cheaper than competitors and seems to be well made and well insulated. keeps coffee hot for at least an hour.
This coffee press has been great so far. It's almost impossible to push the press down if the coffee isn't brewed yet, so that's how you know when it's ready. I had a glass press before, but I broke it, and I was always wishing the coffee would stay hot longer. This pot makes just the right amount - about 3 big cups - and keeps it pretty hot for 2-3 hours, just right for my mornings. (I was wondering how to tell, since with glass you know by looking at it). Great product.
I don't mind some fines in the bottom of the cup, but I am not into chunky coffee. I was tired of replacing glass beakers and cleaning up the mess.Makes good coffee, and of course, won't break with normal handling. I bought this press after my children broke my third glass coffee press. I still had the mesh filters from my two previous Bodum presses, so I adapted one of those to use with the new Thermos press. But right out of the box, the mesh filter would crease in a couple spots where it was supposed to seal against the inside of the container. This always let some of the grounds through when pressing. Problem solved. No more chunky coffee.
This is a wonderful coffee press. Most importantly, it makes great coffee. It's the perfect size for 1-2 coffee drinkers. It operates beautifully and cleans easily. I like the fact that it takes up so little space compared to a drip machine. I wish that I had found this years ago.
When I saw this I thought: "great an insulated non breakable press." BUT:The lip design catches the filter screen making it tricky getting it into and out of the press.The filter screen is "skimpy" (designed by an accountant) so that the coiled spring is too small, the screen is too small and too lightweight. This results in puckers that let the grounds go around the screen.This makes for a cup of coffee with surprises in the bottom. a pain. shoulda got a glass one.
