Product Description
Classically styled French Press coffee maker features a heavy weight stainless steel frame with a beautiful chromed finish. Using a coffee press to make your coffee is widely regarded as the best way to preserve the rich flavor of your beans. It is efficient and easy to do as well. Just place the recommended amount of coarsely ground coffee in your press, cover with water just off the boil, gently stir to wet the grounds and let stand for 3-4 minutes after which you slowly press the grounds to the bottom of the press. The 3C. capacity refers to a 4-ounce serving - total capacity for this press is 12-ounce, perfect for a single serving of coffee. There are no plastic components in this piece to come into contact with your coffee either.

This is a great press. No plastic parts, heavy gauge metal - stainless components in the press.As for the size issue other reviews mention, the description of this item does mention that the sizes of this are European cup sizes and that this is a 12 ounce press. It's perfect for a single cup of coffee - which is perfect for me.Pleased with my purchase.

If you want to make coffee for one and you like your coffee to taste as it should, this is ideal. If you want to make coffee for two or you don't like coffee so much as you are in pursuit of caffeine by the most direct method and in the largest quantities possible, then look for other options. I also have the 8-cup press by the same maker, and it is good for company. But for one, I have found it lacking for two reasons 1.) The coffee gets cold in such a large container when you make, for example, only 3 cups and the glass container is left filled mostly with air, not steaming brew; 2.) For some reason, coffee in a French press tastes best when you make it in the amount for which the press was designed. Twelve ounces in the 8 cup press don't taste as right as twelve ounces in the twelve ounce press. I like this brand because it uses no plastic and the grinds do not become embedded in the press or find their way into the cup, as I have found with other brands' models. Even if I want 24 ounces of coffee (two full American mugs), I find I'm better off making one of these 12 ouncers, drinking it while it's hot and then making a second fresh, hot one. The temperature, natural sweetness of the coffee and strength are then all just right all over again. I am somebody who really likes coffee, and I can't stand the burnt, watery, disdainful effort put forth by your typical coffee maker, both commercial and home models.

I bought this little press because it has no plastic parts and I am trying to avoid using plastic in my kitchen. I debated whether to get something like this or a percolator. It is small, but will fill a 12 oz. mug with room for cream and sugar. It is also very easy to clean, and it's attractive. I've been using it every day for a few weeks and have been very pleased with it, despite the high price tag. This morning, however, I went to make my morning cuppa and noticed a big crack down the side. I was surprised since the product description claims it's made of tempered glass. I have been very careful to follow the instructions, which say to use hot, not boiling, water, and have always treated it very gingerly. I hate having to give this little press a low review, since I was in love with it up until this morning, and even considering ordering a larger one for company. But considering its short lifespan, I think it was a waste of money and I should have gone with the percolator.
