Exactly what I wanted!!!
By DD on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018
This is the easiest yet tastiest cup of coffee I have ever had! You put the coffee in, put the water in, wait 1-4 minutes depending on your preference, and press the top down. It slides easily, unlike the regular French Press, and there are clearly marked lines on the side as to MAX amount of water. After my husband unexpectedly passed, I wanted to simplify my life, so I wanted to get rid of the microwave that I was using only to reheat coffee from my larger presses. This makes 2 regular size coffee cups full of coffee and I feel that's enough for me right now. Then, all you do is slide the top part back off, throw out the grounds, then stick everything into the dishwasher. I haven't had any pieces fall off or any trouble sliding pieces apart. I don't know if I would take it camping, but it's cute, extremely well made, and best of all, there's no glass to break!!! I have had to replace the glass in my traditional presses 3 times in the course of my coffee drinking life, so this pays for itself over and over! I can't think of any cons, except that it's too new to have some You Tube videos with people using it for those who have been having problems. It seems that would be helpful if there are people out there who know how to do that...

Size is 18 oz. not 34 oz.
By Peapod on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018
At the time of purchase (3/21/18) the title copy stated 34oz. When I received the item and checked, it turned out to be 18 oz / 550 ml at the max line. As of this review that error has been deleted. However, no description has been added as to the size/capacity. You’ll have to look for it on the lower right bottom of the packaging image. Aside from that error, this is my impression of this press: Pros — Good concept — Good aesthetically designed form — Double-walled Tritan plastic should hold heat — Good price point (19.99) Cons (see blow-out diagram) —Locking feature on the cover-handle loosens easily. It had a tendency to pop off when lifting, not user friendly. —Locking feature on the filter lock is also loose. Required several tries to keep it locked while inserting onto the core chamber. — Spout needs a more drip-free redesign; pour without the need for a napkin under the pot. Lastly, as another reviewer mentioned, it takes a strong pull to release the core chamber. It may be a potential pain point for some. Ultimately, it wasn’t the size I needed, I returned the item.
