Great looking french press that works perfectly. I was surprised at the size (thought it would look bigger), but it is 11.8oz or 350mL. The materials are seem good quality and I would not hesitate to order another one or to get some as gifts.

As far as function is concerned: the handle does not get hot (one of my concerns). The lid does get hot.

This item was a gift and the recipient was thrilled with the product. Coffee was great and clean up a breeze

My sister and I pooled in to buy a bunch of these for Christmas gifts, and they have been great. The size is great for one mug of coffee, and I love the little remove able base, throw it in the dishwasher when I'm done. The gifts will be huge hits I'm sure. It's a really nice press, and without the housing it's a cleaner and more modern design which looks great too. Great price too, will be back for more.

I recently bought a Grosche Lisbon (small) and a Rome (large) french presses.
I would say, from experience, that they are both 'nicer' than the Bodum products.
FOr one thing, the lids/covers have a flat top that allows them to be set down
so that they don't roll around.
The Lisbon is great for my morning coffee, and the Rome for when my wife eats breakfast
with me. The Rome is also great for making Ginger tea (about 1 to 1-1/2oz of grated
ginger rood in a Rome full of boiling water - let sit for about 20min. Add
1/4cup +/- of sugar and enough water to make about 1/2ga. Great!)

I decided it was time for a new coffeemaker, so I checked reviews on here. I wanted one not made with mostly plastic and also nothing made in China. Impossible to find... And all during the reading of reviews I kept seeing suggestions that a French press was the way to go. So, I tried this one as my first, and it is a little beauty. Never had homemade coffee taste so good! This thing makes exactly one mug of coffee, so there isn't any coffee sitting on a hot plate getting stale and bitter. If you want to make your own wonderful coffee, get you one of these and a burr grinder. I picked up this Kyocera Ceramic Coffee Grinder at the same time, also a wonderful product. How can you go wrong? Wonderful tasting coffee, no electricity required (I can enjoy my coffee even if the power goes out!), and both for under $50 total! Next I will be purchasing a larger press for when I have company.

Came back to add to this review: I realized that I was mostly commenting on using a french press in general and not so much info on this particular one. I have noticed that the glass beaker is pretty thin glass, you have to be extra careful with it. Also, if you do break it (I already broke mine when I accidentally knocked it off the counter), it doesn't appear that a replacement beaker is available, so I may have to purchase a whole press again. That said, I was impressed with the quality of the plunger/screen, nice build quality there and I have not seen one speck of grounds in my coffee.

I ordered this product to use as an individual tea press, and I could not be happier with its attractive, functional design. It looks charming on my kitchen counter, makes full-bodied brewed tea, and cleans up easily. I especially like the silicone grip base. It is perfect for individual use. A great value for less than $10!

My first french press and I'm hooked. It's easy to use and I only need one cup of the strong coffee that comes out of it.

The base, being rubber, sticks (forms a vacuum) to my counter or table. I also found that the coffee wasn't being filtered adequately, but my grinding may be to blame for that.
