This stainless steel French Press makes a better brew than glass.  I love the comfort of the handle and the shape. This is my 2nd Bodum and it is an addition to my first one which I have used daily for about 8 years. My original one is still in perfect condition and the filter has never been replaced. I purchased this one for its larger capacity when I have guests. I have also tried Ikea's version of the SS french press whose filter failed after a while and leaked coffee grounds. I'm a huge fan of Bodum Colombia. Quality, style and great tasting coffee make this a winner.
