I love this French press.  The design is sleek and modern, it is heavyweight, and there is no glass carafe to break (the reason why we needed to buy a new one!).  My one complaint is that if you push the plunger even the tiniest bit too fast, coffee sprays out of the spout like a fountain.  Now, French presses should be pressed very slowly anyway for the best coffee, but you really, REALLY have to with this one, or you will be cleaning up a lot of coffee and grounds.
