Highly recommended. We use it as our everyday coffee maker. One brewing only makes enough for two mugs but it only takes four minutes to brew. Easy to clean, easy to use. Makes a great rich, dark coffee. Recommend six rounded scoops of coarse ground coffee for each full brew.

I purchased this "8 cup" model because we use a Bodum all the time - makes great coffee! However when it arrived I was disappointed to realize it is the same size as what I would call our 4 cup model. The only thing I can do now when company arrives, is use both units to make 8 cups. Too bad it wasn't really an 8 cup!!!!!! If you're looking for a larger Bodum so you can make more cups each time, this is not for you (nor me).

I go through these quite often, needing to replace every year or two. this one is awkward to put the plunger back in and impossible if you fill it more that 1" from the top.

It is what it is .... an awesome press...... have used fine to coarse grinds and always a clean cup of joe....I use a bodum conical burr grinder..... try to get it on sale

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He uses it at work and absolutely loves it. It makes a great cup of coffee and the handle is actually more comfy then the more expensive Bodum designs. The price on amazon was great and delivery was fast.

Purchased this to replace my Bodum Chambord french press that broke on me. Love everything about it. I am much happier with the size of this one compared to my previous one. Don't be fooled by the 8 cup rating though. While it may be true for drinkers of SMALL cups of coffee, a full press is only enough for 3-4 standard sized mugs of coffee.

If I had to note any con to this unit, it would only be that the way the handle is designed at the top makes you have to put the press mechanism in on an angle at first instead of straight down. However, this is not enough to knock down the units 5* rating.

Knocked this off of the granite accidentally and cracked it, so if you're clumsy like me you might want to look into one with the stainless coverings.

I bought this for those days that I just need coffee for one, or I want something better than what comes from using the basket. My husband lets it sit for a couple minutes, and stirs with a plastic chopstick before serving it. I find that makes it tastes better as well.

It works. Add grounds, water and press. Works exactly like every other coffee press. Good price and good quality product.

For the price, the coffee is excellent. Just make sure you use a good coffee, and follow the instructions, and your coffee will be very good. I even find that it better than my Jura ena 4...!
