Disappointment Item arrived with a bolt missing absolutely unusable very dissapointed with AMAZON. This was a Christmas present an embaressment for me and the gift giver it was chosen for me from my wish list. Not sure I would do that again.
Not that good It does it's job but the filter provided isn't that great even with coarse grinds from a burr grinder it often tastes like there is silt in the coffee. I don't recommend it.
Terribly fragile cheaply made product! I realized this French press was cheaply made when I first opened the box the carafe was wedged into a poorlyfitting metal base and when the two came apart I saw that the base was even thinner than the walls of an average aluminum soda can.The lid is too large to fit into the top of the carafe before I even had a chance to use it I wiggled the lid into place and left it on my desk for an hour or so when I came back the carafe had shattered from the pressure of the lid. I didn't even get to use it *once*.This product is horribly designed cheaply made and too fragile to be safe for use what if it had been full of boiling water when the lid busted the carafe open?. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $6 on a decent quality French press and leave this madeinChina POS right where it sits.
This is a GREAT buy!!! Really good Coffee!!! The price vs the product is completely fair. You are getting a great deal! Now the glass beaker is a bit thin however almost every french press I've ever seen that is under $20 has the same issue. These beakers are inexpensive to replace. This however is very easy to overcome with gentle washing and careful putaway. I found that the amount of coffee you have to use is a bit surprising to get the full effect of a french press but I watched an instructional video to make sure I got the right coarseness and amount. Overall I found this item to be simple to use and really awesome for the price. I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever and I am satisfied.
Star ratings are inadequte here. You may or may not like this coffee press The filter on this press press is not fine enough to keep the smallest pieces of coffee grind out of the coffee. To use this press you should not grind your coffee very fine. If you must brew from a finely ground coffee then avoid this product and stick to brewers which use paper coffee filters.If you are still reading then you may be in luck or not depending on your preferences. There are two kinds of coffee drinkers those who like it piping hot and those who like it warm.If you are in the first group like I am you should not buy this coffee press. It is made out of thin cheap glass and it can easily crack if you pour boiling water in it. To their credit the manufacturer warns you about it and they suggest that you prepare the press with warm water for a few minutes. After that you throw away the warm water and then make your hot coffee. This is inconvenient at best and it also wastes energy by throwing away warmed up water. Well you get what you paid for this press costs less than $10.If on the other hand you prefer your coffee warm not very hot this is a great little product for you and it is great value for your money.So I split the difference between two stars and four stars and give it three stars on average. But you should either downgrade or upgrade the rating according to how hot you drink your coffee.
Ordered but never received!
Great seller The product got here on time was exactly as it was described in the description. Reliable seller would definitely recommend.
Not good I suppose you get what you pay for. The filter on this is so flimsy that I get a ton of grounds in my coffee I am really dissatisfied.
piece of junk Even though this is inexpensive it is poorly made and still not worth the money. If you are reading this before you buy do yourself a favor and look for another french press. This one does not filter well and handle and press are extremely loose.
5 Stars As Usual Got this thing in the mail today and my wife absolutely loves it. It may not be the most sturdy or durable thing but if you know how to take care of your stuff it works great and we are happy to have saved the money. It was delivered on the 6th day after I ordered it too so I can't say anything bad about it at all.
