Great coffee, but mine didn't last
This makes great coffee. However, after less than 6 months of less than once per day use the plastic screen holder on the bottom of the plunger is falling apart.
Great little coffee press
This press is perfect for one person. I love the unbreakable aspect, and the price is hard to beat.
I'll Never Break A French Press Again!
How many of the people reading this have broken a French Press? I've certainly broken at least 4 or 5, and the cost adds up quickly at $20 a pop.
Being a grower of coffee (Kona) and a coffee purist, I was VERY skeptical of plastic. I ran some medium roast through the little device and was impressed by the taste of my coffee. It must be high-density plastic or something that doesn't taint the flavor. Delish!
I'd recommend this gadget to anyone who travels, breaks French Presses, or drinks any coffee or tea. Basically everyone.
Not worth it
I wish I had known what they meant by three cups, because it certainly did not hold three 8 oz. cups of coffee. In fact it wouldn't even fill the 12oz. mug that I use for my breakfast cup of coffee.
Cold Coffee and NOT a 3 Cup French Press
Whomever said that this should be considered a "3 cup" French Press must have been living in a different time and space dimension because this most certainly did not put forth more than 1 cup of coffee!
I am a faithful Bodum French Press consumer who is used to glass French Presses. The plastic of this Hugo model might be "unbreakable," but it also allows the coffee to get cold more quickly. It has helped that I have wrapped the press with a tea towel, however, this is a tedious thing to do every time.
I am not happy with this purchase and would not recommend this to staunch coffee afficiandos.
