• Elegant but no better than the $20 glass version
  I've used french presses for years. But this news junkie wants more than one cup in the morning and the second cup from a regular press is disappointingly lukewarm. (Nuking it destroys the flavor!) I thought this sleek-looking stainless version might do the trick instead of shifting coffee to a thermos right after making it in the glass press. The claim this press will keep coffee hot for 2 hours is simply preposterous, but I'd take even a half hour. This pretty little gizmo truly doesn't keep the coffee... more info

• Bad thremal properties
  This press does not keep the coffee warm for very long. The moment you pour hot contents into the press one can feel the outside of the press heat up.

This bodum kept my Christmas morning coffee at a drinkable temp for about 20 minutes. It's barely better than my other glass bodum. Don't buy if keeping coffee hot for any period time is important.

• Stainless stell press is wonderful
  We bought this rather pricey press because we had spent so much money on glass ones, only to replace the carafe two to three times a year.

• Beware. Made in China.
  We bought this coffee press expecting that it was made in France. Upon receipt we found that it is made in China.

We will return it and look for a non Chinese made product to replace it. Buyer beware.
