fantastic!
i love this little thing! i agree with the other reviews that i read about the press making less coffee at one time than advertised so keep that in mind. i fill my 4 cup press 3/4 of the way full and it makes enough coffee to fit perfectly in my travel mug. if you're buying a french press for two get a bigger one! i haven't had any problems with the carafe breaking or grinds in me coffee.
Problem Solved...
Basically we have all found ourselves on a temporary work assignment where the "free" coffee is so bad you actually yearn for garbage like Starbucks. As I found myself thus, I was in need of a solution of monumental proportions. I already grind my own coffee as a matter of course. So it was a logical leap to try one of these out...
And DAMN was it worth it. The coffee out of a press is amazing. the essential oils are intact and it has a silky, velvety texture. the subtleties of the flavor are evident and all those tasting notes the guy at the coffee shop always describes...well they really do exist.

Nice Product
Overall. this was a nice coffee press.
It is well built, and produces exceptional coffee.
My only problem was the plunger was a bit crooked.
Other than that, it was a good buy.
Bodum coffee press excellent
I replaced a 12oz Bodum w/this size. The coffee doesn't splash out, the screen holds all the grounds. It's great for making an 8 or 12oz cup. The holder protects the glass on the bottom and sides and it's easy to wash.
Perfect coffee press!
I have had several presses, but this is the one I use daily. I had a "one cup" press, but it made enough coffee for a very small cup. This press makes enough coffee for a large coffee mug, which is exactly how much I want. The other thing I love about it is that the outer casing and lid are plastic, which means that they don't rust as the metal top ones do, nor does the bottom get hot enough to require a trivet on my counter. I love this press, and am pleased to see there are now so many different sizes available on Amazon!
