This is a winner! In the past year I've broken two glass French presses, so this stainless steel one was a great find, and reasonably priced. AND helping the monks is great, too.

The Monk Press is the first French press I have ever owned. It made delicious Blueberry Muffin Monk coffee. The coffee stayed nice and hot, and the flavor was rich and s. I cannot wait to try other flavors in my press. It holds a good amount of coffee as well.

We've used presses, pour-over cups, and espresso machines the past decade. None pleased until now. This carafe press makes great coffee without pesky floating grounds, keeps the coffee hot a good long while, and cleans up lickety-split. Thank you for offering this particular press! Just bought a second one so can make caffeinated and decaffeinated at the same time. Extremely reasonable price. So quiet: no more noisy mornings!

I was pleasantly surprised when I made a pot of tea and forgot about it for about an hour and to my astonishment it was still pipping hot! I received it as a gift and prefer it to any porcelains pot I have ever owned. Marina Scott

Excellent press. Looks great on the counter next to the stainless steel appliances! I will be getting the Monk vault next to make the set complete.
