This is definitely the worst french press I've ever used. There are no handles, and the plastic gets too hot to hold, so you have to awkwardly pour by the top. The normal un-screwing of the top can also unscrew the bottom part of the plunger, which is then very hard to get out. from Amazon.com I got this mug at Target because I drink a lot of loose-leaf tea, I mostly was drawn to it for its double-walled construction. The seal for the 'plunger' strainer is not tight enough, and only the chunkiest/largest leaves will stay at the bottom from Amazon.com I bought this cup at a local high-end cookware store for $10 so I could avoid shipping. I have a Bodum French Press at home for use with fair-trade organic roasts. from Amazon.com Might look like a good deal but the design is flawed to the initial design concept. The outer portion of the French Press cracked in the first week! from Amazon.com Overall, this made great coffee and tea. I bought it to augment my glass Bodum french press and found it worked adequately well for a little over a year. I ran into problems over time however: from Amazon.com I bought one of these at my local Starbucks (same brand, same mug). It is the biggest piece of garbage. from Amazon.com I found the Bodum 16-ounce coffee press to be tolerable, but not as good as other coffee presses. The flimsy plastic seal around the strainer often allows coffee grounds to get past. from Amazon.com The included directions are clear and concise. Low price. Cons: The seal at the edge of the filter is just a silicone wiper seal (sort of like a squeegee), and does not seal with enough authority to keep all grounds from slipping past, though only a couple and with a little bit of practice, even less. The instructions suggest adding any cream and sugar through the opening in the lid, which is way to small for the task, at least without making a mess. from Amazon.com Given the reputation of the Bodum press, I am extremely dissapointed in this product. The press has a weak rubber gasket that does not seal well. from Amazon.com Dan from Rochester got it right with his commentary, so I'll add just a few points. The concept is ideal for camping and reduces the effort to make really good coffee. However, the bad points regarding the plunger not going down far enough; leaking lid; etc. are all right on. from Amazon.com
