This is superbly crafted with no plastic parts.  The brushed stainless steel goes well with kitchen appliances.  Clean up is a breeze with either hand washing or dishwasher.  My only complaint is the quantity of coffee it produces.  With the coffee grinds inside the press pot, the 42 ounces advertised becomes more like 32 ounces.  This yields two large mugs of coffee.  So, if you want more you'll need to make another batch.  I don't think they create a larger size in brushed stainless steel.  Great for weekend mornings...but not so great as your weekday means of making coffee.
