Really easy to use French press that fits tightly around the glass. Pros: inexpensive, easy to use and clean, good coffee taste. Cons: doesn't keep the coffee hot for too long since it's a glass french press. However, you must buy a French press based on how much coffee you will drink in that moment rather than holding it for an hour+; if you want to make multiple cups for yourself, you'll need to transfer this into an insolated travel mug or drink it comes. I would improve this product by offering it in multiple sizes. This is very affordable, especially since this is good quality french press that doesn't leak coffee grinds into your cup of coffee. I would recommend this to everyone wanting to try a French press at home.

This French press is so easy and efficient, I use this everyday for my morning coffee! I pour about 4 scoops of coffee grounds into this and fill it with boiling water. After 4 minutes, I slowly push in the press, and let that sit for another 2-3 minutes before pouring. A very cost efficient of option overall as it requires no electricity or coffee filters.

Do not purchase - it exploded on me

Upon pouring boiling water into the french press, and putting the top on it, it exploded. Glass flew (pictured on the ground) hot water and coffee grounds also flew everywhere. I am lucky I was wearing thick pants, or I would have severe burns. I have reached out to the manufacturing company multiple times and they have not responded. I reached out to Target and they gave me a refund, but no other form of compensation which was disappointing.

Great coffee maker

It's a great coffee maker. As a brazilian born and raised in Brazil. I don't knonw why they called this coffee maker Bodum Brazil. French presses are not very popular over there. But, I caucht my attention. The coffee maker that is still very popular over there is the italian boiling water coffee maker that splits in the middle. Target does not sell that one. I had to purchase some place eles. This one is great. It is not expensive and very eficient. I use it at work. The reason I gave 4 stars for Desing is that the plastic cup that holds the glass needs some work to have the water traped inside be free. When you poor the coffee in your cup all the way to the end the water traped in the plastic cup drips on your table. Anoying. Not hard to fix that with little holes ... MoreIt's a great coffee maker.

Great coffee press, no grounds

Great coffee press! Sturdy container, no grounds in cup. Easy to clen. Makes delicious coffee. Perfect for making weaker brews. Very satisfied with purchase.

I am happy I purchased the French press

I use mine to make iced coffee. It is delicious. I have a k cup machine that makes iced coffee but I always ended up throwing the iced coffee down the sink as it had a nasty taste. The French press makes delicious iced coffee. I wash it by hand as the glass feels very delicate. I believe this was probably made for the after dinner coffee as after dinner coffee cups hold 4 ounces. The coffee mugs most people use for hot coffee hold 12 ounces of coffee. You could make 4 eight ounce coffees.

Not too great

I love Bodum brand, just not this one. I normally buy the original but because of the reviews and price I took a chance. The mesh does not reach far bottom enough to properly press the grinds. Also, a lot of grinds escape because of the gap between the meash and bottom. The other negative is the top, the original brand allows for swivel to ensure the liquid is kept totally covered where this style gives only one option. Returning to purchase the original one again; its worth the extra $5 in my opinion.

Shattered during Handwashing

I liked the seemingly heavy glass, and well formed plastic. It felt heavy and quality and I was pleased with how long it kept the brew hot and how nicely the press worked. The key for the press was slightly annoying, but it felt like a durable, nice piece for daily use. I was thinking about getting a second one.I was wrong.While washing it normally in the sink in a stainless steel tub, the glass split and broke into several pieces. I was lucky not to be cut.I haven't even had it two weeks, maybe used it 5 or 6 times. My Bodum press with the metal sleeve and glass insert has been perfect for years - I've even taken it backpacking and been far more abusive with it than some normal handwashing.I'm not sure what happened with this version - but I was very ... MoreI liked the seemingly heavy glass, and well formed plastic.

bodum french press: flavorful coffee

Great flavored coffee lovers! Easy to use and clean. Followed reviews for perfect measurements. One scoop per cup is okay, but heaping spoon per cup plus one more makes a robust cup. Thank you to experienced users for helpful tips. Highly recommended!

still using my Bodum Kenya due to design issue

I bought this because I wanted a nicer model than the cheaper bodum Kenya that was my 1st French press. it had good reviews. it looks nicer. however ewhen I received it and started using I immediately saw the issue once you pour the water in the plunger only fits on ONE way with the pour spout turned forwards or OPEN. I saw no reviews when I purchased that mentioned this. I subsequently searched around the internet Bodum Brazil and found other people complaining about this design issue. Because of it, as soon as you brew the coffee there is no way to turn the spout closed so basically all of the heat is escaping. I bought a 51ounce model and that doesn't really work out very conveniently. so I find myself resorting to my original Bodum Kenya unless I haven't washed ... MoreI bought this because I wanted a nicer model than the cheaper bodum Kenya that was my 1st French press. it had good reviews. it looks nicer. however ewhen I received it and started using I immediately saw the issue once you pour the water in the plunger only fits on ONE way with the pour spout turned forwards or OPEN.
