So good I bought a second one

I love this French Press so much I bought a second one just in case. The coffee I drink is only from a French press. You can keep all the fancy espresso machines and other gadgets that turn ordinary people into coffee snobs. The Osaka Coffee and Tea Maker took my usual French Press coffee experience to a whole new level. It made what I believe to be the best French Press coffee I've ever made. I would compare this French Press to an Aeropress, which brews more than one cup without filtering out the full flavor of the coffee. Osaka is much better and easier to use. Its unique design keeps debris and coffee grounds out of your cup with ease. Contrary to what one reviewer might say, the Osaka is made from quality materials and is fantastic value for money. Warning: If you are a person with little to no mechanical ability. If you can't do simple disassembly and reassembly. If you are clumsy and prone to dropping things. If you trip over toddlers while making coffee, then this French press isn't for you. You should buy a stainless steel French press. Better yet, stick with instant coffee. Note to Osaka: As a longtime engineer, chef, and coffee maker, I appreciate the hard work that went into the thoughtful design of your coffee maker. But one thing I've learned from engineering over the years is that it's impossible to design something that's "foolproof". There's always a certain segment of the population who couldn't throw water out of a boot when the instructions are written on the heel. Your coffee maker is perfect for me. Excellent work!
