For a better cup of coffee, this is the tool. My drip coffee naker no sits on a self at Goodwill. This press takes up less room on the countertop, and looks better setting there. The cup of coffee you get get from the press is a richer, stronger flavor without the bitter taste you sometimes get. Bonus last night I made a pot of tea with loose tea. Works perfectly no loose tea leaves found in the cup. This is a perfect purchase or gift.
