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

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
