Coffee Press February 8, 2008
Having used the glass version for several years and suffering with warm second cups of coffee, I decided to opt for this thermal pot. It does a great job of keeping the coffee hot for the second cup. It will definitly not keep hot for ever, but for the 15 -20 minutes it takes to drink the first cup, it is still real hot! I and my wife are very happy with this product.

I LOVE PRESSED COFFEE I LOVE PRESSED COFFEE I---- January 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

AFTER DISCOVERING HOW AWESOME PRESSED COFFEE IS WITH THE SMALL UNBREAKABLE PRESS I BOUGHT,I STARTED LOOKING FOR A BIGGER PRESS AND ONE WITH A THERMAL CAPABILITY. I SAW THE REVIEWS OF THIS ONE AND DECIDED TO GET IT. THE POT ITSELF IS BEAUTIFULLY MADE, ALMOST A WORK OF ART IN STAINLESS STEEL AND I UNDERSTAND AFTER GETTING IT WHY ITS LIST PRICE IS SO EXPENSIVE. THAT SAID I HAVE TO TAKE AWAY THE PERFECT SCORE OF 5 STARS BASED ON THE WIMPY THIN TOPPED LID. AS OTHERS HAVE STATED BEFORE THERE IS ZERO INSULATION ON LID AND I AM SURE THAT WAS DUE TO COST CONCERNS BY THE MANUFACTURER. A LID THAT WAS BUILT LIKE THE POT ITSELF WOULD MAKE THIS A VERY EXPENSIVE COFFEE PRESS FOR SURE. I ALWAYS PUT A KITCHEN TOWEL ON TOP OF LID TO HELP KEEP THE HEAT IN AND THAT HELPS ALOT. I DOES MAKE AWESOME COFFEE AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE ISNT IT. I GUESS I STILL GIVE IT A 5 STAR RATING SINCE 4 1/2 ISNT AVAILABLE AND 4 SEEMS TOO HARSH A NUMBER FOR SUCH A BEAUTY.

snazzy little coffee press January 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have always enjoyed pressed coffee more than drip.
Having also owned a glass press (and broken many of them) this is a welcome product. I wanted something durable and yet pleasing to the eye. This press has both of those aspects.
The press holds a little over 32oz. of fluid with the grinds and everything in the pot. Serves a decent size cup of coffee for two people at most.
It also keeps the coffee warmer longer than a glass carafe but it is not meant to keep coffee hot long term.
Overall it was a great purchase and I don't have to worry about breaking my new toy.

Great Press January 27, 2008

You can't beat stainless steel! It not only makes pressed coffee like every other press but it also keeps it hot for quite some time. It is an eight cup so you will be finished with your first brew before the coffee gets old. Great product for the money.

Sleek New Look to the French Press January 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I truly think that the French Press is the way to go in terms of making & enjoying a fresh cup of coffee. I have owned several French Presses over the years, but they have all had a glass carafe to them verses a carafe made of stainless-steel.

I just received my Bodum French Press a week ago and have used it several times already. Bodum makes great French Presses and this one seems to be made well too. I like the stainless-steel look as it is really popular these days in terms of kitchen appliances. This French Press is sturdy and well made, without being heavy. I also like that the carafe isn't made of glass, so one doesn't have to worry about the carafe breaking.

The only concern I have regarding this carafe is that the base of the plunger, where the filter is attached, is made of plastic... I am concerned that perhaps this may not hold up well over time and need to be replaced. Only time will tell I suppose. If it hadn't been for this small detail, I'd have probably given this French Press a five star rating.
