Excellent French Press. True to the Quality expected of Le Creuset.Fast shipping :) I have two because I decided to use it for my loose tea as well. Fabulous! Keep Coffee & Tea Very Hot,even more so when you pre-heat it with boiling water 1st. Will buy again for all my friends who love their coffee made via French Press. All feel free to use my idea of using this Press for your loose teas. Shalom!
