This press is about as good as it gets----keeps coffee hot for 2+ hours---an idiot can use it with no problems---been drinking cowboy coffee and espresso all my life---never realized the bitter taste of boiled coffee until I used this press the first time---I assume the plastic parts will work for a decent length of time---and---can be replaced easily and reasonably priced---buying four more for friends---
This press is excellent quality but I expected more than two cups (mugs) of coffee with each press. Combine this with a good coffee grinder and you are steps above instant coffee. I'm happy with the purchase and recommend it for any serious coffee drinker.
I wash my cup and filter in a dishwasher regularly with no problems. The only difficulty that I ran into is disposing the grains. I bought my French press mug about two years ago when the price of a 12 oz cup of coffee in the office went up to 45 cents. I've used coffee ground for drip paper filters in the mug, and it works fine.
Now I brew my own coffee at work, and get better coffee for a lower price. I work in a cubicle in an office building and drink a lot of coffee. The quality of the coffee is excellent. The plunger, filter, handle, etc. We have a sink with a garbage disposal at work, and I found some sites on the web that said coffee grains are good for garbage disposals.
French press coffee allows some tiny grains through the filter which give the coffee more texture. are all still in good condition. They had a hot water dispenser which cost nothing. I prefer to grind my own beans and it turns out coarser. I dump the grainy slurry at the bottom of the cup into the trash, and wash the rest of the grains into the garbage disposal.
So far no problems there. The mug keeps the coffee warm for over three hours, which is much better than I expected.After about 2 years of drinking coffee from this mug I can also say the quality is good. If this ever wears out, I'll definitely get another.
I am going to school to be an herbalist and I love this mug for brewing loose herbs overnight.the double screen allows for no plant particles to be swallowed. I have owned one of these mugs for couple of years and I love it. I plan on buying a 2nd and maybe even a 3rd one. It is also nice that it's stainless steel and not a leaching material like aluminum or plastic. I give it an A+
I LOVE this set up. My friends and I do a ton of canoe/camping trips. Even in 20* weather the cup keeps the coffee and me warm. For years we have used a percolator to create that early morning motivational cup of coffee. On of the smarter of us found this french press system, and not only does it make a better cup of coffee it cuts down on the amount of gear you have to carry (space in a canoe for a week long trip is at a premium). Would highly recommend this to the outdoors person as well as someone looking for a way to brew a single cup of coffee/tea at home. GREAT product.
