Very well made, solid, good materials etc - should last a long time. But it is a little finicky to use. For the cost I would expect more. 
     *Lid is very loose so I have to hold it still when pushing down the plunger or it ((the plunger) wobbles and doesn't go down properly. It is hot to the touch too.
     *Many times it drips A LOT when pouring and I still can't figure out what makes this happen or why it only happens sometimes. 
     *If you fill it too full coffee grounds will pour into your cup. You just have to guesstimate what is 'too full'
If it were not for these little annoyances I would rate this 5 star.
