I"m not much of a coffee maker, but guests are, and they are VERY happy with , They have to make it themselves as I know nothing about coffee, but I keep supplies on hand, and they do the work. So far, everyone has loved this.

I've got multiple french presses like this one and other types. What I like is that its stainless steel, holds multiple cups, and holds the heat well. It's also perfectly easy to use.That being said, at nearly $80 bucks, I've gotten much better ones. In fact, my Home Hero French Press that's glass, wood and metal is like $25 bucks. It's much better quality than this one. This one has a lot of plastic, including the plastic handle that's made to look like wood but feels like a very cheaply made plastic. I thought for sure it would be wood considering the price point. It also doesn't have rubber on the bottom which isn't required but is a very nice touch that the much cheaper one has. It's both a softer landing and stays in place when you're pressing the french press.So, while this is nice, and worthy of 4 stars, I think it's way overpriced. They need to refine the design quite a lot to justify the price they're asking.

I've owned many French presses over the years, and this stainless steel one is just as nice as the more expensive brands I've tried. The design is sleek and durable, and it brews a nice cup of coffee every time. It keeps my coffee hot for longer, and I haven't noticed an issue with the heat on the outside. Have not had an issue with grounds in my cup either. I have absolutely no complaints.

I'm very happy with this French coffee press.It looks great, so I don't feel like I need to hide it away. I keep it out on my kitchen counter for easy access. The design is gradeful and the finish and crarftsmanship are excellent. The handle is plastic, but is almost indistinguishable from wood. Unlike wood, it will not discolor or crack as a result of exposure to moisture, and is very easy to rinse clean.The capacity is 4 large-sized mugs of coffee, or 6 mid-sized cups.It retains heat very well, so I don't feel rushed to finish my first cup.It resists scratching very well, and still looks new after several weeks of daily use.Very easy to handle. A pleasure to use.

Plastic on the plunger handle, inside of the lid, the filter itself and there was even some plastic smeared on the lid in manufacturing that I was able to scrape off with a fingernail. At first I thought the lid was chrome and the silver finish was already flaking but it was just plastic. The inside and out of the main body of the coffee press is all stainless. The lid is stainless on the outside but entirely plastic on the inside of the lid. If I can figure out a way to replace the plastic with stainless, I might use this. Part of the allure of French Press coffee for me is that same as with percolator (cowboy coffee)--no plastic chemical taste. Since this has a lot more plastic that my Bodum glass (smaller) French Press, unless I can pop that plastic insert out of the lid and unscrew the filter/screen at the bottom and replace with an all metal one, I won't be using this. The main body is very nice and heavy. I like the wood handle, though the jury is still out on whether that isn't plastic or compressed wood pulp. There seems to be a seam on the inside of the handle and there was a tiny piece of something that was poking out and scratched my finger when I picked it up. I was able to scrape that off. Maybe wood glue or something. If it's plastic or compressed wood pulp, it's very convincing fake wood. Overall, it's mirrored, beveled finish and wood handle make it very attractive. I took off 1 star for all of the plastic. My other Bodum has a stainless steel frame for the mesh filter and the silicone gasket on this one is replaced by the edge of the stainless mesh in my older Bodum. So this is not an improvement in my book. I suppose with the body of this being stainless steel and a mesh screen of stainless, they were concerned about scratches. I'd be o.k. with the silicone gasket if the frame was stainless. But the lid. Wow. That's a lot of plastic. It's not just around the edge either. The entire inside of the lid has this in it. It's fairly loose like I could pop the whole thing out and just use it without that. So that's what I'm going to try to do. By the time I'm done with replacing/getting rid of plastic parts, I think I'm really going to like it.Edit:In better light, the handle of this is definitely plastic of some sort. I'm really disappointed in Bodum. Too much plastic.

This is a high quality French press that works exactly as expected. I made 10 oz of coffee using a medium roast whole bean coffee that I put through my burr grinder on the 5 setting, which is a medium coarse grind. Be sure and avoid using a fine grind as that will clog the mesh filter and make it difficult to push the press. I heated the filtered water to 205 degrees Fahrenheit, poured it over two scoops of grounds, attached the lid, & let the coffee sit & brew for 4 minutes as recommended in the directions. I then slowly pushed the press down until it stopped, turned the lid to the open section and poured a nice, fresh cup of coffee. I did have some grounds in the cup, which is inevitable with a French press, but it was minimal. I’ll probably increase the coffee to water ratio slightly the next time for a more robust cup of coffee, and use a coarser grind to reduce the grounds in the final cup even further. I also will heat the water a little hotter because I prefer a hotter cup of coffee than is recommended by the SCA golden cup standard. I prefer this method over coffee pods for making a quick, single serving of coffee. I control the amount of coffee, it’s more economical, there’s no extra garbage, and it makes a better cup of coffee.
