Sorry I didn't buy a bigger one. Just add hot water to the press to warm it first.keeps coffee hot a while longer. This coffee pot is great. It is beautifully designed and is easy to clean.
Keeps hot, easy to wash and it won't break like the glass ones. I use this for tea and it's great.
I couldn't be happier. Perhaps the best made French Press ever made. As nice as pictured. What you can't see is how well it is made.
Still doesn't make much coffee for 35 oz, but between the process of making it (heating the pot & cup with hot water, stirring the grounds, allowing it to steep etc.). It looks great, feels substantial. and the coffee beans, it makes one amazing cup-o-joe. I couldn't be happier with my new french press. I get no grounds in the coffee, this is a first.
So if you are trying to decide, like I was, between a coffee press, a coffeemaker, and an espresso machine, I strongly encourage you to try this coffee press, for flavor and texture alone. The only problem I can foresee is that it's very portable. I'm extremely picky.and my husband who almost never drank coffee before, is now having some every day. It won't break like a glass carafe and IT IS THERMAL and holds the heat for quite a while. This is a FANTASTIC coffee press for several reasons, and a VERY good buy at that.
I wanted stainless steel, so I spent the extra $$, but they also sell more affordable onesFroth Au Lait - Froth 'N Sauce, Platinum and the reviews are great on those as well. I also bought a Froth-au-Lait milk frotherProfessional Stainless Steel Heat On/Off Froth Au Lait frother and it is a GREAT product as well with excellent customer service. It's pretty, too.a real piece of ART. :) PS. Additionally, it's FAST. or I might open up my own coffee bar and call it Savebucks. You do have to make sure that you add the hot water only up to about a quarter inch BELOW the pour spout (coffee included), so that when you lower the press nothing gets forced up into the spout that could fall back in on top, thereby ending up in your cup when you pour. I do believe it's going to be my new "gift" of choice for coffee-loving friends.
First, we are now drinking (from this press) the MOST DELICIOUS coffee we've ever HAD.and everyone who's tried it so far (friends and family) agrees with us. I've only had it for about two weeks and already two different people have asked me to bring it with me when I go to their house. I now happily pass my favorite coffee spots on my way to get HOME for my latte or cappuccino. The person who thought this one was mediocre, because of the grounds, probably made the same mistake we did in the beginning. It's EASY to clean.
