Item Info
Modern design french press consists of a narrow cylindrical glass jug, equipped with a lid and a stainless plunger, which fits tightly in the cylinder glass beaker and which has a fine wire mesh acting as a filter. Coffee is brewed by placing the coffee and water together, leaving to brew for a few minutes, then depressing the plunger to trap the coffee grinds at the bottom of the glass jug. A French press requires coffee of a more coarse grind than that used for a drip brew coffee filter, such as produced by a burr mill grinder rather than the whirling blade variety, as a finer grind will seep through the press filter and into the coffee. Because the coffee grounds remain in direct contact with the brewing water and the grinds are filtered from the water via a mesh instead of a paper filter, coffee brewed with the French press captures more of the coffee's flavor and essential oils, which would become trapped in a traditional drip brew machine's paper filters. French pressed coffee is usually stronger and thicker and has more sediment than drip-brewed coffee. Double wall borosilicate glass retains heat and freshness longer. Hand blown art glass with stainless steel parts.

I purchased this because I was so impressed with the design. It has an air gap between the inner lining and outer glass wall. This means that it is extremely well insulated, and will keep the coffee hot for a long time. This is much better design than the solid glass french presses, which allow the coffee to cool down quickly.This is the problem with this unit though, which makes it useless. The little pour spout is not designed properly. When I go to pour coffee from the press, the coffee simply runs down the side of the press as if there were no pour spout there at all. This is a fatal flaw. If I try to pour fast or slow it does not matter. There is not a pour speed at which the coffee will pour out of the press. It ends up running down the outer wall, and then dumping on the table.I am just curious . . . did they never actually try and use this product? How could they ship something that so clearly does NOT WORK?

While looking for the right French press for mostly making tea, I really wanted a glass dome, for the visual aspect, as well as double walled. This double wall does keep liquid hot longer and adds to durability. I love that it has no metal rings or handle as well. The internal metal pieces unscrew in seconds making it very easy to clean.After reading about the pouring problems I asked at the store if I could try pouring. I have NO PROBLEMS POURING. This is really a great press and I am happy with this choice after some extensive searching.

Love the design; but like the other reviewer, I'm often surprised by the lack of "form follows function" in many products. However I do enjoy the challenge of making them work... in this case, IF the wide collar of the lid (which I think inhibits pouring) is thin enough, I'd suggest cutting-out an upside-down 'U' shape (diameter of a dime or nickle) & lining this up w/the pour spout.I regularly use Bodum + other double-walled glassware & love the technology... I may buy this French Press just to see if my idea works.
