BodumKenya 3-Cup French Press Coffee maker, 12-Ounce

Really nice ! Attractive and perfect for 2 (American) cups...

Get the same press filter as the more expensive shinystainless versions.

4 stars and not 5 because there are plastic parts in contact with the coffee: never a good idea. and is a potential failure feature.

What can we say here, it works exactly as it should. The screening is nice and snug, and the carafe is a great size for someone who likes a few mugfuls or a couple enjoying a morning cuppa together.I use mine for steeping loose leaf teas and no matter what I put in it, it strains perfectly.One thing I love about this particular press over the less expensive choices is the fact that the screen housing drops in without having to fenagle it past the handle clip at the top of the carafe like on other models. So silly, but since it is just a great French Press and they are a fairly standard item, I was wondering what I could say that would help you make the decision to purchase this. So there you have it, so great I really had to reach for something to highlight it out.

Perfect size for me; easy to use and to clean and store. I had one exactly this size for 15 years and one day.... HORRORS..... I dropped it and broke it! Oh noooo.....boo hoo hooooo........ I shopped for this one and finally found it!! Oh happy day!! I love this coffee press because of it's simplicity. Not all coffee presses are the same. I love that I can turn the lid around to close the spout, then turn it back around to pour. Not all presses allow this. It says "4-cup" but that really means about a cup and a half in my big mug. Bodum refers to a Cup as 4 oz! Anyway, this is a great little coffee press, and I'm glad to have it.

Simple and a to the point

It makes 16-18 oz (depending on how high you fill it) which is perfect for my travel mug. Most of the other smaller French presses make only 12 oz, and the typical ones make a quart or more. It feels solidly built as well. The screen seems better (than my previous 12 oz press) at keeping most of the French press sludge from getting in the coffee.

Says it’s four cups, but barely fills two standard coffee mugs.
