Customer Review: Don’t waste your money
I bought one of these at my local Starbucks (same brand, same mug). It is the biggest piece of garbage. I am a big tea drinker. Even the large leaf teas sneak through the sides of the plunger. The rubber ring around the plunger gives too easily. I thought what a great idea, I can brew right in my mug rather than through my tea filer and transfer it to a travel mug. No go. Not worth the aggravation.
I couldn’t imagine how many coarsely ground coffee grinds I would have in my mug when I have a ton of large tea leaves.
I am surprised, since I have other Bodum products that are actually very good.
Do yourself a favor, save your money.
Customer Review: Mediocre - lots of grounds in my coffee
I found the Bodum 16-ounce coffee press to be tolerable, but not as good as other coffee presses. The flimsy plastic seal around the strainer often allows coffee grounds to get past. I tried various brewing techniques but I couldn’t get consistently good results. I switched back to my glass-and-metal coffee press.
I expected to get two mugs of coffee from the 16-ounce press, but I only got one and a half mugs, due to the “dead space” below the plunger. I was also irritated that they delivered a coffee press with the Bodum logo “give up bad coffee for good”. I ordered a plain one because I don’t like advertising!
