great french press, easy to clean, takes up little space on the counter and looks good, makes about 3 cups of coffee. just put your coffee in, about a scoop per cup, pour in hot water, stir it up if you'd like, and press. faster than a coffee maker, the coffee is great, and you can use the same hot water for any tea drinkers in the household. don't have to change out filters. just pour any remaining coffee into the sink, rinse out any remaining grinds, and it's good to go. dishwasher safe, but just as easy to hand wash.
