the mesh doesn't wrap all the way around the spring that pushes it against the walls, so looks like there are some gaps where grinds can sneak through, resulting in more sediment in the cup.still usable, but wouldn't buy a new one if it goes. nice concept, bad execution.i much prefer stainless steel (rather than glass), but the filter mesh assembly is not well designed on this model, unfortunately.
Highly recommended. The insulation is excellent and the pot makes excellent coffee. This is my second Nissan insulated press pot. The last one lasted about 10 years and we had to get this one because the screw that holds the filter together fell out and was lost.
Just increase grind size and also realize, this is a trait of French Presses to a degree. In fact, I am drinking a cup of coffee right now I made in the press.People complaining about how hot it keeps the coffee are ridiculous folk. It even makes a great cup out of canned coffee for those days you are too lazy to fiddle with beans and a grinder.It is also incredibly durable. Bearing in mind that other stainless presses sell for $70, this one at $30 is great. Great for travel. I have tried several other solutions I received as gifts and have returned to this. And while it doesn't look as elegant as the $70 models, it looks great in our new stainless steel kitchen.
My expensive glass press also leaches a bit of the coffee grinds into the beverage. To filter sediment, if it really annoys you, pour it through a cheap coffee filter.I honestly find the coffee in this pot the most consistent and among the best coffee I have had.anywhere. If you need to warm it up, throw it in the micro or pour it into the coffee maker you will no longer use and turn on the burner. I have now used this unit for about a year. At that point, you don't want the coffee sitting in with the grinds anyway.
Some people have complained about sediment. It does a great job for about 1-1 1/2 hours and it is still drinkably hot after 2. My old coffee maker has not returned. It is a bit of a trade-off for the balanced smooth coffee. It delivers day after day great coffee.
This pot is of excellent quality and makes the best tasting coffee ever. After yet another broken drip coffee pot (they never seem to last more than a year) I decided to go low-tech and get a coffee press. I'll never go back to drip coffee.
The Bodum has a much better quality filter). (Look closely and you can see the difference in the filter weave. Easily fixed by replacing the new filter with the old one from the now defunct glass press.
I broke down and bought the cheapest non-breakable I could find. Only complaint is the FILTER. After breaking my fourth Bodum glass coffee press, I decided that's it.
The filter allowed more grounds and detritus through. For the money, this is a great product. The thermos feature is a huge selling point.
You can actually have a "warm-up" later as opposed to a lukewarm poor from the glass press.
