Coffee brewing in a Bodum French press.

Among the products Bodum markets are French presses, vacuum coffee brewers (the "Santos" and "Pebo"), and double-walled beverage glasses made in China of borosilicate glass.[4][5] Their products are advertised as BPA free.[6] The company has tried to register "French Press" as a trademark in several territories, but failed in the U.S., and had the trademark expunged in Canada in December 2012.[7] Bodum entered into a partnership agreement with American coffee company Starbucks in November 2016 to sell their French presses.[8][9] In January 2019, the partnership agreement concluded.[10][11]

Their kitchenware featured on the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation, most notably a glass mug with black handle from of which Captain Picard drinks his signature Tea, Earl Grey, hot.[12]
