Don't even hesitate
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coffee press, and tha fact that it won't EVER require a replacement glass insert is the BEST.
The coffee is delicious and not bitter, which is why I purchased a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend.
The coffee stays hotter longer than a glass press would allow as it's insulated.
LOVE it...or did I mention that already?
Stainless Steel French Press
I've used glass french presses in the past, but the Stainless Steel French Press is by far a better product. It cost almost twice the price as glass, but I can tell this will be the last french press I'll ever need. The glass press is too fragile and broke after carful washing a few months later. The Stainless Steel French Press stays hotter longer and is more attractive. The glass french press looked like a chemistry beaker. The Stainless Steel French Press can set out on the counter and look great with any decor. Two thubms up!!
Fabulous!
What a treasure this coffee maker has turned out to be! I'll never go back to glass again. We make creole coffee, a slow-brew, long-steeped process and this coffee press does a most delicious job. The carafe is very well insulated, keeping the brew hot for a long time. It's also quite elegant to look at and makes an appropriate statement at any dinner table. Absolutely worth the price.
good so far
Nice solid construction. You expect and get good quality parts from a simple machine that does what it's intended to do, make coffee. Don't expect this thing to keep your coffee warm, though. Drink up and enjoy!
The greatest!
This coffee pot is great. It is beautifully designed and is easy to clean. Just add hot water to the press to warm it first...keeps coffee hot a while longer. Sorry I didn't buy a bigger one.
