This review is from: Progressive 8 Cup French Style Coffee & Tea Press
I have used coffee presses for years and this model is great because the carafe is all glass and plastic - no metal. I can put the carafe (minus lid, which does conatin metal) directly in the microwave. I heat the water on high power for 4 1/2 minutes, add coffee grounds, stir, wait a minute, then press. Fast, Simple, Space Saving. I take this on campouts and on vacations, too.

This review is from: Progressive 8 Cup French Style Coffee & Tea Press
We found this French Press, in new condition, at the local Thrift Store. We had no previous experience with this type of coffee maker. We boiled water, put 4 measures of a quality medium grind coffee in the bottom, poured in the hot water, waited a minute, then pressed the filter slowly to the bottom. This method is "idiot-proof"; tasty coffee and minimal fuss. Nice too, is that it takes up little space. It's going on our boat.
