This coffee press makes the best tasting coffee I have ever had! Start with a quality bean that is freshly ground (coarse) and bring cold water to a near boil...and you're on track for superb coffee! No paper filters to buy. Mine is a double-walled flask, which keeps the coffee hot for a longer period of time. I consider myself a "coffee snob"...and this coffee press brings out the best in every coffee. Flavored coffees reach new levels of complexity and taste.
