I use a coffee press every day for my morning cuppa. I have killed at least 6 glass ones over the years either from dropping in the sink when my soapy, wet hands were slick or from tapping it over the trash to help get the used grounds out of the canister. When I spotted the GSI lexan press (33 oz.) in the camping department of my local mega-mart I thought "Why not?". I bought it and have used it every day for almost two years. from Amazon.com It is an art... I wonder if they either had too fine a ground or were just man-handling the unit when it failed on them? A course ground bean, even and steady pressure, and a thorough reading of the owner's manual in the event the unit "stops" moving mid-press is all that is needed to keep this GSI operational.

I have been using it almost everyday for the last 3 weeks with great results. Perhaps the problem is in quality from Amazon.com this is perfect for camping. from Amazon.com This coffee maker broke on the third use. The top that pushes down is very flimsy and a spoke broke making it unusable. Lucky for us we had another top from a different company that we had saved from Amazon.com The press mechanism broke in the 2nd week of a 3-week sailing vacation. It can't be fixed, so it's of no use any more. Before that, it made great coffee and appeared to be perfect for use on the from Amazon.com
