Careful, occasional use and mine fell apart in the same way it did in the customer photo. I am buying a different press to replace it.
Even f you don't drop them, the glass can get chipped or cracked and then they are no good. Excellent for travel to a hotel or somewhere where they have those nasty old coffee makers and nasty coffee., Excellent for our RV and camping., this saved us SO much money when we at Disneyland for 10 days, because we didn't go to the overpriced coffee shop and spend $10-$15 bucks. I love that it's not glass because I have the "guts" to three other presses that have broken. The plastic is very hard and clear and looks/acts like glass. I love a French press., so much easier and less clean up then a coffee maker. grind). recommend and buy as a gift for others. Would def.
(I'm a decaf. Then, there is also a screen on the pouring spout just in case a grain was left in your water. I've had several, this is the best one. Plus it's easy to bring your own grind and a non-breakable press so you're getting your favorite coffee. The screen filter on the press is very fine and fits to the walls very well so no coffee grinds get through (which is my biggest complaint about most French presses). The lid fits well., the handle, base, and top are durable, and it's very attractive. drinker and it's so hard to find a good decaf. Good buy for sure.
I've had a few problems with this one:1. I had to keep fishing out grounds from my cup.2. There are 3 larger cut-outs in the screen, so if the screen rotates wrongly (as it will, when the bolt loosens), coffee gets through the screen. I guess a courser ground than supermarket coffee that is pre-ground would work better. The bolt in the plunger loosens.3. My bottom disk on the plunger broke apart after 9 months of repeated (almost daily) use.
I suggest a good strong roast to get the full benefit of this brewing style. I'm glad I opted for the 8 cup - it's certainly not a big unit. Just enough for one or two people. I've been putting a few dashes of cinnamon in with the grounds - yum. It doesn't stay hot forever, but a quick nuke is great if I'm the only one drinking the whole pot.
I have owned a metal coffee press for at least 10 years and it still works. I have owned this for a week, and sure enough, the plunger broke. It wouldn't screw into the screen, like it was stripped. I have been looking for a metal press and haven't found one so I bought this knowing I would break a glass press. Well, I'm still looking.
