What's all the fuss about French press coffee? A French press allows extraction of coffee directly from fully immersed coffee grounds. The result is a cup of coffee that has zero contact with paper filters or plastic outlets for a fuller, richer taste. The Meelio French Press Coffee Maker is made to last with high grade 18/10, 304 stainless steel. The double-wall construction keeps your coffee warmer than glass carafe presses and the best part is...they will not shatter! The multi-screen filter system effectively prevents tiny coffee grounds from leaking through when pressing. The metal filters are reusable, saving you money from disposable paper filters and allowing you to brew delicious coffee over and over again! Safety Instructions This product is not for stove top use Place on a day, heat proof, non-slip, flat, and stable surface when using Handle with care when filled with hot liquid, outside walls may be too hot to touch Do not overfill. Leave a minimum of 1 inch space at the top between the water and the spout Do not use excessive force when pressing as this can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the carafe Use coarse ground coffee as using fine grind coffee can cause high pressure when plunging Turn the spout away from you and turn the lid to close off the spout when pressing Lower the plunger slowly. Do not press with force if the plunger does not go down, instead remove the plunger and rinse plunger parts with water (handle with care as plunger will be hot), stir the coffee, replace the plunger, and slowly press again Do not use if s are found on the carafe Do not handle filter screens by the edges or frayed areas Do not allow children to use this coffee maker and keep children away while using The package includes: 1* French press 2*Two Extra Filter Screens 1* Coffee Measuring Spoon

Does the job but lid/filter part not fitted very well
It looks great and I have no complaints about the final result (the coffee!).The filter bits at the bottom are easily unscrewed for washing and drying, which is something I always look for.The clip-scoop looks nice and is very useful, too.I also like the measurement markings on the inside, they are very useful (I tend to do just above the 12 Oz line for one typical coffee mug and then just above the .5l mark for 2)I am disappointed with the design of how everything attaches into the middle bar, though. At First, the knob at the top (at the lid) would turn every time i tried to undo or put back on the filter parts at the other end. Eventually I discovered this was due to a poor glue job and the knob itself just screws into the bar (and was then glued on). I have since removed the knob and although it doesn't look as nice without It, it's one less hassle and it makes draining the granules much easier now that i can take the lid off completely while leaving the filter in.I read in other reviews that the filter doesn't reach all the way to the bottom of the jug. With the knob attached, it doesnt; but with the knob removed, it can. However, I've not really noticed a difference in the coffee either way.The other issue is the little nut (?) that connects to the filter bits on the bar. this also just screws on and off (I discovered it was another poor glue job). This bit is needed to secure the filter to the bar but is very annoying as it keeps needing adjustment and will easily go down the drain if it falls off without my knowledge.All in all, it makes decent coffee, looks nice (with the knob!), is easy to clean but it could be better.

Flawed design
I wanted this so that I could keep my coffee warm for a couple of hours, seemed reasonable as it is 'insulated'. The lid, however, does not fit properly so it doesn't make a seal. This allows hot air to escape and the contents cool quickly. There is an arrow on the lid that you line up with the spout so you can poor the coffee out. The coffee can be poured with the arrow in any position though, as the lid is such a poor fit. Returned item as it doesn't/can't do what it should...keep the coffee warm for any longer than just pouring it into a mug.

Get rid of the glass one and go full metal
Arrived quickly and well packaged with padding although not entirely sure why as this thing is like the chieftain tank of French presses. Extremely robust and well made with a good ergonomic handle on it. This was a replacement after I yet again, knocked my old glass one off the drying rack and watched it shatter as it hit the floor....this one just bounces!No issues with fine-ground coffee if that is your thing - just leave it long enough to brew and it plunges perectly. It is even supplied with spare filters and a well thought out coffee scoop.The double wall really does keep your coffee warmer for longer so no more trips through to the microwave.Really easy to clean, it doesn't even have to go in the top of the dishwasher - which is maybe just as well as I'm not sure it will fit.I really can't fault this French press - functional, easy to clean/maintain, bullet proof, insulated and it even looks good!

Nothing to fault.
Arrived next day.It will do 3 mugs of coffee.Keeps coffee plenty hot enough for about 30 minutes.Came with 2 extra filters and seems very well made.If you're after one of these buy this one.

Clumsy daughter proof!
I bought this after my clumsy daughter broke the third glass jug in as many years! I should have done it sooner because it's better at keeping coffee warm than the glass by far, and clumsy is going to find it almost impossible to break. Buy it, you will be glad you did.
