most common french press

[cmac2992]

I am planning on making a little accessory for a french press for fun/beer money. I have 2 questions.

1. I was wondering what the most common french press is (as my accessory will most likely only fit one type). A quick google reveals it would be a bodum product, but which one?

2. Would a food grade silicone have any affect on the taste? I have read a few people refusing to drink any coffee that has come in contact with plastic because of the taste. Would plastic be an issue or should I stick with stainless?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Definitely stainless steel. Also Bodum products are nice but I think they are bit pricy.....
