For those who love Cafe Au Lait a great coffee press!
Rating: 
My sister bought this press for the house. This one works real well-- perfect for those coffee press users. Bodum is also a well known brand of coffee press, so you don't have to worry about a flimsy product. Also if it breaks, Bodum is pretty good with spare parts. As a comsumer, I always recommend you shop around for the best price.
When using a coffee press, or any other coffee machine, make sure you FRESHLY grind your coffee for optimal taste. I recommend all serious coffee drinkers to invest in a good burr grinder-- you really can taste the differnce. Also for a coffee press the ginds must be large and coarse in thickness, otherwise your pressed coffee will taste lousy-- do not use automatic drip sized grinds. I also recommend a quality dark/French roast when using a press.
Please note that this press makes 3 French-sized cups of coffee. In Paris cafes, you're served coffee in a press with a "bowl sized" cup half filled with steamed milk (Cafe Au Lait).
A superb cup of coffee
Rating:
I'm quite the lover of good coffee, and I hadn't ever owned a coffee press until buying this particular item.
The use of it is simple. I keep coarsely ground coffee in a tupperware in the fridge at work. I pour two scoops into the bottom, pour hot water on top, and push the press down. Ten minutes later, out comes terrific pressed coffee.
The flavor is different than traditional drip-and-filter coffee makers, but difficult to describe; subtle and yet more full-bodied.
It really is a terrific cup of coffee. Note, that it is a single standard-mug sized cup of coffee. The "3-cup" title is ... misleading at best. However, it is really convenient to not have to brew an entire pot of coffee, and it is also very convenient to have a press for brewing a cup at work.
Highly recommended.
Perfect for one cup of coffee

I love this little coffee press. This coffee press is perfect for one mug of coffee. Making coffee in a press is far superior than to any electric drip. I use this one every morning. When I have company, I use the 8-cup with the coffee catcher. Once I used a coffee press, I never went back to the electric drip coffee maker.
