From what I can tell, the bags are really well-made and robust

Feuerwear makes a series of bags and backpacks out of old firehose. I got one of their laptop bags since last year and I absolutely love it! They also offer a repair service and give a 3-year warranty on their products.

As far as I can tell from their website, some steps of the production are done in Germany and some (mostly sewing) is done in Serbia.

Referreral code warning
I got a code that gives a 10€ reduction for new customers (and gives me the same if it's used). I'm not sure if the code can be used repeatedly, so no guarantee that it works.

I frankly didn't realize that it was a difference between US and UK English.

Malongo Just sells cafetières from Bodum, which in turn has at least one factory in China (and the models sold are made of glass), and Grunwerg produces "overseas" according to their website.

I don't want to be rude, but have you read what I wrote? As I said, Stelton is so far the only brand I could find that has a stainless steel french press made in Europe.

 

As the title said, I'm looking for a stainless steel french press. So far the only producer that actually makes them in Europe seems to be Stelton (Denmark). Bodum looked good, but they do have a factory in China and don't clearly disclose in the webshop where the specific product is made. Additionally Amazon lists the Bodum Columbia as "Made in China". Scanpan is another European brand, but the TOGO line is made in China unfortunately.

So I'd be happy to get any pointers for brands to look at.

Edit: The options so far are

  • Stelton EM77, stainless steel cylinder, 80€, made in Denmark
  • Bodum Douro, stainless steel cylinder, 170€, made in Portugal

All other options (WMF, other Bodum models, Bialetti, Paderno) seem to be produced in China or the US.

I didn't expect it to be this difficult to find viable options.
