Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You can listen to the all the great reviews (which I did at first) but read this. Yes this works but I have bought a couple of these over the years on amazon because they tend to fall apart after daily use within a year and I would have get a new one. It seems that daily heat applied would finally cause it to become brittle and break easily. So I finally said goodbye to plastic ones and bought the more expensive stainless steel french press you can find on amazon. Yes, it's more money but it was the best investment I made. It's heavy and solid throughout and can easily withstand daily use and be put through the dishwasher and look great afterwards. Plus, no more worrying about plastic parts breaking (plus who wants to brew coffee in some sort of plastic thing). If you plan to use a press for your daily coffee, do yourself a favor and get the stainless one. After this one breaks you'll be wishing you did. Update: A few people asked...I bought the Frieling Polished Stainless French Press. You can find it on here. It's rock solid and built very well. should last a looong time! Update 9/2016 - this says its dishwasher safe. What caused it to break was the heating and cleaning of the dishwasher. My other "new" unit (which people said I over promoted) is stilling going strong 5 years later. Bottom line, there are even more better options than what i said 5 years ago. Stay away from anything plastic in general if you plan to use it alot and put in dishwasher. Glass / Metal is ok.
