This press is a great investment. You support the environment by putting the coffee grounds in a compost heap, or by using them around your garden. I make three level cups of water each day (two mugs). I use four level tablespoons of coffee, brewing for four minutes, by timer, in the Press. The press will hold four cups of water, if you wish to make that much coffee at a time. The brewed coffee will stay hot and fresh in the Press for a few hours - I mean until you fill your mug a third time that morning. My brewed coffe= doesn't have time to become stale. I need at least four bags of coffee a month.
