cheaper than competitors and seems to be well made and well insulated. keeps coffee hot for at least an hour.
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. 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. Great product. This coffee press has been great so far. I had a glass press before, but I broke it, and I was always wishing the coffee would stay hot longer. (I was wondering how to tell, since with glass you know by looking at it).
Problem solved. No more chunky coffee. I don't mind some fines in the bottom of the cup, but I am not into chunky coffee. This always let some of the grounds through when pressing. 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. 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. 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.
Most importantly, it makes great coffee. It operates beautifully and cleans easily. I wish that I had found this years ago. This is a wonderful coffee press. It's the perfect size for 1-2 coffee drinkers. I like the fact that it takes up so little space compared to a drip machine.
This results in puckers that let the grounds go around the screen.This makes for a cup of coffee with surprises in the bottom. shoulda got a glass one. 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. a pain.
