I have never owned a french press before. Honestly, I never understood what they were for. This has been an awesome addition to my kitchen. The coffee I make in it is absolutely a game-changer!

The Press is fine, the chocolate needs more sugar than I thought but is tasty.

I did not realize the glass was removable. The third time I used it, I went on dump the grounds and out it came. Shattering all over the floor. I stood there for a moment with my mouth open, then I started the cleanup process.

Other than that it is pretty good.

I very much enjoyed my French press, using it about once or twice a week for several months. The taste and consistency of the brewed Cacao is much better using the French Press than in a coffee maker (yes I did buy the coffee maker filter and have used it multiple times). My only issue with the French Press is that while washing it last week, we aren't sure what happened, but we pulled it out of the soapy water and found a 2 in diameter hole at the bottom. I came on this site to buy a replacement glass for it and can't find a replacement glass available. I did not read the comments before purchasing this item in December otherwise I wouldn't have been surprised when the glass broke. I just hope I can find a replacement glass on Amazon that fits this press since Crio Bru doesn't seem to have a replacement glass that I can purchase. If I missed it in my searching, Crio Bru, please let me know!

Third time I used it, and while washing the glass carafe I bumped the side of the sink and it broke! I couldn't believe it -- but based on the other comments, I'm not the only one who has had this experience. Where can I get a replacment glass carafe? Do I really have to buy a whole new press??

The cacao is great, and I highly recommend it.

But the carafe is a dealbreaker for me. I should probably just buy a french press on Amazon!
