This is a great product and the Italian coffee is very good. I wanted a coffee press to use on weekends when I have more time to enjoy my coffee. Once I learned how to use it, I was very pleased. This was a great deal and was a present for myself and significant other. I would definitely recommend this product.

I bought two for gifts this holiday season. Both co-workers are heavy coffee drinkers which is a must here in Miami. Hopefully I found the perfect gift at a great price that they will enjoy.

love it love it love it makes excellent coffee

I gave away two of these gifts at Christmas. Here's how the gift disappointed me: the gift recipient had to open up two sets of cardboard boxes to get to the gift. There was no indication on the box what the gift was - no label; no photo; no signage. And while that's not really a big deal, imagine a Christmas gift exchange with family where kids are running around and there's a ton of activity going on. To have to unwrap a gift all the way to the core is a bit inconvenient. Think of it this way, if the gift had been a coffee maker, the recipient wouldn't have been expected to open the box all the way to remove the coffee maker to see what it was. Giving this as a gift, the only way the recipient will know what the gift is will be to open up and take it out. Now, having said that -- it's a very nice quality coffee press for the price.

I bought 4 of these for Christmas gifts and everyone loved theirs - I should have gotten 1 more for myself. Great deal & value
