Five Star Reviews:	74% Zero complaints; great coffee and easy to use. September 5, 2017 Easy to use and clean. Very durable and works well. I'm new to the french press scene, but this item by KONA made the transition super straighforward. Put in grounds, pour in hot water, stir it a bit, cap it, and wait. Press plunger down after ~4min and pour. Even has a pourable spout and gratings to allow smooth flow from the tip of the caraffe. Love this product. Got it through Amazon for $20 and am more than satisfied. Great coffee, easy to use August 2, 2017 I traded in my Keurig because it took up too much space and kept getting grounds in my cup. This stores nicely in a cupboard but still looks cute enough to leave out on the counter. When using, the screen filter does a good job of keeping grounds out and the handle is shaped so you won't burn yourself when moving or pouring. Taste wise, this french press makes the best coffee I have ever had. I'll never go back to a traditional coffee maker. Yes, Its a well-executed French Press. December 10, 2015 I first tried the Traditional Favorite French Press Device (Chambord), but the glass cracked almost immediately and it started leaking. (And their carafe is NOT covered under their warranty.) Next, I went with this Kona model from Idylc Homes I can certainly see why it is so well reviewed on amazon! For a few plunges, it seemed sort of tight and I was worried that I was doing something wrong or had maybe had a defective unit, but that corrected itself after about a week and all is well. The company recommends completely disassembling the base, screen and plunger and cleaning thoroughly after each use. Not likely. What IS feasible is to slightly loosen the base and run it through the dishwasher a few times a week. That seems to be good enough to keep the bitter coffee oils and any fine grounds from building up. I, myself, slightly prefer the cleaner taste of pour-over coffee (Chemex), but I am recently staying with a friend who prefers the oilier French Press flavor. Use good beans and this Kona Press will make you a good cup of coffee. (Actually, about 3 mugs at a time). The reason I purchased this was because 1) it was a good quality item for a very good price August 11, 2015 This is my first french pressed coffee maker. Item arrived exactly as described and on time. The reason I purchased this was because 1) it was a good quality item for a very good price. and 2) my percolator was making my coffee taste like plastic, so I'd thought I'd try a french press. I do not use freshly ground coffee, however there is still a superior quality to the taste of using this french press over my percolator. The coffee is extremely easy to make. It comes with directions! Or, if you are unsure, you can youtube how to use a french press. My mother and father also claim that the taste from this french press is superior to the percolator machine. The french press comes with a handy spoon for scooping out coffee grounds, which I think is so helpful because I am not very good at measuring out anything. The glass container has a marker for 16oz. I would have appreciated more markers for different oz. I find myself having to use a liquid measuring cup to make up for the lack of markers for ounces. But I am not bothered by this. For the price, I am not expecting anything fancy. The glass container, I feel is thin, and I am afraid it will shatter. It is reinforced with the black plastic surrounding it. I make sure to temper the glass with hot water before I make coffee, as I believe this will make sure the glass won't shatter and also the coffee will taste better. Personal opinion. Overall, this is a great purchase and I would recommend. I have made coffee from this french press every day for 2 weeks now, and it is still working great. Washing is very easy. This is a great beginner french press for me. I'm sure if I acquire a grinder- the coffee will be even more delicious, but I am not fussy. Love it. August 9, 2015 I used this to make chai tea--haven't yet tried it for coffee, but it works great for the tea. Love the styling, easy to clean by screwing the shaft off the plunger, but I had to grab the shaft with one of those clingy rubber can lid openers to hold on to it. It would help if the threads on the knob went the other way. Then you could hold the knob to unscrew the filter assembly for cleaning. Other than that, no complaints. Love the way it looks. Seems to be very well built. My husband drinks decaf and I drink fully leaded, so it's nice to have my own little system--especially since I don't always want coffee. It's great for loose leaf tea. I wrap a terry kitchen towel around it to keep it hot while the tea is steeping and that works perfectly.	70% There are no reviews yet	0% There are no reviews yet

Four Star Reviews:	20% Great product, great customer service! March 22, 2017 Great product! Though my husband is the coffee drinker, I am happy with this product from a prep and clean up stand point. My only complaint about the product is water gets between the glass and plastic casing. This doesn't mess up performance or the coffee being made, mostly it just bothers me that I can't get in there and dry it out completely. Even better than the product is the service I received. We had our first Kona for a year and a half before the glass broke when it got knocked against our counters edge. I ordered a new press, but unfortunately when it arrived the glass on that one was cracked as well. I sent an email along with a picture and less than 24 hours later recieved a reply that they had already put an order in to send me a replacement. A few days later our new Kona french press arrived and my husband was happy to be drinking coffee at home again! Looks great, performs well May 11, 2016 This makes a great tea infuser! The grate on the lid keeps any stray tea leaves that got above the filter out of the drinking cup. The glass withstands boiling water well. The pot looks very nice and the plastic handle, top, and design keep cool, allowing for easy pouring. The matte plastic looks good initially, however it has now become scratched after daily use. Unfortunately, these scratches can not be polished out or fixed. The main problem with the product is that the tea leaves get stuck in the filter bottom. This means more time invested in cleaning the filter, however this is an issue with all french press style tea infusers that I have ever used. It Works! I've used 3 it times despite not having any coarse ground coffee, but have had no problem