French Press Coffee & Espresso Maker, 34-Ounce (8 4oz Cups), Chrome - 2 Extra filters included

I finally did it! I bought myself a coffee press. I looked around and priced them and they vary in price from $15 to $50; but they all do basically the same thing. So after much thought, this was the French Press I chose because of it's simple and elegant design and ease of operation.What I really like most about this French Press is that it's simplistic yet stylish design looks amazing in my kitchen. Also it is made out of stainless steel, even the plunger. The glass is made of heat-resistant glass. Also it is dishwasher safe and comes with an extra filter. It has a really nice handle that's easy to grip and the stainless steel & black color scheme goes very well with my kitchen décor.This French Press is so simple to operate. Simply place the coffee in the bottom of the glass canister and add almost boiling water to it, while gently mixing it. Then place the lid on making sure the plunger is up and let it steep or 3-5 minutes. After it has sufficiently steeped, slowly & carefully push down on the plunger. It makes 34 oz / 1 Liter of coffee which is 8 4oz cups that generally serves 2-3 people. Perfect for just me, my husband and my daughter.What's really nice about this French Press is that it's not limited to just coffee. You could also make a perfect pot of tea as well. I am extremely excited about my new French press and absolutely love the end product - fresh hot coffee (or tea). I think this was a great choice on my part and would absolutely recommend this brand/style French Press with high regards!

The price is phenomenal. the product is ok. My first one arrived with the glass shattered. My second one was in better condition. The base is strange, and isn't stable on anything less than a perfectly flat surface. Putting it on a shelf in the fridge (with a grated surface instead of flat) is a real gamble. I didn't realize it when purchasing, but if I were to purchase again, I'd find something that actually sat completely flat (rather than having three 'legs' holding it up).Also the glass started to look hazy after just one use. I washed it by hand, so I'm not sure what the problem was.I really wanted to like this product, but honestly, next time I'll just go with Bodum…

First off fast shipping. Great quality. I like the way the glass comes out of the handle stand thingy for washing, unlike my old one. The only thing that I would have wanted is, usually these presses have a little rubber ring around the top of the press to seal the heat/hot steam inside of the press, but this one does not have a rubber ring around it & I find my self while steeping, I am putting aluminum foil around the spout to keep the heat in while I steep my herbs, because the heat/steam is being released out of the spout & I want to instead keep the heat inside of the press & not release it, I can see it leaving & feel it coming out of the little pouring spout. Yes I am using this to steep herbs & teas & I do not drink coffee. I think I will look for a replacement plunger stick thingy here on amazon to replace the one in this product, but as far as the product, meaning the glass & hand stand, they are excellent. I took off one star for the rubber seal not being in the plunger thingy. *UPDATE 3-20-2016* (This thing broke/shattered in my dishwater & the water was not even hot, it was warm & just like my last glass press that broke also because it was also made out of cheap thin glass just like this one & that was most definitely my last glass press that I'm going to purchase. My next press will be solid stainless steel because the glass ones like this one are made of very cheap thin glass that breaks very easily & I have had enough of throwing my money down the drain, so I'm about to order a stainless steel press & I bet that won't shatter :) . Oh well it was good while it lasted for a little bit, but turned out to be a dud like the last glass press that I purchased. No More Glass Press For Me, Stainless Steel Press Here I Come! :)

The product is junk. The first one I received was shattered. Probably a shipping issue but you would think it would have better packaging for a fragile glass container. Thankfully amazon replaced it quickly and the new one wasnt. Luckily, I saved the plunger assembly from the original, otherwise my current one would have been useless a while ago. The first one, after probably 4-5 months, stopped being able to screw the filters onto the plunger handle assemble. I started using the second assembly until today, just over 6 months after buying it, while putting the glass into the stand, the bottom of the stand broke off. It is now completely useless. Luckily i bought this for only like $20, so it wans't a bit waste, but if you want a good french press, go with something else, this wont last you very long

Been using this for a week and surprisingly, cracks have started to develop at the bottom. Never dropped it or hit it against anything. Never used water that has just boiled. (would that even be a problem?) Would have been an excellent product otherwise, there simplicity and functionality is great for such a low price.

I am a frequent ice coffee drinker but wanted something simpler than making coffee in my traditional coffee maker the night before. I do cold brew in this french press, and paired with some great recipes it is a lot less acidic and easier on my teeth I would say. This item looks really nice and you can tell it is quality, especially for such a reasonable price. I've also put it in the dishwasher no problems at all, it comes with 2 extra filters which is convenient.
