Bearing in mind that other stainless presses sell for $70, this one at $30 is great.
Some people have complained about sediment. Just increase grind size and also realize, this is a trait of French Presses to a degree. It is a bit of a trade-off for the balanced smooth coffee. My expensive glass press also leaches a bit of the coffee grinds into the beverage.
I have now used this unit for about a year. It delivers day after day great coffee. My old coffee maker has not returned. I have tried several other solutions I received as gifts and have returned to this. 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 does a great job for about 1-1 1/2 hours and it is still drinkably hot after 2. At that point, you don't want the coffee sitting in with the grinds anyway. 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.
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. 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. Great for travel. And while it doesn't look as elegant as the $70 models, it looks great in our new stainless steel kitchen.
