If you're someone who drinks 2 pots of coffee daily, this product will not be for you as it makes only about 2 decently strong cups of coffee at a time. It is nice that it's a press style and the polymer it is made out of has held up thus far to my uses (I have owned and use daily for 6 months).I know users have posted pictures of discoloration, but I have not had this problem at all, perhaps the company addressed the issue or has to do with cleaning habits (I rinse everything after each use not just the plunger rubber.
