I understand the concern about the French Press. They do seem fragile but haven’t had one break yet and it gets used the most. Years ago, before I was converted to the stove top espresso (by an Italian friend who 4 different ones of different sizes), I always used a French Press and don’t remember it breaking either. It’s possible to buy a French Press for under $10 on Amazon (or $7 at Ikea) but it seems like you have some limited options because of your location so that might not help
However, there are stainless steel french presses and they are really cool too! Maybe that’s an option?
If your listing is expensive, I think that over-doing it on the coffee options feels hint-of-luxury so could be worth it.
