However, I will say that the plastic surrounding the glass container does not look as elegant in real-life as it does in the photos. Works fine, no real complaints here. Just sayin'
New improvements are excellent. Have used Bodum coffee press for years. A coffee press brews the best you'll find.
I recommend this product for anyone who loves one large fresh cup of coffee to start the day. I purchased the coffee press because I wanted a single serving cup for myself, no filters to buy and dispose of and have a very fresh cup of coffee in minutes. I'm very happy with my coffee press.
In any case, I've never had any trouble with regular coffee grounds. The instructions say to use "coarse" ground coffee, but I've never seen pre-ground coffee labeled coarse. I definitely would not use this for something like Mediterranean coffee, which is the only finely ground coffee that I am aware of.A word of warning - this press makes one regular size cup of coffee only. As a "one cup a day" coffee drinker, I had been microwave brewing coffee grounds in those little single serving bags. The only down side to a press is having to dig out the used coffee grounds afterwards. Maybe that instruction assumes you buy whole bean coffee and grind it yourself.
If you drink more than one cup or use a larger than average mug, you'll want to go with one of the bigger presses instead.The bottom line is that this makes a great cup of coffee. This is a great little coffee press. Not a good idea, unless you like extremely weak coffee.I've been using this for several weeks now, and I've not had a single coffee ground get by the filter. When cleaning the filter I sometimes have to use a toothpick to scrape around the side, but that's no big deal.
I usually love lots of cream with my coffee, but this requires no cream for me since, once again, it tastes more like espresso and not regular coffee.It's easy to clean, but here's where a "little issue" comes in. It makes coffee that tastes more like espresso, so it's difficult to drink too much of it, which is why I can easily share it with another person. I am going to contact the manufacturer to see what can be done. I love the coffee made in my new french press. It's perfectly sized for my work coffee habit. The mesh filter has little thin wires sticking out and every time I was it (which is daily) I cut myself.
