I bought the press to support the monk and to assist me in making my home made mocha drink.
First, I found the mug portion to be well made.
However, it is not very large and does even make a full 8 oz cup of coffee.
The lid is difficult to lock securely and the liquid leaks out the sides when poured. I think the press needs to be redesigned. Meanwhile, I have returned to using my previous press.
