12 oz French Press Coffee/Tea Maker Single Cup Espresso Press Stainless Steel Filter 0.35L High Borosilicate Carafe Durable Bamboo Handle Small Coffee Maker

I was hesitant about this press when I saw reviews about it cracking. I made sure to “preheat” it as per the directions. Which makes sense. Common sense will tell you to not pour boiling hot water in a glass carafe. I only heat my water to 185-190• anyway.It made a perfect cup of coffee. It was easy to operate and easy to clean. The value for the money is great and it looks cute as hell on my countertop ❤️👍🏻

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very pretty! The glass of the carafe could stand to be thicker and less brittle, I'm definitely wary of its fragility but no issues so far and it does a great job. Love that it's plastic free *and* in a small size. That's hard to come by apparently.

I love this french press! I am the only one in the house that drinks coffee so there is no need for a large, bulky coffee pot. This makes the perfect amount for one cup of coffee. I also love that there is no plastic anywhere on it. My coffee tastes great with this! I have bought 2, one for the house and one for the trailer. I don't know what people are doing to break theirs, but mine is perfectly intact and I am not gentle with it. The strainer piece comes apart for easy cleaning. Overall, this is the best french press I have ever bought and the price is even better.

Update:I didn't realize it at first but the beaker had a hairline crack that expanded. Luckily I noticed in time and I was able to get a replacement from Amazon. I do wish that the glass was a bit thicker for this product. I still wanted a different handle material, so I wound up ordering a "Bodum Chambord Coffee Maker 3 Cup 0.35 Liter 12 Ounce Shiny" french press used from Amazon Warehouse for $15 in "like new condition." It was a bit of a tight fit but the glass beaker did fit into the Bodum stainless steel stand. I am currently using this brand's glass beaker and bamboo lid with the Bodum stainless steel holder that has a plastic handle. I really do like this french press overall and I would give it 5 stars if the handle was a more durable material such as stainless steel, plastic, or silicone.Original Review:I ordered this 12 oz French press and Ascot glass electric kettle based on Tamara Rubin’s advice for nontoxic and lead free kitchen items. It is beautiful but I wish the handle was either stainless steel or even plastic so that it could go through the dishwasher and there would be less worry of deterioration. I have hand washed it a few times and you can the see the bamboo is already drying out a bit on the handle. I am not having this problem with the bamboo top. I know that I could oil it but ideally I would like something that I could just rinse and pop into the dishwasher. I went so far as to order the same brand’s 12 oz version with a black plastic handle and lid to use for parts. I was hoping to swap out just the handle portion so that I would have the black handle with the original glass beaker without writing with the bamboo lid (I do not want the plastic lid touching the hot coffee). However, the glass beaker for the 12 oz glass/plastic combo is narrower. The bamboo lid is unable to press down as shown in the picture. It’s definitely a bummer. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do. I could possibly remove the beaker from the bamboo handle before washing it but I like to wash it right away and it’s very hot. I am debating if I should just switch over to another brand that is all glass and stainless steel. I saw a 34 oz one at IKEA that was reasonably priced.

I wanted a French press for one or two servings. This is a perfect size. It looks so cute displayed on a tray with coffee accessories or as part of decor on a stand in my kitchen . It makes wonderful cold brew and no coffee grinds ever escape into my cup. From hot to cold it is very durable and super easy to clean.My one con would be that I wish the lid was 1/4” deeper in order to fully cover the pour spout. I have to cover spout with plastic wrap when keeping in fridge for my cold brews as it sits for several hours. I still give it five stars and anticipate being able to use this a long time. Comes with replacement filters too!Update 1/25/22: I just used this to make cold foam!! As if I couldn’t love this enough. 6-7 quick pumps and you have perfectly formed microform.

Cute, but not very functional. Not very stable, a bit top heavy.

Excellent. Use it everyday

It meets all of my expectations, and makes delicious coffee

The product was ok overall. But the discovery of the lines of scratches (see red ovals indicated on the photos), near vertical, was annoying/disturbing. These scratches are visible and could potentially accelerate crack formation (during use, repeated thermal loading). The lines of scratches could arise from forcing the glass into the holder and twisting the glass into position. why would someone do this (when he/she can unscrew to loosen the holder) I do not know. Hence I sought to return the item.(12 Feb 2021: The delivery guy came to collect my items a few weeks ago, but I received no acknowledgement nor was I refunded for the return by Amazon. This is unacceptable.)
