I saw a review where this was compared unfavorably to a high-end German press. Well, duh. Not fair to compare it to something that cost 10 times more. For $13, I love it. Hot water to 1 inch of top, creamer, sweetener, coffee - put top on. Let it brew 3-5 minutes, and push the knob down slowly. You will get less fines if you give it time to filter as you press it, but there will still be some. They settle so the last bit will have all the fines in it. Want it stronger, let it brew longer, though it will continue to get stronger as you drink even with the grounds pressed down. It keeps the coffee hot a long time, so if you savor your brew, it gets more robust. Yes, the knob will touch your nose as you drink, I don't see how to avoid that, but it's not annoying to me. Easy to clean, swish it out with water and soap it every few uses to get rid of oils. My hubby went to hot tea, so the coffee pot always has hot water in it. I just use some of his hot tea water to make myself coffee. It works just as well for hot tea, better even since loose tea is not as fine so you have less dregs getting through the filter. I use it in the office, but it would be well worth getting one for travel or camping if you are particular about your java.Read full review

This product is a great idea, in theory, but in practice, not so much. Mine allowed grounds to get past the screen, resulting in a gritty experience. If you take your coffee black, you're all good, but if you want to add a sweetener, you have to stir around the plunger post. A bit awkward. It does come with a spare lid with a close-able mouth vent. Nice, right?! Only, in order to use it, you must first remove the original lid which is ATTACHED TO THE PLUNGER. Once you do that, there is nothing to prevent all of the grounds from mixing with the coffee. Yummy! If there is some way around this, there are no instructions included to explain how. The double-walled travel mug does keep the coffee piping hot. I waited a good 10 minutes before taking my first sip, and immediately burned my mouth. As for the $35.95 MSRP prominently displayed on the box? Anyone willing to pay $36 bucks for this clunker could probably be convinced to invest in beach front property in Death Valley.Read full review

I bought this because of the value and all in all I am happy with it. When it first comes and before your first cup use your fingers and bend any little areas of wire flat around the plunger, mine arrived with around 4-5 little areas where the wire wasn't completely flush with the cup creating a way in for the grounds. The first few cups had a lot of grounds but once I figured out that if you just carefully squeeze the wire pockets together ( with 2 fingers) before you push your coffee or tea down it will eliminate a lot of grounds and make better coffee. After 3 or 4 days I had little to no grounds, I loved the cup itself and will be hanging onto it. Hope that made sense....

I brew just for me whenever I feel like it. The 'French press' method I like best. Quick...easy...gentle on the coffee...predictable...easy clean-up. My previous press was glass (aren't they all?) which required some care to not bump it. THIS guy....stainless steel....and double-wall to provide some insulation so what you don't grab in your first pour stays warm for a reasonable amount of time! Plus, you can drink it right out of the press! Toss in the price, and this is an unbeatable deal! Do-it! (being an older guy with a partial, I've learned that using a denture-cleaner fizzie and hot water does an excellent job of getting a thorough de-oiling!)

I love French press coffee. Since I am the only one who drinks coffee in the house, this is perfect for me in the mornings. I don't have to make a big pot of coffee just what I need. Keeps the coffee hot, I can travel, I can take it to work! Love it! recommend to anybody who loves good coffee, fast!!!
