Comments

Volker Behnke: Die Kanne gefällt uns in jeder Hinsicht, sie ist optisch schön, funktioniert gut und nicht zu groß (ca.2 Tassen). Uns begleitet sie auf Reisen, insbesondere in Hotels, wenn man den ersten Kaffee im Bett genießen will und keine Lust auf Instantkaffee hat.

John M.: Great heat conservation, but you can't see how much coffee is left. I still use it regularly, but I now know exactly how much coffee we get , so it's ok. Also, it would be good to have a mark on the lid to show where the "full pour" setting and another on the "closed off" setting.

Gadgeteer1066: Bought this as a replacement for one that was getting on in years. I saw the capacity was bigger, but didn't appreciate how much more coffee this pot held. It's because the sides are not straight up, but bow out towards the centre.
It's well made and looks good. Performs as expected.
Very, very happy

adam: You can't fill this caffetiere to its true 1.5ltr capacity on account of the cap and filters so this doesn't do the full stated servings... depending on your mug size, maybe 3.5 average coffee mugs, not the 4 stated.

Also, the inside is brushed steel which is a pain to get coffee oils out of thus eventually tainting your coffee taste.

RatRat: For anyone who wonders THIS PRODUCT IS MADE IN CHINA. When I placed my order I was thinking that maybe it is made in Europe as I read in one review. It is not. I purchased another one for another brand for a lower price and they are identical. I did like the fact that it is all stainless steel ( no plastic at all) and the coffee is good and stays warm compared to glass french press where by the time I added the milk to the coffee it was already cold. With this type of press you get hot coffee and tastes great. What I didn't like was the fact that this particular item was priced high compared to other products and I was expecting for a higher quality. Well the welding job is very poorly done, there is yellow stuff all around the area where the handle was welded to the body and one corner was sticking out completely . I added some pictures so you have an idea. These defects is not something I couldn't live with it just bothered me the fact that they are present in a such an expensive item. By the way the three cups advertised are not three regular measuring cups. It is only about 12 oz.in size so if you are looking to make more than one coffee you should get a bigger one.

Monkey_Trick: I bought this to replace a 3-cup glass cafetière because I wanted to keep the water hot throughout the brewing process. It does the job well.

The first point to note is that cafetières that are advertised as 3-cup are really one-cup if you're using a normal coffee cup, so this is a one-person cafetière. All manufacturers describe them that way. It's just some weird convention. If you want to make coffee for more than one person, don't buy a 3-cup.

The second point is that the double-walled construction of the pot is meant to keep the water temperature in the optimal brewing range during the 4 minutes of brewing. Single-walled cafetières can let the temperature drop out of the critical range during brewing. The temperature of the water should be between 91C and 96C, as close to 96C as possible for as much of those four minutes as possible. Boiling water will scald the coffee so you need to leave the kettle for about a minute after boiling before you pour it.

Don't forget to prime the cafetière first with boiling water so that the water temperature doesn't drop too much when you put the water in. I haven't tried keeping coffee hot in it for longer than the...

In ministry: Excellent. In the past 3 years, I purchased 2 Pyrex Bodum french presses, which I really liked. However, over the years, both carafes broke. So I wanted something that was shatterproof. I didn't want to purchase the plastic ones since I was concerned about the leaching of chemicals into the hot water. So my only option was to go stainless steel. I was hesitant to get this one b/c of the price & b/c I was not familiar with this company, but looking back, I wish I had begun with this one. It's been excellent so far, and I'm hoping it will hold up for a long time. It's just as good as my Bodums, without the worry of it breaking.

analog guy: Simply put, the Grunwerg Café Ole makes great coffee! I expected (and got) great results from feshly ground premium beans, but I was surprised how good pre-ground supermarket coffee could taste when prepared in a coffee press. I chose this one after reading some not-so-enthusiastic reviews of the glass models. The double wall design does keep the coffee hot during the brewing process, and the filter screen is quite effective at trapping the grounds and keeping them out of your cup. The rounded shape and polished finish look as good in person as they do in the pictures. There are no plastic parts, and on the whole the design, materials, and construction seem to be first rate. (The knob at the top may or may not be stainless steel, as it is a slightly different color, more like chrome plating. We'll see how it holds up.)

I heat my water in the microwave in a glass measuring cup, and I find that using the 330 ml metric graduation provides exactly the right amount to fill the press to capacity. That yields about 11 fluid ounces of finished coffee, a comfortable fit for many of our mugs.

Some reviewers have commented on imperfections in the brazed joint that attaches the...

dream_devil1956: The Grunwerg Cafe Ole BFD-03 is the best quality French press I've seen yet. You will never have to worry about chipping or breaking this thing. I'm fairly clumsy and I was forced to retire my (very expensive) Hario double glass walled French press. I had accidentally chipped the pour spout on the Hario a few months ago and it gradually continued cracking around the front of the top rim in spite of my efforts to be extra careful. It finally got to the point that it was nearly impossible to pour the coffee without making a mess. Until I began researching for a replacement, I didn't know that you could get a French press made entirely of stainless steel. Grunwerg was a name totally unknown to me until I saw their offerings listed here at Amazon. I really like my coffee but I rarely drink more than a couple of 6 oz. cups daily. After stumbling across the listing for the Cafe Ole BFD-03, I was impressed enough by the description (and the reasonable price) to take a chance. And am I glad I did. You only have to glance at it to realize the very high quality of the metal construction, giving this French press a very long lasting durability.

The Cafe Ole BFD-03 is very visually...
