I bought this a month ago and haven’t used it yet, but I cleaned it out to make sure it doesn’t leak. Looks very nice! I wish the smaller one came with a countertop stand too. The mesh looks very fine so it should be good withholding back coffee grind residue, but the mesh also seems more fragile than I expected.finally, I wish the lid was more sealed than it is, but not a huge deal.
