Review on Bellemain French Press Double Walled Insulated 304 Stainless Steel Coffee Maker: 20 oz, 5 Cup Capacity, Micro Mesh Filtration, Rust Free, Dishwasher Safe by Rosemary Veliz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice French press BUT.

Overall nice product. Of the many I've looked at (all similar and made in China), Bellemain's promotional photos show the longest piston rod. See attached photos. BUT, it was shorter by 15-20mm (0.6-08 inches) compared to the Francois et Mini I currently use and the previous glass 1 liter version which broke. How much can a stupid extension of the stainless steel stem by 12-20 mm cost? Of course I would have liked a longer plunger so I could push it all the way down like the old models did and they served me well. See the four (4) analysis images for details 2) Also, the plunger handle, the underside, has a noticeably sharp edge when pulled. If this radius was the same as above it would be awesome or just a round button. A star is intended to draw sellers' attention to these issues and the possible solutions they can offer. If I chose I would be a happy 5 star customer. Let's see what's up.

Pros
  • stock
Cons
  • thin
