Promising review: "My wife and I have been using a French press for over 25 years. The problem was we had a large one from another company that wouldn't quite make enough coffee for both our consumption, which caused a second pot to have to be made. I searched for and found this large 59oz French press and bought it. We have been surprised and elated at the press doing a fantastic job. Not only do we make less than the total press capacity, but we have the option to make more than we usually make if we need to (like a rough night!). Also the press cleaned up easily and completely! We love this French press. The only problem is that we didn't buy it SOONER!" -Robert Corriveau
