French Press
The Perfect Cup of Coffee!!! Absolutely my favorite product to make my coffee. I've been changing products for years, and this is the best and easiest for clean-up (well, the Keurig is easier -- yet the Keurig is honestly a piece of junk). I really recommend this French Press!

Very good product, easy to use and the coffee tastes great if you buy very good coffee.

It's Not Perfect But Still Satisfactory
This coffee press does what it's supposed to do; however, I have some issues with it. First, the 8-cup size is more like 4 cups since most people drink out of mugs. Second, there's been a lot posted about the oils and particulates in the coffee being essential to a full-bodied cup of coffee, and so on. While that may be for some people, for others it results in heartburn. I've always used the drip method with a filter and have made fine coffee (everyone likes my coffee); but it was a slow way to go, especially with company, so I thought the Bodum would be more satisfactory. What I discovered with the press (even with coarse grind coffee) is that if tried to pour all the coffee out of the pot, I'd get lots of residue and coffee grounds in the cup. Since I buy expensive organic coffee, I'm not pleased with having to leave half cup of coffee in the pot. Now when I use the Bodum, I do a hybrid method and pour through a filter after I press it--which rather makes the coffee press redundant though a tad faster. Finally, to those people to whom such things matter, the Bodum looks good on the kitchen counter and will attest to your sophistication.
