Love the sturdy construction and simplicity of design
I love this French press! I started drinking French press recently (about a year ago), and my first French press was a bodum glass walked one. I love that too, but this one showed why this is better. Here are some points to consider: - metal. Enough said. Any jewelry you wear, any kids or pets may knock down the glass one and it will break. Not only will you have coffee stains, but also glass to deal with. This one is sturdy. Also, the metal body makes it easier to clean. And easier to use a metal spoon if you like to stir your coffee for a stronger brew. - double walled: the temperature drop between this and the bodum glass FP is 10 degrees in 4 minutes. That's a lot considering you haven't even started drinking the coffee yet. - double filter: less coffee sediments at the bottom, allows more 'drinkable' coffee, hence more enjoyment. - feel of a French press: one think I always longed for the feeling of resistance when you plunge. The glass FP never really gave that feeling - this one does. There is something satisfying about that. - handle: the handle feels solid, has a flat surface on top (see pictures), making it easier to handle. There's enough distance between the handle and the body to ensure you don't burn your knuckles. All in all, very satisfied. This has now become my default FP to use at home.
