It interested me that the reviews for this item were so mixed & wondered how most people found it excellent whilst a few found it dire... Seeing that it is manufactured by LeXpress (I already have their excellent 8 cup double walled pot), I went ahead & purchased it for the house anyway (my double waller resides in the caravan).My notes following use:1) It is well made & sturdy.2) The top is a slightly loose fit (the subject of some negative comments), although it is pretty intuitive to place a finger on the plunger finial as you pour. The finial does not transfer the heat adequately enough to burn your finger.3) Despite it looking like the filter is a nice tight fit as it travels up & down within the cafetiere,a few grains (and the normal coffee "dust") do appear in the bottom of your cup... Especially with the last cup.I am however used to other cafetieres doing this & as it is by no means excessive I am personally not at all bothered by it (others may differ).4) Unlike my excellent double walled cafetiere from the same manufacturer, this is a single skinned variety which is reflected in the £10 price difference. The fact that stainless steel does transfer heat better than glass is a given fact, and the simple solution is to douse the pot with a good slug of boiling water before use (the old adage of "warm the pot" is the key). I don't bother doing this with my double walled pot, as although some heat is lost on initial contact, the thermal properties of that pot still keep it to an acceptable temperature.I find that this cafetiere (the single skinned one) actually serves HOTTER coffee when I warm the pot as described... You just cannot leave it sitting around for as long...Another solution is to purchase a quirky cafetiere warmer/jacket (available here on Amazon).5) Mine pours really well (without any drips or dribbles). Some reviewers however state the opposite as their experience. As far as I can see, this can therefore only be due to slight manufacturing flaws.Overall I have found this a really good product for the money. Sure, glass cafetieres are more heat efficient, but they also break (very easily) & I have lost count of the ones I have replaced over the years.I do take on board the other reviews that state genuine issues, and put these down to manufacture flaws... The slightest irregularity in the bore of the cafetiere (for example) will cause grains to bypass the filter & fluid to squirt up qhen you press the plunger.This product is dispatched via Amazon themselves (not a "marketplace" affiliate), and so return is simple & hassle free should you get a "duffer".Knowing how decent this cafetiere is, I would then advise ordering a replacement rather than giving up completely..I have been pretty ruthless here & knocked a star off for the very few grains that appear at the bottom of my cup (although they appear to me to be no more evident than with most other cafetieres), otherwise I can find little to complain about.

Like lots of other reveiwers I was fed up with breaking the glass liners of regular cafetieres, and I ordered this when I was cafetiere-less, having broken 2 liners in quick succession.I must admit that if I had read the reveiws before ordering I might have been hesitant - this one leaks, it doesn't fill a mug ... well, it fills a regular-size UK mug perfectly and mine certainly doesn't leak. It also pours much much better than glass cafetieres which tend to dribble (well, mine always did ... ).I am so pleased with this, and hopefully it'll last me a life-time. In my opinion, if you buy it you won't be disappointed!

I have mixed feeling about this cafetiere; I have no problem with the pouring, but we have had one before and the nuts and screws come loos on the filter section and then the filter does not work properly and the lid tends to move when pouring. On the other hand we have had ours a long time and the filter has only just begun to let a few coffee grains through. It keeps the coffee beautifully hot and I would buy one again; much more practical than the glass ones.

What a gorgeous coffee press. Really pleased with this - it looks good, filters most of the coffee grinds to produce a smooth, delicious cuppa. I've always wanted a stainless steel cafetier and I'm so happy with this.If you follow the instructions and warm the pot before it does keep coffee warmer than a glass one and won't break!! Result!

After dropping or cracking my last three glass cafetieres I am thrilled with this reasonably priced stainless steel one. It keeps the coffee hot for longer (and its not a thermal lined one). It also is very generous at 1Lt so you can make coffee for more friends. I don't think I will ever go back to glass cafetieres again - great product!!

I nearly didn't buy this item because of the reviewer who couldn't pour his coffee from it. I'm glad I ignored that guy because it's absolutely fine and easy to pour from. It looked quite small when I got it out of the box but three cups equals one mug for me so it's great for use at work. Overall I'm very pleased with it.

Nice looking pot for filter coffee. Hoped the plunging action would have been a little better refined but some of the coffee granuals escape up through the side of the mesh. Never the less this is a good bog standard coffee pot for regular use and most importantly of all, it will not smash when it falls over!

The stainless steel construction looks really stylish but you cannot see how much coffee you have poured. However since I have broken previous glass versions I can easily overlook this point. It is really only a two cup or one mug capacity but perfect for my breakfast mug of coffee.Love it..

This item is exactly as described. I have found it to pour fine. Best of all it will not break, unlike the previous glass ones I have owned. I wanted this size to make one mug of coffee for myself instead of having to guess at half filling the large sized one, it fits the bill perfectly.

This stainless steel cafetiere is not expensive, looks good and most importantly for someone who smashes glass cafetiers just by looking at them cannot be broken. Provided you charge it with hot water first, it is perfect. All you then need is some decent coffee to put in it...

thought i'd smashed my glass cafetiere so asked hubby to get me a stainless one for xmas. keeps the coffee hot for quite a while. polished nicely, it looks lovely when serving the coffee. found my glass one at back of cupboard but wont go back to it now. recommended

Makes a good cup of coffee for one. Would be great if it was insulated and after using daily for 4 months a small amount of grounds go through the filter and end up in the cup, but decent quality for the price you pay

After breaking so many glass coffee pots, this sleek stainless steel cafetiere is fantastic. No more worries about chips and cracks, it goes in the dishwasher and does a fab job. Coffee stays hot for longer too.

Exactly what I've been looking for. Well made, solidly built, this is going to last. Very nice smoith plunger action. Nothing really to go wrong with it tbh. Only seeing replacing it, if someone steals it. ?
