Title: Filter does not work at all
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.
