Product Description
The Brazil works on the same principle as all coffee presses. It combines coarse ground coffee with water that is just off of a boil. This combination along with 4 minutes of extraction time allows the oil and acids that give the coffee it's flavor to be completely extracted so you get a balanced and flavorful cup of coffee each time. After 4 minutes, just press and enjoy. There are no paper filters to soak up the oils, and cleanup is a snap. The 3 Cup Press is 12 oz and yields 3 - 4 oz. cups of coffee.

Reviewer: I. Gross Georg, Edmond, Oklahoma USA
I think you have to be an idiot to not read the directions and complain when you pay the price afterwards. This little machine couldn't be simpler, which suits me as I practice the simple living lifestyle.

Making coffee is a snap. You heat some water, pour an 1/8 cup of coffee (I use Folgers Gourmet Supreme, no fancy grind), pour the not-quite-boiling water into the beaker, gently place the plunger on top but do not press, let it stew for 4 minutes, then plunge slowly as the directions clearly state. I never have a problem with grounds, but I do notice some sediment at the bottom of my cup resembling fine sand. It doesn't hurt.

To call this a three-cup coffee maker is a stretch, unless these are European standards. I usually get one 8-oz serving of coffee out of one batch, which I enjoy after dinner with real half-and-half, not "Coffee-Mate®" artificial creamer.

Don't buy a $40 12-cup electric coffee maker for one or two cups of coffee; reclaim your kitchen counter as well as your inner French girl and go back to basics with this little guy or its bigger brother. If you have common sense you won't regret it.
Perfect size for one incredible cup of coffee!

I did a lot of research before I bought this item so I realized that the cups it referred to were not our typical US cups. I am pleased that they offer this small model, it is perfect for one coffee drinker. It makes a nice sized mug of coffee for one person.
Aside from the size issues, which I understand are confusing. It makes the most incredible coffee, simple & good. It brings coffee to a new level! It is rich & creamy (I use about 1/2 the creamer now!) & it is more full bodied than even the best drip coffee! I don't know if I will ever use my Mr Coffee again. It takes a little work to clean it but it isn't anything to complain about.

I plan on buying a larger model when I need to entertain more than myself but for now this is ideal for just me! The price is great too!
simple and convenient java

A lot of my travel takes me to places where good coffee just isn't found (particulary a lot of former British colonies...). This little device is the solution. As easy to use and clean as almost any french press, although the filter screen does not unscrew from the plunger rod. In a perfect world you wouldn't brew coffee in plastic/polycarbonate, but this carafe stands up to the banging around of travel, and you don't have to worry about finding broken glass shards when you open your suitcase upon arrival. Should be great for camping, too.
Great for the office

Rather than drinking the regular Maxwell House, I bring my own blend of coffee, use the hot water from work and make my own in about 2 minutes. It makes just the right amount.

Unless you are used to French press, you may think the coffee is murky, but a little smudge in the bottom of my mug doesn't scare me.
Freshest possible coffee and EASY to use

Reviewer: S. Albertini, Over here
I've used coffee presses for years. They are practically idiot-proof. Reviewer "HW" is pressing the plunger down too fast and may not have stirred after adding the hot water to the grounds, that's all.

But the fun part is that they are utterly durable and reliable, and in this size, even portable. We have two at home and I have one at work. Each makes one perfectly sized mugful at a time.

The only time I have managed to break anything on a coffee press is when I put the glass in the dishwasher and it clonked up against something. Even then, Bodum often offers replacement glass.

Presses are even usable to steep tea (don't use the same press for both, but at this price, you can get a pair).
