(More customer reviews)First off, make sure you notice in the writing above that while this is called a 3 cup press, it does not make 3 US cups.It makes 1.5 US cups.This is a sip or two more than will fit in most of my mugs and hence is exactly the amount of coffee I want since my husband can't stand coffee.If you were wanting this to make a mug each for two people though, you won't be happy with this little guy and need to look at the bigger models.
Other than that, this is pretty straight foward device.It's very easy to use and a snap to clean.And the coffee it produces is excellent; after using it for two years, I now have problems when company comes over and I want to use my big autodrip coffee maker because so much of the richness of my beans get lost with the drip method.
The only thing that keeps me from rating this product a full five stars is that I have problems with the filters after about eight months to a year.The press currently in my kitchen is actually the second one I have had because the last one became unusable when the filter simply stopped being willing to stay in place.Now I am having this problem with the replacement.It is possible that my problem is due to the fact that the filters get warped and could be solved by simply buying new filters, but since the filters are $4 plus shipping and a complete replacement costs $11, it makes as much sense to me simply to replace the whole unit and have a backup in case I drop it and shatter the glass (which has happened in the last year!).But, really, I shouldn't complain too much about this because $11 a year is a small price to pay to make perfect coffee.

Bodum Brazil 3-Cup Glass Coffee Press, BlackProduct Description: One of Bodum's original coffee press designs from the 1980s, the Bodum Brazil offers a classic take on modern, functional design that will never go out of style. Perfect for extracting your coffee's aromatic oils and subtle flavors, this three-cup coffee press can hold up to 12 ounces. It features an ultra-light, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker, which is both strong and resistant to temperature extremes and dishwasher safe. It's complemented by a polypropylene handle and base and a three-part stainless steel plunger with a fine mesh filter--allowing the flavor of the coffee to be delivered direct to your cup and not absorbed by a paper filter. The patented safety lid also prevents the splashing of liquids while pressing. Also available in a 34-ounce size, the Brazil is dishwasher-safe and carries a one-year limited warranty.
To make the perfect pot of French press coffee, add one rounded tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee for each four-ounce cup of water. After pouring boiling water over the coffee, give the grounds a stir with a plastic spoon. Allow your coffee to brew in the press for four minutes, then press down on the plunger.
