 Don't waste your money March 13, 2008
K. Orlic (New York)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought one of these at my local Starbucks (same brand, same mug). It is the biggest piece of garbage. I am a big tea drinker. Even the large leaf teas sneak through the sides of the plunger. The rubber ring around the plunger gives too easily. I thought what a great idea, I can brew right in my mug rather than through my tea filer and transfer it to a travel mug. No go. Not worth the aggravation.
I couldn't imagine how many coarsely ground coffee grinds I would have in my mug when I have a ton of large tea leaves.
I am surprised, since I have other Bodum products that are actually very good.
Do yourself a favor, save your money.
 Mediocre - lots of grounds in my coffee March 3, 2008
Geeky Engineer (Dearborn, Michigan USA)
I found the Bodum 16-ounce coffee press to be tolerable, but not as good as other coffee presses. The flimsy plastic seal around the strainer often allows coffee grounds to get past. I tried various brewing techniques but I couldn't get consistently good results. I switched back to my glass-and-metal coffee press.
I expected to get two mugs of coffee from the 16-ounce press, but I only got one and a half mugs, due to the "dead space" below the plunger. I was also irritated that they delivered a coffee press with the Bodum logo "give up bad coffee for good". I ordered a plain one because I don't like advertising!
Decent but could be better. February 12, 2008
P. Branson (Buffalo, NY USA)
Pros: The is the perfect size to make one cup at a time. Dishwasher safe and plastic means easy to clean and durable enough to take on the road (or trail). The included directions are clear and concise. Low price.
Cons: The seal at the edge of the filter is just a silicone wiper seal (sort of like a squeegee), and does not seal with enough authority to keep all grounds from slipping past, though only a couple and with a little bit of practice, even less. The instructions suggest adding any cream and sugar through the opening in the lid, which is way to small for the task, at least without making a mess. You would be better off to pour your brew into another mug and doing your mixing there. Additionally, unless you pour your tea into another mug, this is not a great choice, as the press would merely hold the leaves down and not stop the steeping process. If you need this for home/office use, you are better off with a glass model (such as one from their Chambord line Bodum Chambord 12-Cup (6 US cups) Coffee Press) which has a better filter/seal system and larger capacity.
 great little gadget! February 5, 2008

It takes a few brews to get your preferred flavor, but it's a good and quick cuppa java. I bought it for backpacking, but I use it all the time at home for a single cup.

I got it for tea. And it doesn't keep the tea leaves down on the other hand, all the water trapped bellow the net doesn't spill.... so it's fine enough to keep water down, but still lets tea leaves through? I'd love a physics person to explain it to me.
PROS: Super insulated nice spout, and can use without the cover feels like a glass.
