They're working on a glass-and-metal premium version. But it'll cost a premium price, though.

$40 is already a premium price for what it is. It makes great coffee, but at the end of the day it's a sturdy plastic plunger. Probably $4 landed.

It's made in US, so it should be not as cheap as Chinese stuff.

I know it is, but production is almost completely hands off for something like this and plastic is cheap as dirt. US production runs wouldn't be very expensive either. It's a painfully simple product. You get like 5 pieces of plastic in a small box. You can find things that look more complicated at the dollar store.
