Works great but small than I need.
I am pleased with the mechanical construction of this press and have not broken the glass cylinder yet. :)
There is certainly a bit of fooling around involved with making a cup of coffee and cleaning up afterwords but all worth it as a good cup of coffee is the result.
My only problem is the amount of coffee made. It is barley what I would call a cup but is better than no coffee at all and worth going though the process if I am the only one having coffee.
The only thing I would do different is get a larger press constructed like this one.

Pleased with purchase
I got this because I wanted to be able to make a cup of coffee for myself (my husband doesn't drink coffee). Keep in mind that it is small and makes enough for 1 cup of coffee for just 1 person at a time. I would suggest buying an extra glass beaker at the same time - I broke mine the first week and had to go to Sur La Table and buy the beaker for $10.

works well, but sizes are misleading...
I was looking for a quality classic french press to make a little tasty coffee in the morning; I was thinking 2 large cups so I went with this size. Although the press does work very well, I was pretty disappointed when I opened the package and realized how small the thing is. When they say 3 cups, they are talking about those tiny traditional European coffee cups-- only one solid mug-ful for me. Overall, I definitely recommend the Bodum Chambord press but I would strongly encourage you to go up a size or 2 if you really are looking to get 2 or 3 cups out of it, or else you'll just have to redo the pressing process to make each serving.
