Title: Filter does not work at all
Product review: As the happy owner of two other Bodum coffee presses, I expected an effective product. The most important function of a coffee press is to separate the grounds from the drink. This coffee press completely failed in that function.Both on medium grind coffee grounds and loose Chinese tea, the press allowed a significant amount of material to pass.For example, 1 mm thick tea branches floated up past the silicone sides.The basic problem is poor design: despite good quality plastics and metal stem, the silicone border is not rigid enough and not large enough to grip the cylinder wall. I do NOT see any material defects in the cup -- it just works poorly.However, the top lid is quite sturdy and comfortable. Useful as an overpriced hot drink mug for cocoa or milk.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
