High quality, sturdy stainless steel, works great
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. Iâll 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, itâs more economical, thereâs no extra garbage, and it makes a better cup of coffee.

A lot more plastic than I anticipated.
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.

Nice French press
First off, this French press is beautiful, and well made. I’ve never used a French press before so I made sure to read the directions. It said to use coarsely ground beans, and 4 ounces of water to a rounded tablespoon of grounds. I thought that was a lot of grounds for 4 ounces of water, and I was right. I knew it would be strong by the appearance of the coffee as I poured. However, this is a French press after all and the French tend to like their coffee strong. I did set a timer for it to steep for 4 minutes. I’ll have to tweak the coffee to water ratio to make the perfect cup for me. But a good cup of coffee is subjective, so others might like the 4 ounces to a rounded tablespoon of grounds. Anyway, I do recommend this press based on the quality.

Stylish french press
I had a Bodum glass French press a while ago and it broke, so having this stainless steel option is excellent. It is beautiful, stylish and it looks great when you are serving coffee, either for yourself, your family or guests. The only drawback is that you cannot see how much coffee is in, but it’s not a deal breaker.Make sure to use coarse-grind coffee.It is so easy to use and way better than those typical coffee makers with the big carafe and the paper filters. You just need to heat some water, mix it with your favorite coffee, wait 4 minutes and push it down. That’s it!I like everything I have bought from this brand, their glasses, their coffee cups.
