Reviews around size (4.75 of 5)

  • I feel like it would be unfair to judge this press because I think I may have chosen the wrong item or the wrong size for my needs
  • It is the perfect size because I'm the only coffee drinker in my home
  • I paid around $16 for this amazing product, and was having a hard time deciding which size
  • this is the perfect size for my two cups of coffee in the morning.
  • i only had it for an hour or two because the size is misleading- when they say 3 cup, they dont mean baking reference cups because this wouldnt accept 2 fluid cups of water

Reviews around cup (4.73 of 5)

Reviews around steel (4.66 of 5)

  • For $11 more buy the stainless steel Kuissential French press
  • I decided to get a stainless steel covered one for my next press.
  • I will replace my press with an all stainless steel unit.
  • The main flaw (fragile glass vessel rather than durable steel) is my fault, I should have spent a few dollars more.
  • Replaced a fancy stainless steel "insulated" press that I just didn't like

Reviews around quality (4.47 of 5)

  • Quality of product seems good, easy to use, easy to clean
  • It broke as I was putting the handle back over the rim, and did a little damage to me
  • It was good quality and it was just what I was looking for.
  • Only enough for a few cups of coffee, but works well.. good quality.
  • I am used to large mugs of Brown Gold, so this size disappoints as to quantity filling only 75% of one 12 oz mug, which may be OK for you if you add creamer or milk, but I have been taking mine black for nearly a year now

Reviews around product (4.32 of 5)

  • The lid is flimsier than previous versions by Bodum, because it's a simpler design, but still a great product
  • I did a lot of research because I didn't want to get a bad product on my first french press purchase then give up on french press before I had even started.
  • This product has one design flaw which makes it annoying
  • I have read very few reviews of people having this issue, so for the $ this is not a bad product, it made it 5 years before completely giving out
  • Great Product, We have a smaller size but needed a bigger size.

Reviews around thing (3.95 of 5)

  • The only thing good about this is that it is small and affordable
  • Good thing i still have the Aeropress (BPO free plastic)
  • Love everything but the one and only thing I would change is the size
  • The worst thing was that the glass container component is made of such thin glass that it will break if you tap it the wrong way
  • The Ability to CountStep 1: Measure out 60g of your favorite coffee beans and grind to a coarse grind (about 60-70 turns with the Morning Grind Grinder on coarse setting)

Reviews around taste (3.76 of 5)

  • I thought I would just get a stronger, less bitter coffee taste.
  • The plastic lid however makes the coffee taste like chemicals, purchase one with a metal lid to save yourself some nasty tasting experience
  • Easy to use, and by far produces the best tasting cup of coffee
  • It is very easy to clean (hand wash only) and the coffee taste much better than when I had a keurig

Reviews around water (3.57 of 5)

  • Pour some hot water into the french press and slosh around to warm up the french press
  • Just fill it half way up with coffee grounds and the rest of the way with cold water, stir
  • The glass on these is so thin, they eventually crack when hot water is poured in.
  • Put grounds in it with cold water and let it sit overnight
  • I already had the coffee grounds in it and was about to pour hot water into it and accidentally knocked it over

Reviews around review (2.11 of 5)

  • If you don't want to start your morning swearing, while wishing you had heeded the warnings of the negative reviews, don't buy this press!As others have stated (and sadly I ignored), the handle design wasn't thought through

Reviews around glass (2.09 of 5)

  • It seems like the glass should separate from the plastic for clean
  • The glass is very brittle, and it just shattered one day
  • It also looks good; I like the bright red plastic and glass
  • Then out of nowhere, when I picked it up to pour a cup of coffee, the glass just broke
  • I broke the glass on the Mr. Coffee and saved the rest of the "parts".Glad I did

Reviews around handle (1.95 of 5)

  • but the handle was sturdier than I'd expected it to be.
  • It does have thin walls and the handle jiggled a bit, but I loved it while I had it
  • this handle is supported on the bottom as well as the top.
  • this handle is supported on the bottom as well as the top.

Reviews around tea (1.77 of 5)

  • Use it primarily for loose leaf tea and occasionally for coffee when we have guests
  • Bodum makes excellent French Presses, I wish I had purchased two of these (one for my loose leaf tea and the other for my coffee)!
  • the size is perfect! if you drink lots of loose leaf tea or coffee this will reduce your constant preparation time quite a bit
  • I usually make 24oz of lose leaf tea daily and this makes it so I can make all 24oz at once

Reviews around beaker (1.67 of 5)

  • Not only was the beaker extremely difficult to remove from the plastic base, but the handle snapped right in half when I attempted to reassemble it
  • I also found that when I lifted the pot to pour the coffee the shape of the handle caused me to grip it in a way that fingers repreatedly came in contact with the scalding hot beaker
  • In about a dozen disassembly/assembly cleaning, the beaker broke.
  • I've absentmindedly broken the glass beaker twice during those 5 years (my fault), but it's glass, so, come on, it happens
  • I needed a new french press as I broke my old Bodum Chambord beaker

Reviews around design flaw (1.39 of 5)

  • I made the mistake of ordering a French press with a design flaw and can't afford to constantly buy new
  • Sometimes I get frustrated with this design flaw and put every ounce of strength I have on it and coffee goes flying out of the top
  • The black plastic piece that the rod fits through and which holds the assembly in place, is stripped (this seems to be a major design flaw... not sure how a plastic piece is supposed to stand up to continued high temps - I mean, even car seats expire these days for that reason).
  • Works as I knew it would
  • This product has one design flaw which makes it annoying

Reviews around coffee grind (1.26 of 5)

  • I love the metal mesh filter - it's easy to clean and seems to push down the coffee grinds even better than the rubber style Bodum plunger on our other french press.
  • Worked for fine for about 2 weeks, then it slowly started letting coffee grinds pass through the filter.
  • A few coffee grinds always sneak through the filter but that's problebly my fault for not buying the right grind size.
  • so I can make my coffee as strong as I like it
  • It's a great French press - easy to clean, easy to use, the filter doesnt get stuck with the coffee grinds and it pushes down easily

Reviews around coffee snob (1.00 of 5)

  • I'm not a coffee snob, but I am picky enough that I prefer French press over drip coffee or -shudder- Keurig
  • I'm a coffee snob and just can't drink the coffee provided at work
  • We're both coffee snobs, and the french press is perfect at making great coffee
  • I'm a bit of a coffee snob and this makes excellent coffee
  • If you are a coffee snob and grind your own, you should be fine
