Review on GROSCHE Zurich French Press Coffee Maker - Purple, 11.8 fl oz, 3 Demitasse Cup, 350 ml - Stainless Steel Coffee Press with Filter by Christy Rodriguez

I had to replace the glass I bought at the hardware store because the glass is cracked where the floor meets the wall. I thought the bottom would break when making coffee, so I retired it. I've always tried not to drop it and switch from hot to cold content. Glasses made of tempered glass do not tolerate sudden changes in temperature. I bought a replacement from Revain and it works great - just like the original before the crack. Pros: Makes a great cup of coffee. Easy to clean. Just rinse the thick with hot water. From time to time I put it in the dishwasher. You don't really need fancy coffee grounds unless that's your preference. I use good old Colombian Drip Grind Folgers in a can. I don't know how much a cup is, but a lot cheaper than the Keurig that my wife and son drink at 50 cents a cup (discounted). I use Keurig when I don't feel like messing around with a French Press. This large FP fits under our Keurig (when the pan is removed) and this is my AM hot water source. Take out my MojoEmo (20 oz) insulated mug, stir and replace and squeeze 9 oz. Brew button again and voila! Glass with the right amount of hot coffee. The strainer on the plunger catches the bottom very well and I can enjoy a cup of cheap bottomless coffee compared to the expensive Keurig if I choose. There is also a net on the lid that catches every stray cat. Nice soft rubber ring on the bottom to protect the beaker (if it doesn't fall off) Cons: There's nothing to say about that as there's a basic lab beaker with an ergonomic handle, strainer and lid BUT I had to replace my original one because of me I think it's a stress crack. Not quite through the glass, but I didn't want to tempt fate. The rubber ring fell off and I ended up throwing it away. The new replacement doesn't have this problem and stays as it should. This mug must be handled with care. This is a mug that can break if dropped or if the temperature changes abruptly. I recommend letting the jar cool to room temperature before rinsing. I give it five stars because it's quick and easy to "manage" and because I can use the Keurig as a hot water source for the amount of coffee I want. I couldn't find another FP that would match my 20 oz. coffee go to work. Oh, and I almost forgot. It doesn't cost much money.
