Coffee brewing in a Bodum French press.

Among the products Bodum markets are French presses, vacuum coffee brewers (the "Santos"), and double-walled beverage glasses made in China of borosilicate glass.[4][5] 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.[6] Bodum entered into a partnership agreement with American coffee company Starbucks in November 2016 to sell their French presses.[7][8] In January 2019, the partnership agreement concluded.[9][10]
