Customer Rating:
Summary: nice design.
Comment: I loved the simplistic appeal, but I can't figure out the creamer. The cover keeps falling into into the milk.

Summary: Beautiful solution to a problem with French press coffee
Comment: French press coffee is known for its full, rich flavor. One drawback is that in order to get this fullness, the coffee needs to steep a few minutes, (Bodum recommends 4) and in that time, in a typical uninsulated French press, the coffee cools down a bit. Bodum has solved this problem by creating a thermos that looks like a fine piece of stainless table ware. I was so impressed when I first encountered one of these at a cafe, that I immediately looked for one to buy. I've been using it at home for a couple months now and will never go back to drip coffee, as this extracts way more flavor from the beans. If you like great big mugs of coffee, you should get the larger size, though. This is perfect for an 8-oz. cup; 12 oz might be the volume of the chamber, but if you stop an inch short of the spout as recommended, and once you consider the volume of coffee and plunger, you get about 8 oz. per brew.

Summary: Elegant but Sturdy French Press
Comment: I bought this french press for work and it's the perfect size for one cup of coffee. It's sturdy and is made well. I have broken a lot of glass French presses so this perfect for those of you who are a bit rougher on your press pots.

Summary: Lovely
Comment: I love my new French Press. It definitely is worth the price - the stainless steel holds up so much better than any other design I have ever owned. It certainly keeps my coffee warm longer than other models, but not quite as long as some would want.

Summary: I like it
Comment: I ordered this set because it matches my other stainless steel countertop items: salt and pepper shakers, toaster, coffee pot. I also like the magnetic tops on them, as I feel that it keeps the products clean. I use the pitcher for powder creamer, and a spoon fits in the pour spout, while the lid still stays on. I thought it looked small when I got it, but found out it holds as much as my other sugar bowl and creamer. I had looked at many stores to find something like this, without success, and was delighted to find it on Amazon.
