Hold My beans! -hot coffee for hours!
I decided to buy this French press after my previous one broke, with the primary purpose of using it for brewing coffee. I was pleasantly surprised by the durability and sturdiness of the filter set, which is equipped with a high-quality mesh. This ensures that the coffee grounds are effectively separated, resulting in a smooth and flavorful cup of coffee.One standout feature of this French press is its exceptional heat retention. After pouring hot water and allowing the coffee to steep, I found that the press was highly effective at preserving the temperature throughout the brewing process. This means that each cup of coffee I pour from the French press remains delightfully hot, allowing me to savor the flavors for a longer time.Furthermore, the design and construction of this French press are solid and reliable. The materials used are of good quality, giving me confidence that it will withstand regular use for years to come. Its sleek appearance also adds a touch of elegance to my coffee brewing routine.Having experienced the excellent performance and durability of this French press, I am genuinely looking forward to many enjoyable years of brewing and sipping hot, delicious coffee from it. It has become an essential part of my daily coffee ritual, and I highly recommend it to any coffee lover seeking a reliable and long-lasting brewing option.

Solidly made, perfect size for large early morning coffee
I travel extensively with my job, both in Europe and USA. it always surprises me just how poor tea and coffee making provision is. Now, I have to confess, I'm not a morning kind of guy and need a serious, European style strong, large coffee to get things working in the morning. This MIRA coffee pot is the perfect size, 20 fluid oz ( for you 'Mericans) or 600 ml ( for us "rest of the World " people). In case you are wondering, this is a seriously large cup. The MIRA is, frankly, pretty bomb proof. Solidly made, and all Stainless steel construction, so very easy to rinse and clean. it is small enough to fit, even in carry on luggage. It comes with three spare stainless steel plunger filters and keeps the coffee really hot whilst you make the coffee then shower and get yourself mobile in the morning. Should you want to, you can even make noodle meals in it ( those who travel loads and arrive at the hotel after the restaurant has closed will understand this). Quality piece of kit. I will not be leaving to travel without it. Awesome.

Mira for the win
I love this french press! It is just what I need. I have had it for a little while now and have had no issues. It keeps my coffee hot for a good bit of time and is great for just me,insted of buying one that is meant for a couple people. I saw a few reviews that said the paint started to come off but I haven't had that issue with mine, it may be because I hand wash it.

Great french press, just not vacuum insulated
This is a very good french press made of food grade stainless steel. I'm quite happy with the quality of the coffee it makes. I didn't detect any metallic taste. The filter on it is the standard, single, stainless steel screen. It came with 3 replacement screens, which is a nice touch. Like other french presses I've used, it leaves a little fine sediment (aka "sludge") in the bottom of the mug. Maybe that's caused by the way I grind the coffee. I don't have a fancy burr grinder.The size is advertised as 20 oz. You can't actually make 20 oz of coffee with it. I think the maximum you could make without spilling coffee grounds out of the spout is about 18 oz. It's enough for my large morning mug of coffee.What made me take off one star is that this press is not especially well insulated. It's clearly not vacuum insulated. It will keep coffee hot longer than a glass french press, but an hour later it's going to be cold. I'm ok with that. I just want to drink the first half very slowly and then pour the rest of it.

Make Note of the Size
This is my first French press and it works great using a coarse grind. I never thought of myself (still don't) as a coffee aficionado, but I like the mouth feel of the pressed coffee versus my drip maker. I took one star off of Easy to Clean because it takes a bit more effort than a pot with a paper filter, but that is the nature of the press. I'm not complaining. This is a 17 oz. press, so I can make one 8- or 10-oz. cup at a time, not two as I was anticipating, but that is not the fault of the press. I like the design a whole lot; mine is the color blue. It's nice to have this morning ritual, a calming and focused few minutes.
