There is a reason its cheap
The plunger coffee filter does not fit the cylinder well.. First cup was a mouth full of grinds. Luckily I saved a plunger filter form an old French press that shattered and it works great now.

Wildly incorrect description
I’ve been looking for a larger sized French press for a very long time and was delighted to find this one, which is listed as 64 oz. I thought it was to good to be true, because that would be quite a large size! And it is too good to be because the information in the product description is wildly incorrect. The item is actually a 32 oz. So someone or something took the “8 cup” description and multiplied that by the standard 8 oz cup and came up with 64 oz…which this is not. If this product makes 8 “cups” of coffee, then those would 4 oz cups. It would be nice if both the manufacturer AND Amazon provided accurate and standard information about their items. Returning.

Decent lightweight (plastic) cafetière
I travel quite a bit for work, and always pack a small stainless steel French press so that I can make coffee wherever I am on my travels. That French press has the benefit of being unbreakable, but is still pretty heavy (and also, like I said, small). This new OXO cafetière is almost entirely made of plastic (albeit “Tritan Renew” plastic, in the case of the carafe itself), making it very lightweight, in addition to being fairly resistant to breakage, and a whole lot bigger than the one I usually travel with.While I’m on the subject of it being quite big (compared with my mini travel cafetière, anyway), I’m not sure where OXO is getting the “8 cup” claim, given that the carafe of this French press is incapable of holding that much liquid, period, even if you ignore the maximum fill level and the space needed for the ground coffee. Even if you fill it all the way to the brim, it can’t even hold six cups of water, let alone eight. That’s assuming the US measurement of 8 fl oz per cup. If you fill it to the max fill level, it can hold 40 fl oz (so, five cups), but if you’re actually making coffee vs. standing in your kitchen repeatedly filling the thing trying to work out how on earth OXO got the idea you can make eight cups of coffee in it, then you’re going to need to allow room for the coffee grounds, too.tl;dr – you can realistically expect to be able to make 2-3 standard-sized (OK, let’s say ~12 oz) mugs of coffee in this French press. Not eight cups.Carrying on. The filter (which is apparently made of stainless steel, according to the product info, but which is so fine that it almost feels more like some sort of membrane) is very fine and, thanks to said fineness and a silicone ring around its edge, hasn’t allowed any grounds through into my coffee thus far, which is a huge improvement vs. my current travel French press, and honestly, an improvement on most I’ve tried before now. The plunger goes all the way to the bottom of the carafe, unlike some French presses I’ve used, so you don’t get the annoying un-pressable reservoir of coffee that continues to over-brew even after you’ve pushed the plunger down. That’s a plus. There’s also a filter of sorts on the part of the lid that goes over the pouring spout, which would catch any large grounds that had somehow managed to escape the plunger, but presumably also allows air to escape and helps with smoother plunging.The whole thing is very easy to clean; it’s dishwasher-safe, and the filter (thanks in part to being only one single, very fine layer) has so far not needed disassembly to get out any stubborn coffee grounds that have got stuck in it. The carafe comes out of the black frame easily (in fact, lifting the plunger causes it to lift out; something to be aware of, but it hasn’t been a problem for me, because it’s easy enough to push it back down again) which is useful for giving it a thorough clean.Overall, I’m pretty pleased with it. I wouldn’t ordinarily opt for a French press made of plastic (in fact, it would never have occurred to me to do so before now), but this one will be a great addition to my traveling arsenal, in place of the smaller, heavier, stainless steel one.

Another great OXO product
I love that it is NOT glass. It is very easy to use and clean. My clumsy wife shattered our previous glass French press. I have no worries this can withstand anything my wife throws at it.

Poor Filtration
This Oxo coffee press is made of cheap feeling plastic. The filter forms a poor seal with the sidewall and grounds easily pass through into the main chamber after pressing. This results in very gritty coffee. I absolutely do not recommend it!

Chewy Coffee!
I’m using ground coffee instead of grinding my own, perhaps I need to use a coarser grind because when I push the plunger down, the coffee and grounds all come around the seal instead of through the screen. Makes for a chewy cup of coffee!

It leaks grinds
I like oxo but this one isnât it. I donât want grinds in my coffee, it doesnât filter perfect with the plastic edges just as I thought. Couldnât recommend because of that alone

Works well, but have to be a little more careful with this one
OXO in general has excellent quality kitchenware and they also have a pretty nice warranty that I’ve used before on a spatula. As a company, they are top-notch with customer service.That’s why I picked this french press to try it out. And even better, I compared it to an old Bodrum (another high quality glass kitchenware maker) french press that I use regularly (about every other day). To note, the Bodrum’s filter does pop up every once awhile and I have to put it back down. I have not used the OXO enough to see it if does the same thing, but for now it is very secure.The good points, it came intact in the mail. It has a decent size capacity, about 3 full mugs of coffee in one go. The all glass container is easy to clean and you don’t have to worry about plastic leaching as much. The silicone seal works will on the stopper, though the stopper top is rather flat. This might be good for storage?, but is not as easy as my Bodrum ball top to use. It’s a minimal difference I think unless you have difficulty grasping things. Then the ball top would be a big deal. The filter works well. It has to be porous enough to let water through, but keep the grinds down when you pour. I usually get a nice layer of coffee sludge with the Bodrum, and I got the same with the OXO one too. It’s not unexpected, and I usually pour milk afterwards and take advantage of the leftover sludge as extra flavoring.The glass carafe on the OXO is definitely thinner than the Bodrum though. It actually flexes a little if you take it out of the black plastic cage. I recommend keeping it in there permanently. Also, rather than flare out at the base, the plastic bottom of the OXO goes in. I thought it was not the best design as if the OXO were more on the empty side and hence lighter, a flared bottom would give me a little more confidence that it would not accidentally tip over.Overall, the OXO is a nice french press, and it’s a good choice. The Bodrum is still better, except mine is old and the filter can be slightly inconvenient now.
