Either the metal cage is made to big or the glass is now thinner. The glass is not held in properly. I have had other presses by Bodum and they used to be better. The top of the plunger is now plastic causing the entire plunger to wobble. The metal stem is thinner as is the metal of the screen. All in all a significant downgrade in quality.

I bought this as a back up as my electric coffee maker had died. It does make good coffee, just takes a little more time. I wish the glass carafe were a little thicker, I simply try and be very careful with it.

best and only way to drink coffee

great capacity for morning brew with good friends.

We have a small Bodum coffee press for every day but needed a bigger one for when we have people over. The French press is a great way to make good coffee and it works perfectly.

Excellent product for the coffee addict.
