Title: Innovative design - poor functionality
Review: I wanted a small stylish French press. This press is designed such that you fill the filter basket with coffee, then place it in the pot and pour in the water through small holes in the lid. After brewing, you pull the plunger UP until the filter basket locks into the top. After removing the lid for clean-up, you turn the plunger clockwise and push to disengage the filter basket. Therein lays my first problem. There is a small detachable piece designed to both grip & release the plunger rod. On the first try, the piece detached and the plunger would not disengage the filter basket. Repeatedly the plastic piece continued to pop off. As to the rest of the process, filling the filter basket with coffee is tedious in order to avoid making a mess. Pouring water through the small holes in the top is also a slow procedure. I returned the product for a refund. My advice, stick with the original French press design like the Bodum or BonJour lines of presses.
