 I really like this little press. April 30, 2008
Just got it yesterday so durability concerns will just have to "wait-see". Holds just enough for my sister and I to have two cups apiece (we don't use mugs, just coffee cups, but not those dainty dinky cups) and of course pressed coffee is wonderful. I have a blade grinder and my beans were the last of the batch and really not all that fresh, but...the coffee still tasted better than the drip pot with commercially ground canned coffee. I can hardly wait until my new batch of beans get here. Caffeine nirvana! As for the problem mentioned about the plastic "nut" stripping, I think I will take a little trip to my local hardware store and pick up a nut and washer or two....just in case. I also don't wash things like this in the dishwasher, I know they are supposed to be dishwasher safe, but in my experience relatively fragile items last much longer if they are hand-washed despite manufacturers promises of dishwasher invincibility.
I am very happy with the press and I hope to have a long and happy association with it, and for the price...well, it can't be beat and Amazon's shipping, as always was fast.
Nice new coffee press!! April 28, 2008
This is my second press by this manufacturer. Worth every penny, this particular press has a plastic housing to help protect the glass. Great idea. This one will last.
 Glass Breaks Too Easily April 16, 2008

DO NOT BUY ANY BODUM COFFEE OR TEA PRESS THAT CONTAINS GLASS. BODUM USES A SPECIAL BOROSILICATE GLASS THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.
I love Bodum Coffee Presses. But I would NEVER recommend anyone buy one with a glass beaker. You will need to replace the beaker frequently, since the special glass Bodum uses is extremely fragile, and breaks repeatedly for no apparent reason at all. I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up. Make no mistake, you do not have to bang the glass against anything for it to break. It simply cracks spontaneously for no apparent reason
Bodum has come out with some presses with a LEXAN clear plastic beaker.
These do not break. I assume they came out with the LEXAN product because of problems with the glass. Be warned.
If you do buy this product, buy a half dozen replacement beakers at the same time. You will need them.
 Not this particular model April 13, 2008

French pressed coffee is far superior to drip, and Bodum presses are generally great. However, this one (New Kenyan) uses a plastic nut to hold the filter pieces together. The pressure of pushing the filter down strips the nut, and the coffee maker is unusable at that point. I returned this one and got the Bodum Young press instead -- although it's a few dollars more, the nut is metal and it's really a better made product altogether.
 I like it April 9, 2008

I have wanted a coffee press for awhile. I really like my coffee and I like to drink it black. I like the taste. Many people are drinkers because of the additives they put in the coffee before they drink it, like the flavorings and sugars. Anyway, this is a very good coffee press. No coffee grounds getting out and ending up in the coffee cup. The container is very sturdy and it cleans up nicely. The coffee is great tasting. I like to be able to make my coffee a bit weaker than some so it is pretty easy to do the taste test. Very good purchase.
