   OK, we LOVE this french press. It’s sturdy, with all metal parts (except the inside of the large top, which keeps heat in), including the long nut that holds the screen on its shaft, which in some coffee presses is plastic and has failed on me, leading to disastrous spills and insecurity when pressing the screen down. Not only is the assembly strong, it also presses down easily, the fine screen keeping coffee grounds out. I really don’t know why other presses can be so difficult to push down, but I have done nothing different with this one, which works like a dream — despite the fact that I grind my beans quite fine, more than instructed, in order to get every last drop of flavor out of them.
   We loved this press so much that my fiancee and I bought a second one as back up. I am a heat freak, requiring my coffee to start and stay very, very hot. This press has an extension of the plastic lining of the top that you can swivel to prevent heat loss through the spout area. The pot is easy to clean and the carafe does not slip out of its metal casing when unknowing friends try to make coffee on camping trips and pitch the carafe out with the grounds, shattering it on the rocks. That would not happen with this press!

   First one arrived damaged, coffeemakers.us.com immediately sent a new one while waiting for damaged one to return. We are very pleased with this French press. It makes enough for my hubby and I to have 2 (not quite full) cups of coffee. It’s easy to use and clean. It seems pretty solid, love the all the stainless steel and looks super sleek and modern on our counter top.
   In case you are wondering: yes, there is plastic underneath the stainless lid. I was trying to find one without any plastic at all (next to impossible) and I couldn’t tell from the pictures or feedback if it had any plastic. Well, at least now I can let other viewers know it does. Although it does have a neat little steal filter the coffee touches before it’s poured, which is also stainless. This will get rid of any extra coffee grounds.

   The first unit had a manufacturing defect, the nut that holds the lid in place (normally soldered) came loose. This means the filtering cap often separates from the outer dome. This reveals a design flaw, in that you can’t really secure the nut by hand because there’s nothing to hold on to. You can only tighten the nut as securely as you can grip the dome with your bare hands. The second unit had its paint chip off and fall into the main vessel. Be careful or you’ll end up drinking it!

   This is a very attractive press, however to clean you must unscrew all the layers of screen and metal at the bottom. The ‘blocking’ feature in my opinion is not needed. It makes cleanup a pain. I’d prefer to be able to spray out the grounds after each use instead of completely taking it apart.

   Absolutely perfect! I ordered the blue version and haven’t had an issue at all with peeling or colour wearing off so far. Makes about 2 1/2 mugs full (in my opinion, but maybe my mugs are large)

   Really pleased with this purchase. The items available in stores in my area were plain and boring. Love the colour and the quality seems really great so far!

   worked well for a few months. bottom rivet broke off after a handful of uses. dealt with it for a couple months, but now the glass has hairline fractures and had to throw it away. never saw the dishwasher… always hand-washed it. it was nice for a while, looks great, but won’t last.

   This replaces another French press from this company that I had for 15 years before it was broken accidentally by one of my kids. This one is a bit smaller, but does a great job at making coffee and keeping it warm for a couple hours.

    A little pricey but well worth it. Not to mention that it is beautiful.

    After living in Europe for nearly 12 years, I learned to enjoy stronger coffee. It has been several years since owning another French press & I was tired of the US coffee makers. I purchased my F.P. With the hopes of restoring my love for a perfect cup of coffee & I did!

    After studying & reading many reviews on which F.P. to buy, I cautiously settled on this one. After using it for several weeks, I’m sure I made the right choice!

    What does it offer? 1. A fair price 2. A quality product 3. Easy use 4. Dual screening system 5. NO plastic on coffee! 6. Easy cleaning (rinse every day for 4-5 days & fully clean on next use) 7. Aesthetically nice 8. Most importantly, a perfect cup of coffee!!!

    You won’t be disappointed!

    Enjoy!
