casaWareStainless Steel 32-Ounce Thermal French Press Coffee and Tea Maker (Black)

After having a few glass style french presses and them breaking or looking a bit cheap, I saw this beautiful looking item on special offer and jumped straight at it. I am so pleased that I did!Firstly, it looks amazing in my kitchen. A real talking point too. It's also really well designed and well made. It has a rubber part on the base which aids stability. The handle is comfortable. The pour release button is a great idea. The double-walled feature really does keep the coffee hot for quite a while. I've not attempted to see if it stays hot for six hours as claimed but after 2.5 hours it was still hot upon pouring. It feels like a solid bit of kit.I can't really fault it. I have had a few grinds come through into the coffee, but that is only when trying to pour out the final dregs of coffee at the bottom of the pot. I'm seriously impressed with this. I hope it lasts me for many years as it is definitely my favourite item in the kitchen!

Love this French press!! It makes just enough coffee for one or two people, and keeps the coffee HOT. The stainless steel interior makes it easy to clean, and matte black exterior also looks clean vs glass presses that quickly become cold and water spotted. The only watch-out is you need to lift the lid to let the steam pressure out to depress the plunger/filter or it resists or spits coffee above the seal and you get grounds in your drink. Great product

This french press works well, the mesh filter seals well, better than other french presses I owned. However, I didn't notice a small crack on the head of the press proper (see picture), which, although it does not seem to impair the working of the press, indicates poor quality control. For reference, I received the press on Jun. 10, 2021 and I have used since, 1-2 times a day.

This is by far the best French Press I ever owned. Well built. (I don't know what others are doing to break it) The handle is very strong. No need for adding a paper filter like I have done with other units. This thing filters perfectly. I get very little grounds. The thermos style keeps coffee warm for a couple hours.I highly recommend this French Press. It's better than the more expensive ones.

Overall, this is a very nice press. All of the components are quality, and I love the finishes.However, I noticed the handle starting to loosen after a few uses. Based the design, I could tell that the screw had started to loosen inside the handle. I’m an engineer :)...so, I vibrated the handle all the way off the screw, popped off the cover and removed the screw. I have just applied red (semi-permanent) thread locker to the screw/handle interface and am letting it set up overnight. This should solve the problem! We’ll see how the rest of it holds up.
