   Nice quality, though made in China. I had homed for Italy or EU being and Italian company. Solid, comfortable grip. Goes through the dishwasher with no problem. The coffee is delicious. Other French press coffee makers I’ve had have been flimsy or the glass has been thin. I’m pleased with this model even with the higher price.

   La cafetera es pequeña pero el acero inoxidable que tiene la hace elegante y a la vez bastante útil. La recomiendo

   I love this product. Another amazing Bialetti product. Solid construction. I love how the carafe slides smoothly out of the frame for cleaning purposes. High quality glass. Mesh holes are nice and small. The plunger slides smoothly when plunged. No grinds come through the mesh. The same grind comes through the mesh on my Bodum French Press. I had to strain the coffee through a tea diffuser before drinking it.

   The carafe is sturdy enough to hold the proper temperature water, just beginning to boil. Makes the perfect cup of coffee every time. No matter what the blend. And so fun to use. Very easy to clean!!

   I have no need to look to any other French Press for my coffee maker collection. I admit. I am Italian and am proud to own Italian products. I have two Bialetti Moka Express stovetop espresso makers that I love, also. A 9-cup and a 3-cup.

   And it looks amazing on any counter.

   It’s really tough to find a large french press. After days of searching online, I decided on the Bialetti, partly because of the reviews and partly because I’m familiar enough with them, owning 2 other smaller presses, to note the essential features that I want. This one is sturdy and has a nice stainless steel base which I like because I have a magnetic stovetop that I set to warm after I brew my pot. It keeps the unit perfectly hot while I sip the first and get to my second mug! When we travel in our RV, I use an electric grill to warm it, turning the grated side to the flat skillet surface – set to warm. Many of the presses I found did not have the stainless bottom to accomplish this; they use a vinyl material that doesn’t keep the pot warm for the length of time I desire. I love this pot, it is perfect for two coffee lovers and I don’t have to clean dregs out of two pots anymore! Yeah! The only part that kept me from giving it a 5 star rating is the screen — I think it will need replacing sooner than my two smaller Cafetiere brands. When I turn the stem to clean, if I have tightened up a bit too much, it tears the sceen, so be careful when you tighten it periodically. Other than that, there’s not too many out there that can compete with this size press, functionally and economically.

   I spent weeks looking for this product to replace the one that my husband lost. It was the same coffee maker only he bought it when he was on a trip and it had a moral value. This may not have the same value but he was happy with it. It came safely, well packed, and exactly as described.

   Base y soporte de aluminio
   Tapa aluminio y plastico resistente al calor
   Vaso de cristal templado.
   Facil de limpiar
   Sencilla de usar.

   Medidas en el vaso para saber cuantas tazas puedes preparar (1 a 12)
   Advertencia!!
   Las medidas en descripcion son en onzas, por lo que el vaso e instructivo dicen que son 12 tazas la medida maxima pero en ralidad solo he podido preparar 5 tazas llenando al maximo nivel el vaso, asi que asumo que es medida Americana.
   Fuera de eso esta cafetera es excelente

   Product shipped within a day and the sterling steel is super nice!!! HOWEVER this product is advertised as being able to hold 3 cups of coffee. IT ABSOLUTELY CANNOT. YOU WILL BE LUCKY IF YOU CAN FIT ONE CUP. This is a SINGLE SERVE device. A large, decent quality French press is $20-$40, so the fact that I paid $40 for a SINGLE SERVE French Press is absolutely absurd to me. I will be sending this product back, it’s not worth the money.

   The french press hasn’t really changed much since Bruno Cassol’s 1935 patent — his major innovation was the helical spring around the filter. Pretty much the only difference from one french press to the next are aesthetics. Unless someone completely screws up the filter and plunger, the taste from one to the next should be no different (which is the beauty of the french press — everyone’s works exactly the same). That being said, most Bodum french presses have a functional feature that this Bialetti made press does not: a groove on the top at the back that ensures the opening on the lid is always aligned towards the spout. See my picture. Having used a french press to make coffee for many, many years, I’m not afraid to say that from time to time I forget to make sure the lid is properly aligned before I pour my coffee. Bodum’s top saves you from having to make sure you have it on right. This is a bit minor, but the Bodum beaker has a larger, better designed spout. See my picture. The Bialetti certainly looks handsome, but there are no shortage of french presses on the market, and given that they all make coffee exactly the same way, it looses points to Bodum’s better functionality.

   Love this little guy! It’s just enough for one 10 oz. mug of coffee or tea. It’s the smallest press I’ve seen, which I like because it takes up less space. If you need to do two American sized mugs, this will be too small. (When they say “3-cup”, they are referring to espresso sized shots). It’s such a beautiful, polished stainless design, I keep it right on the counter after rinsing. It’s like a work of kitchen art, compared to my old plastic Bodum which was bigger than I needed and bulky. The beaker is like one you will remember from chemistry class. It’s rather thin glass, so I’m careful to stir lightly when I put a spoon in, and when rinsing. It slides easily out of the holder when you turn it upside down to rinse, so be careful when doing so. I was a little nervous about pouring boiling water into it, but it’s fine! I’ve used it about 20 times and am so pleased I bought it.

    This is not a coffee maker for three cups of coffee, certainly not mugs and not even measuring “cups”. This may be for a demitasse cup but it should be labeled as such. Unfortunately I bought it as a gift and didn’t find out its limitations until it was in use and the packaging disposed of.

    This french press is very nice. I’ve used it daily since I purchased it. At first I was concerned because the plunger doesn’t hit the bottom of the carafe or glass but I’ve since learned that it doesn’t need to. It’s super easy to clean. The 8 cup press is larger than I need, I only make 6 cups instead of the 8 cup capacity. If I were to purchase again I might buy a smaller one but the large is good in case I have company.

    La base es de plástico suave, y si no se maneja correctamente, el recipiente puede estar expuesto a daños.

    Elle est belle, elle fait un très bon café (pourvu que la café moulu que vous y mettez soit bon, bien entendu)…
    Facile d’utilisation, il faut juste être soigneux avec elle. En effet, le corps est en verre et, même s’il est traité, il n’est pas à l’abri d’un choc, particulièrement dans l’évier, au moment du rinçage.
    Pour faire un plus petit nombre de tasses, achetez également une cafetière 3 tasses de la même marque, bien sûr ! Bialetti – 3180 – French Press – Cafetière Italienne à Piston en Inox – 3 Tasses
