I love the coffee that comes out of this press, it is beyond that of any drip machine. However, the glass that Bodum uses for their presses is by far to fragile. In the past year I have gone through two beakers. I find this to be a bit crazy. A replacement beaker costs about the same as the entire press. There are plastic beakers out there, but I'd rather stick to glass. There has to be a better way. If my drinking glasses can last for years, then why can't this?

After all the reviews and paranoia about which size press to buy, I went with the four cup press. I love this baby. I use a regular size mug, not European but not over-sized American, and this makes enough for two cups. I keep it at my desk at work, so that’s all I need at one time. The maintenance is super easy and I am saving so much money by not buying coffee everyday. I recommend the four cup over the three cup because: A) it’s only [slightly more expensive], B) better to have too much coffee than too little, and C) who knows what size mug we’ll all be using in 2015. If you use a normal size mug and want only one cup, get the three cup. If you want 1.5-2 cups or use a large mug, get the four cup press. [...]Also, the four cup press comes with a scoop, which doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere. I bought mine at a store to avoid shipping.

This unit makes a great cup of coffee but if I were you I would always have a spare glass inset, which the makers sell, on hand. I have broken at least two insets and I was SOL on coffee that day. As long as you have an unternate method to make coffee in case of an accident you will prefer to use the Press. My favorite cup, and you can decide how dark or light you want it.

We've had a Bodum coffee press for five years, and have been extremely pleased with it! It makes delicious coffee, and we've used it at least once a week and washed it in the dishwasher each time, and it's never broken. (And I have managed to break two Pyrex measuring cups in that same time period!) Some people might have a problem with the glass breaking if they don't treat it with a little extra care: it's important to pre-heat the glass with some hot tap water before adding grounds and boiling water, otherwise the extreme temperature difference could crack the glass. Also, don't set the hot carafe in a cold sink or run cold water in it. Follow those two tips, and your carafe should serve you great coffee for years!

I love French pressed coffee, so when I recently purchased the Bodum 6-Cup Chambord, I expected quality. And I got it. The only warning I would give about this French press is that finely ground coffee gets caught in the filter. If this happens, let the filter dry and then tap out the remaining grounds. An alternative is to ground the beans more coarsely! All in all, this is a fantastic piece of equipment.

I knew the 4 cup pot was going to be small but it does not make 4 "American" cups...it might hold just 2 decent cups.. This would be a pot for one that only likes about 1 1/2 cups at a time. I was disappointed. [...] Normally I am very pleased with my online Target shopping

This is a wonderful "little" coffee press and it makes a great cup of coffee. But you should know it only makes 1 cup of coffee and that's it. It does not hold much water and I don't know where they thought it made 3 cups! It makes you think that you make 3 cups at a time. But the coffee is great!!! I would purchase another one, just bigger.

only makes 1 cup of coffee, but it sure is easy and turns out great!
