"French Press Works As Expected"
I never owned a French Press coffee maker before. This one works as expected. It is in reality a one cup serving size. Saying 3 cups must be for demitasse size cups. It is easy to use and a quick way to grab one cup on the way to work in the morning. It features a screen when pouring to filter out any grinds that may have slipped through in the press process.

"Good coffee but SO SMALL!"
Great coffee but I wish I would have read more reviews first. I LOVE coffee and this is not 3 cups worth. Even if I filled to the brim it is about 12 ounces. Since you're not supposed to fill it that full it is approx. 8.5-9.5oz. I want more!! I would have bought a bigger one had I known that someone doesn't know how to measure in ounces. Oh well.

"Missing"
The item arrived broken and my daughter says she never received the replacement that the company sent.

"No better French press than Bonjour"
Bodum may have bought the original inventor the Melior companywho produced "La cafetiere"(The coffee maker) and does to this day produce a luxury line for Bodum.
Bonjour(Good Day!) improved on theBodum several lines by a.)inserting an ultra fine filter in the pouring path, eliminating the'mud in the last sip(this fault is in the coffee grinder which produces some or much powder, known as 'fines' which is desirable only when brewing Turkish/Greek style coffee in a special cone shaped brewer known as an 'Ibrik' or by similar names depending on the country.In all other coffee making methods, 'fines' are a bane: in the Frnch presses they creep through the main filter(the plunger) and end up as detritus in the cup.In drip style coffee-making, the introduce extra strength but it makes the coffee bitter. Few coffee grinders, including some costing several hundred dollars, manage a grind devoid of 'fines'which will affect even the best espresso, made by champion 'baristas'(coffee making equivalent to 'chef') in the most formidable espresso machine costing several thousand dollars.I strongly reccommend the Bodum 'Antigua' burr grinder which is only $69.95 at amazom or A A Bree(shipping included and at A A Bree- no tax either)as it produces NO fines whatsoever at any setting(hey:it is quality made in Denmark, NOT China!comes with a real manual in good English. I does have one flaw:it cannot grind fineenough for true espresso except in Bodum's idiosyncratic espresso machine and in stove-top espresso-like drinks.
Back to Bonjour: Yes, they have stainless models(the Monet nd Eiffel lines resembling the Bodum and Melior standards but the extra price does not ontribute to better quality coffee and removes stability:the Hugo line, which is all black non slip plastic, sports a built-in detachable coaster that truly anchors the presspot to th ubiquitous Fomica or granite like countertop in modern kitchens. The 'unbreakable' models use carafes made from polycarbonateplastic(like GE's Lexan):They're truly tough but will not stay as clear as the all glass carafes which are quite tough, being made from BOro-Silicate"HI-Temp glass. So if you're not a real 'klutz'(butter fingered) the regular models will be best.About 'cups', the european standard(tasses) prevails an the 3 cup model produces barelyenough bew to fill one of our standard 10 ounce mugs. The eight ounce cup is strictly an american baking/kitchen term: no one elses'son the planet, so let's not complain about this .Bonjour show the true capacity on the box in US fluid ounces. a final exhortastion: read the damned little manual or read up on French press coffee on the web. peruse Sweet Maria .com for more coffee info that is provided by any manufacturer.

"3 sips, not 3 cups. So tiny I laughed."
I have no idea why this product is marketed as a 3 cup. After adding the ground coffee you'll barely get enough water in it to make a standard mug/cup. I don't know about you but a cup of coffee for me is actually a Cup in measure. The quality is good but the rubber base should be removed before microwave heating or it gets too hot (nearly melted).
Hugo says this thing is "Unbreakable" but I don't want to test it out since it feels like tempered glass. Yes I know what Polycarbonate or Lexan feel like.
