After my glass French press broek after just a few months, I bought a similar steel French press in 2015 for $35 and still use it nearly every day!

I lost 3 glass ones before I discovered a stainless steal for the first time 10 years ago, still have it and use it everyday. The falls bend and dinged it but never shattered!

Might want to get the prongs on the ring setting checked. They're not supposed to catch like that.

I have one of these. I used to actually use it for its intended purpose, but now I use it for pour overs instead. Coffee tastes better.

I am a diehard french press user. I will drink or make coffee from anything, even an old soup can and a sock if i have to. but given the option I will reach for the press every time.
you sir/maam have the penultimate french press. it appears to be the final boss of French Press the game. I now search for a similar item on amazon to quell my french press envy

We had something similar to that, good brand. The metal knob broke off. Normal usage, I was pretty pissed.

All right if the oven door slides up it makes a bit more sense, still seems incredibly unsafe for kind of a small design win though

These are great! Mine gets super discolored and coated from herbal tea, but a quick soak with Power Brew Wash makes it look like new! Highly recommend the PBW for SS and anything else.

I’ve had a glass French press for years , how are all of you breaking your French presses so frequently?
Are you just jamming on them as hard and fast as possible?? Go slow!
Side note, the stainless ones are nice too. French press makes great coffee

I’ve had the Freiling one since 2009. It does t really keep coffee hot but it is incredibly well built.

Omg, I love these sheets. They feel like what my grandmother had on her beds. I even have a sheet that was my grandmother’s to compare it to. These sheets are absolutely the best.

I got the same one. It's serving me everyday for the last 5 years.

I have a similar brand called Espro; would be nice if that and my Mokapot made more than my smallest freaking coffee cup.

Sorry I don't have any suggestions, but I'm in the same boat looking for something similar. Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere near that budget so I might have to get lucky at the thrift store. Still interested to see what brands people have in mind. Good luck!

My ring catches on the towels resulting in several loose strings from drying my hands already :(
Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with them. I've had them about 7 months now.

And from my experience, will also last at least 10 years. My mom's old miele appliances were replaced because of power efficiency after 20 smth years, not because they broke down

I also like how it keeps the water hot when brewing, whereas heat escapes the water quickly in glass.
