(I only drink 1 cup a day and have a Bodum New Kenya 12oz one for that) but for making 4 servings of loose GREEN TEA which I put into 4 separate glass bottles and have for 4 days at a time.

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)!

They are fantastic for loose tea as well

I also use it a lot for brewing loose-leaf tea!

When I've had my two cups of hot tea - I put this press in the refrig and drink the remaining tea iced later in the day.

I really love it for making loose herbal tea.

Best tea making device ever

I use it for coffee, loose tea, and espresso

Brews some damn good coffee and thai tea, but it does leak from the bottom when it's not packed with coffee or tea leaves

Might even buy for my loose tea.

Put it the loose tea, steep, press and voila!

grounds.(Side note: my press pulls double duty to steep tea and works well.)

My green tea is never bitter when I make it with this press.

Works for both loose tea as well as coffee.

I poured hot water in, and when I came back thinking my tea would be ready, the tea was only half the amount it should have been

I bet it would also be great for loose tea.

I usually make 24oz of lose leaf tea daily and this makes it so I can make all 24oz at once

Sitting in your perfect tea or coffee boiling, hot water

But my primary use for this, the reason I decided to buy it, is for making a very strong tea mixture that I then carry to work in a Nalgene and mix with ice and water to drink it all day

I bought this second one for loose tea

No more making multiple cups with the little metal ball thing which doesn't strain tea very well

The size allows me to entertain guest with my fancy brewed coffee or tea

I love fresh tea and coffee/ these seem to bring out the best in both!

Bought this years ago to make loose leaf teas in

No problems here, everything fits together nicely, it strains out coffee and tea exactly as you might like

I use this to may my organic loose leaf Green Tea.

I use it mostly for making tea with loose tea leaves and then pour it from this into my teapot

the size is perfect! if you drink lots of loose leaf tea or coffee this will reduce your constant preparation time quite a bit

Use it primarily for loose leaf tea and occasionally for coffee when we have guests

I put tea or ground coffee in the bottom, fill it up with boiling water, let it sit about 6 minutes, push the plunger down, and the brew comes out delicious

Works great for making loose leaf tea or coffee

I have been using this with loose tea and it saves the wasted paper of teabags

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

It broke as I was putting the handle back over the rim, and did a little damage to me

Works as I knew it would

The coffee grounds only need to be coarse ground as to not clog the filter.

So I’m really confused as to why it is advertised as an 8 cup.
