Review on ☕️ Rite Press Essential Plus: French Press Coffee Maker with Integrated Thermometer, Built-in Hourglass Timer, and Easy-Clean Bottom for Mess-Free Cleanup - 1 L or 34 oz (8 cups) by Emma Santos

In 6 months the price of this French press went from $40 to $8! Says a lot about quality! I bought this 6 months ago when it was $40 and thank god it was a premium product so it was returnable. Suffice it to say this is an absolute piece of junk not even worth the $8 it is currently selling for! First it arrived with a glass scratched in several places and a broken hourglass timer. The box it came in appeared to be in perfect condition, so it wasn't shipping damage. I decided to give the press a try, however, but when I poured hot water into it (and I even made sure it wasn't very hot), the plastic cup started cracking and I saw numerous small tear lines forming. I immediately threw the water away so as not to damage it further, but at that moment I might as well have thrown it in the trash, because that's where it was. Save your $8 and spend it on something worthwhile like two happy meals.
