8-Cup Double Wall Insulated Stainless Steel French Coffee Press, 32-Ounce Durable Coffee Tea Maker with Stainless Steel Plunger, Red

“How do I love thee… let me count the ways…”After years of using a glass coffee press (BTW “French”, like in the fries, has little to do with a coffee press pot, and ya, I know it’s a common term) I had learned to love the coffee brewed and curse the makers of many broken, egg-shell glass pots to the deepest parts of Hades. They will crack/break if you look at them funny. For the few comments that suggest this is always due to some form of abuse… well, keep on buying glass. For more knowing, practical creatures,the ALL stainless steel, double walled is a blessing in all areas. I swore to replace the next broken coffee press with full stainless, but would always seem to find another like-new glass one in some resale store or EBay for 5 bucks and shelling out around 100 bucks for a “beautiful” top of the line stainless pot hurt my frugal feelings. Then my last glass pot cracked… in the cupboard, overnight, apparently attacked by tiny evil elves, because I had learned to handle glass pots like holy objects, with kid gloves. It was the last straw. Still, I knew drinking my morning elixir from a pot that cost a hundred bucks or so would not provide personal satisfaction. These pricey pots are fine, but I began to search reviews to locate one less expensive. Oh, the glass pot with the 4″ crack luckily (magically) did not leak. Divine providence had allowed a day-to-day reprieve, while I compared reviews. The Highwin won. I took a chance and was rewarded. For about forty American dollars I have a stainless steel jewel and apparently an unbreakable workhorse… plus they sent a replacement screen along in the box. Like one could actually own a coffee press long enough to wear out the filter screen… Ha.For those seeking a great cup of Joe., simply, at home, without filling the coffers of your local shoppe, do NOT buy a press pot with ANY glass or plastic parts. (reread until you feel the truth of it). It’s not all about low cost either, as I have a very fine $$ (now rather dusty) stainless steel, with a gold mesh filter, grind and brew electric coffee maker, used seldom, for large gathering of folks who neither know or care about great coffee. The “simply” part comes from some patient practice to get the brew just the way you want it. A coffee press makes coffee that tastes of coffee (having sampled coffees around the world, I’m not tough enough for Turkish made, consumed daily) and you cannot read the paper (computer screen now) through it, as served to the uninitiated masses, in many American restaurants.I recommend this coffee press highly… I have used it for about a month and It works better than any pot I have had, looks great (I like stainless steel) and the price is more than reasonable. Should my observations change, I will upgrade this epic comment. My thanks to the reasonable reviewers who led me to purchase the Highwin. I owe no allegiance to any coffee maker company nor would I mislead, with intent, on a subject I hold so dear.UPDATED: Okay… I have used this Highwin coffee press pot for about 9 months daily and it still wonderful on all points. Do not buy a coffee press with any glass or plastic parts.NOW… for those who say it is difficult to clean – you’re doing it wrong. Should take less than a minute, maybe a bit more if you close your eyes…… for those who think the double wall has something to do with keeping your coffee warm… your doing it wrong… brew your coffee and separate the fresh brew from the grounds, into a pre-heated coffee service carafe, or it will continue to brew into luke warm, bitter muck. You would be dismayed to learn how many comments here indicate they keep coffee & grounds together and wonder why it does not stay hot longer. I wonder how they drink the goop remaining in the press pot??? LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY BREW WITH A COFFEE PRESS with the many tips on Google and enjoy the finest cup o’ joe right at home.****April 2017 UPDATE 2 YEARS LATER: Still tickled with this, still looks like new, have yet to need the spare filter they provided and i use it nearly every day. Soooo… for a bit of truth… If anyone suggests you buy ANY coffee press with ANY GLASS OR PLASTIC PARTS… walk away, this twisted, uninformed source (even if it’s American Test Kitchen reviews)… has an alternative motive.
