nice concept, bad execution.i much prefer stainless steel (rather than glass), but the filter mesh assembly is not well designed on this model, unfortunately. the mesh doesn't wrap all the way around the spring that pushes it against the walls, so looks like there are some gaps where grinds can sneak through, resulting in more sediment in the cup.still usable, but wouldn't buy a new one if it goes.
This is my second Nissan insulated press pot. The last one lasted about 10 years and we had to get this one because the screw that holds the filter together fell out and was lost. The insulation is excellent and the pot makes excellent coffee. Highly recommended.
I have tried several other solutions I received as gifts and have returned to this. My expensive glass press also leaches a bit of the coffee grinds into the beverage. Some people have complained about sediment. At that point, you don't want the coffee sitting in with the grinds anyway.
It is a bit of a trade-off for the balanced smooth coffee. Bearing in mind that other stainless presses sell for $70, this one at $30 is great. In fact, I am drinking a cup of coffee right now I made in the press.People complaining about how hot it keeps the coffee are ridiculous folk. It even makes a great cup out of canned coffee for those days you are too lazy to fiddle with beans and a grinder.It is also incredibly durable. I have now used this unit for about a year.
It does a great job for about 1-1 1/2 hours and it is still drinkably hot after 2. Great for travel. Just increase grind size and also realize, this is a trait of French Presses to a degree. If you need to warm it up, throw it in the micro or pour it into the coffee maker you will no longer use and turn on the burner. It delivers day after day great coffee.
My old coffee maker has not returned. To filter sediment, if it really annoys you, pour it through a cheap coffee filter.I honestly find the coffee in this pot the most consistent and among the best coffee I have had.anywhere. And while it doesn't look as elegant as the $70 models, it looks great in our new stainless steel kitchen.
After yet another broken drip coffee pot (they never seem to last more than a year) I decided to go low-tech and get a coffee press. I'll never go back to drip coffee. This pot is of excellent quality and makes the best tasting coffee ever.
The Bodum has a much better quality filter). Easily fixed by replacing the new filter with the old one from the now defunct glass press.
I broke down and bought the cheapest non-breakable I could find. The thermos feature is a huge selling point.
After breaking my fourth Bodum glass coffee press, I decided that's it. The filter allowed more grounds and detritus through.
You can actually have a "warm-up" later as opposed to a lukewarm poor from the glass press. Only complaint is the FILTER.
(Look closely and you can see the difference in the filter weave. For the money, this is a great product.
