Amazon.com Review
Most coffee roasters and tea buyers recommend using a coffee or tea press to enjoy the beverages at their best, but the devices have typically offered one major disadvantage--the brewed coffee or tea cooled quickly within the glass carafe. The Bodum Columbia thermal press overcomes this shortcoming with its double-walled stainless-steel construction, which insulates hot coffee or tea to keep it warm for up to two hours. The end result is a rich, flavorful beverage with perfectly extracted flavors and aromas. To use the Columbia press for coffee, grind fresh beans to a coarse consistency, add 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water, then add hot water and brew for four to five minutes before plunging the press. Tea brews in the same manner, but with whole tea leaves instead. The press holds up to 48 ounces of liquid--enough for 12 small cups of coffee (4 ounces each)--and features Bodum's patented safety lid to keep the contents from spilling. For best results, users should dedicate the press to brewing one beverage only, as coffee and tea flavors tend to cross over when brewed separately in the same vessel. The Columbia coffee and tea press is dishwasher-safe. --Rivers Janssen

 Large Thermal French Press November 16, 2008
L. Arcieri (Fremont, CA United States)
We recently discovered the french press method for making coffee. This method is quick and simple and produces a rich cup of coffee. The presses I could find were small and I found myself making many batches when we had guests.
This large french press will make enough coffee to serve 5-6 people with one batch. It also keeps the coffee warm for a long period of time. I also found that this press produces a cleaner coffee with fewer grounds getting past the filter. Although a bit pricey, I would recommend this product.

While my only other coffee press experience has been a small 5-cup glass press I used for 6 months in the desert... I'm more than happy with this one! Holds much more, stays hot and easy to clean overall.
 Perfect size for a crowd September 11, 2008
V. Douglas
I frequently have guests over for coffee, and this is the perfect size so I do not have to brew 2 pots. And it keeps the coffee warm for a significant amount of time.
Making coffee & tea just got better August 10, 2008

Been using this press for about three months now. Never used a press before in my life but heard this was the way to go. This includes making coffee or tea. I read about the four to five minute rule for brewing coffee which is extremely fast! The five minute brew works for me because I like the richer taste. What I didnt know was how to make proper tea with the press. After a little trial and no errors ;) I came up with what I think is a great way to brew tea.
-Heat your water in the microwave. While that's happening put loose tea in the press. This depends on how much your gonna make.
-Pour the warm water in the press. Put the lid on but dont press. Let that sit for however long you prefer your strength of tea.
-Press it then pour into your container.
-Outstanding!
Final thoughts...
-A very solid carafe
-Sturdy handle
-Drip-proof spout
-Heavy duty stainless steel
-Plastic filter with a silicone seal
This press is of the highest quality and built to last.
