our retailers and consumers new BPA-free options in BonJour coffee and tea products,” says Suzanne Murphy, Vice President of Marketing at Meyer Corporation, U.S., including the BonJour Gourmet Division.

The new BonJour Ami-Matin French Press Coffee Maker features a conveniently unbreakable, heat-resistant carafe that is crafted with Tritan^™from Eastman, a leading new BPA-free material favored for its durability, lightness, and shatterproof properties. Coffee lovers can now experience the full benefits of brewing rich, smooth-tasting coffee in an unbreakable French Press, without any worries of potential health risks linked to BPA.

The classic bistro-style BonJour Ami-Matin French Press Coffee Maker, which is designed with a translucent carafe frame and lid in Rouge (Red), Azure (Blue), Peridot (Green) and Noir (Black), features BonJour’s unique shut-off filter feature that stops the brewing action to keep coffee at its optimum level, from the first to the last cup. Additionally, a patented stainless steel filtering screen helps eliminate sediments from being poured into cups for the smoothest, full-bodied coffee.

Available now at retail nationwide, the BonJour Ami-Matin French Press Coffee Maker is offered in a 3-cup ($14.99) and 8-cup capacity size ($24.99).

For tea lovers, the new BonJour Prosperity Teapress with flavor lock feature is crafted from BPA-free plastic for worry-free brewing of flavorful, aromatic tea made using tea leaves. This state-of-the-art Teapress is beautifully designed with a sized, 40.6 ounce/1.2 Liter carafe made of translucent, heat-resistant borosilicate glass.

Prosperity Teapress ensures a consistently smooth-tasting cup of tea with its innovative BPA-free infuser. This specially designed infuser basket features holes to allow tea leaves to come in full contact with the hot water for proper infusion and brewing. After brewing, the plunge filter seals tea leaves in a solid chamber at the bottom of the infuser, which immediately stops the brewing process.

For added strength and stability, Prosperity Teapress features a sturdy built-in coaster, wide handle and lid available in three colors: Rouge (Red), Azure (Blue) and Peridot (Green).

Available now at retail nationwide, the new BonJour Prosperity Teapress is priced at $19.99.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
