My husband and I received one of these as a wedding gift, and liked it so much that we gave them to his parents as a thank you gift. Now it's just: boil water, pour into travel mug and GO. It makes it easier to take coffee to work with you. Before it was: boil water, pour over coffee in french press, wait a few mins, transfer coffee to travel mug, clean out press, THEN go to work. This is a real time-saver and makes it so there are less dishes to clean overall. We love them.
I never, *ever* had a cup of coffee without getting a mouth full of grinds - from first sip to last. The idea of a portable coffee press appealed to me, and it's still a great idea, but this is the last Bodum product I will ever purchase. It didn't matter how coarse the grounds were, or how carefully I attempted to make the coffee. I owned one before, and thought that perhaps I'd bought a defective product because other people claimed that theirs worked well, so I thought I would give them another try. Never again. I love coffee presses, and have owned several in the past without complaint (except the other Bodum) but I'll never purchase one from Bodum again. It's simply not worth the few dollars I thought I would save.
It makes a really good cup of coffee and I can leave the house with it, less dishes. I don't drink a lot of coffee anymore but I know what a good cup of coffee is. I've had several different small single cup coffee makers and this one by far is the coolest and best. Surprisingly it keeps the coffee warmer than other self contained travel presses I've had. All in all, I'd buy this one again.
