This was an impulse buy at Whole Foods a couple of months ago. I am so sorry I didn't come to Amazon ahead of time to read these reviews; I would have saved myself $20. This Coffee Press STINKS!! I use it on a medium grind coffee, and have tons of coffee grounds in my cup of coffee EVERYDAY. I hate it! I have tried every different way of plunging I can think of, but grounds still escape the filter. I don't even drink out of the plastic cup. I add the coffee grounds, then the water, let it steep and then pour it into a regular coffee mug. I then scrap out as many "floaters" as I can manage and still end up with a cup full of coffee grinds.Very poor design execution. Please save your money.
