4.0 out of 5 stars French Press Makes Superior Coffee, May 2, 2006

French Press will make superior cup of coffee compared to regular coffee makers. I ordered this when I was staying at a hotel because I couldn't stand how bad their coffee tasted. Using the same coffee ground, this press made impressive tasting coffee.
However, beware that the bottom part of this is made of rubber and is NOT attached to the glass part. Not that it's a problem, but I just don't like the idea of misplaced parts. Also, be careful with the mesh part, like the previous reviewer said - my previous french press had a small fold through which all coffee grounds passed through, making the coffee undrinkable.
When I plan to use it the next day or so, I usually just rinse the whole thing under running water, slightly unscrewing the filter to get the grounds in between parts out.
Overall, a great product at a cheap price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great small cup of coffee, January 30, 2006

This thing is so simple and easy. Don't waste your money on more expensive 3 cup (that's euro sizes - it equals about 10/12oz) french press. This one handles the job perfectly. It has two screens, which means no/less grinds in your cup. you have the normal press screen, plus a screen attached to the lid that acts as double protection when you pour. It's great. Not sure how you can break this sucker either (see other review). it's simple and uncomplicated. You really don't need to throw it in the dishwasher...in fact they don't recommend it. Here's what the instructions say about cleaning: "Although BonJour coffee and tea maker parts are top rack dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent." Nuff said. Just give it a good rise right after you're done pouring out your coffee and you're good to go. for the price, this thing can't be beat!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 Cups does not equal 3 measuring cups, July 14, 2006

It really equals 3 tea cups. I found the name of the product on Amazon completely misleading. No where on the packaging does it say "3-cup." As a prior review says, it is much smaller. This is enough coffee for one person (barely). I recommend the larger size.