other than a fine residue. November 2, 2015 Keep in mind that I am an 75 yr old Platoon Sergeant and spent over 21 years drinking coffee all around the USA and the world both civilian brewed and also that brewed by the worst and the best that the service branches (Army, Coast Guard, Navy and Airforce--both ours and others) could produce. I used a fresh ground Kona blend from a local Barrista that makes a good brew. It was a fairly find grind with an out of this world aroma. Following instructions I brewed my first batch of a full container. The Coffee was good but not to my standards. My next brew will use about 20% more coffee as the first batch although good tasted like that made in some diners I have had to use, weak. All in all I believe I will thoroughly enjoy this unit and will post again a few months down the road. Simple to use, easy to clean and gives me an excuse to boil water on the stove which tends to raise the humidity in the house. Happy- will buy again when the kids break this one. September 19, 2015 Had this for 2 weeks now and I have not been disappointed. I have been experimenting with time of steep, grind of coffee, and amount. Good coffee and good WATER make a big difference. The construction itself is not bad but not great either, I was expecting a bit of a thicker glass.The lid isn't as tight as I might like it to be and when its brewing with the plunger down you kind of have to hold it with one finger as you pour, but its not a deal breaker. The black plastic"wrap" around the glass is a hard black plastic that I think would be better as a rubber material, its the texture of it that seems out of place in a way. Cleaning right after use is important, and don't let the kids touch it or it will be shattered, I feel like I'm going to break it while I'm washing it out, but when it happens I will most likely shell out another thirty clams for a new one just based on the quality of coffee I'm getting out of this thing. Great value solid french press! September 18, 2014 4.5 out of 5. Having experienced a variety of coffee, and tried many French Presses over the years, I would say that this makes as good a coffee as you are liable to get from a french press. Recently having moved and having had only a drip machine to compare to, let me tell you that this is very nice change for the better! It won't give you Espresso of course, but it will preserve the flavor of the coffee that you use, and allow you to customize ground size and brew length to suit your tastes as well, which is a nice advantage over many automatics. In comparison to other french presses: Clean, easy to use design, good for 1-3 or 4 people which makes it very versatile. Glass feels and looks high quality and I really like the fact that because of the thick plastic that surrounds the bottom, you can set it onto wood tables or other furniture without worrying that a freshly made pot will leave a scorch mark on your nice furniture. The only thing I would like is if the screen made it a bit further down into the coffee maker as it stops with about a quarter of the volume of the carafe left to go. That being said it isn't supposed to go all the way down so this is very minor point and I would give it 4.5 out of 5 if Amazon would let me. Updates as I continue to use it, but hopefully this all remains the case and you wont hear from me!	25% There are no reviews yet	0% There are no reviews yet

Three Star Reviews:	3% Disappointed February 24, 2017 After using the French Press for a week we are going back to our old drip coffee maker. We tried experimenting with the amount of coffee to use and it never got as good as the drip coffee. There was always too much sludge at the bottom of the pot. I know we could have experimented with different types of grinds, but there is always going to be a few crumbs from grinding coffee and I just don't like not being able to drink the last part of my cup of coffee. The coffee filter in the drip machine prevents the sludge. I asked Hubs to see if we could somehow cut a paper coffee filter to put in the press and he really didn't think it was worth the effort. It is a nuisance to keep our electric kettle (for boiling the water), the press, and the drip maker on the counter, and if we have to get rid of one it will be the press. Cracked soon after purchase July 15, 2016 The product shipped fine and makes coffee fine but it began to crack not long after purchasing. We continued using it with the small cracks and monitored them, since they were at the top and didn't really effect things. As you might expect, the cracks got worse and eventually we had to throw it away. We had it for maybe 3 months, and it cracked within the first month. We were always careful when handling and cleaning it, and we never dropped it. KONA vs Bodum November 16, 2015 Trust reviews of verified buyers only!! After a year of faithful service I broke my Bodum carafe and set out to see if there was anything better before plunking down $20 on a replacement carafe. Like you, I found KONA at the top of the best sellers list for french presses. Reviews all generally seem favorable and with a 34-oz carafe if I didn't like the piece parts I could reuse my Bodum components. Either of these will brew a fine pot of tea or coffee, the quality of the components will dictate the longevity of these pots however. For anyone else in a similar situation or anyone trying to decide between the 2 pots, here are the key differences. In the attached pictures, the KONA pieces are on the left, Bodum on the right. In the spring comparison picture the Bodum is on the bottom. Glass: Both use borosilicate glass which is supposed to be more resistant to thermal shock but my Bodum broke easily on my granite counter. KORA - carafe cannot be separated from its plastic frame Bodum - carafe can be separated from metal frame Lid: KORA uses a very thin plastic that can be easily squeezed from the edges. Entire lid rotates when positioning to pour Bodum uses metal for the outer lid which feels heavier and more premium with an isolated plastic piece that rotates independently when positioning to pour Spiral plate (the plate with holes and spring): KONA uses 2 rows of holes in their plate which go from small to large. The metal used in the spring is a smaller gauge. Bodum uses 3 rows of holes in their plate which range from very small to medium. The metal used in the spring is a thicker gauge. Filter screen: This is an important distinction between the pots and will attribute to longevity of the screens between the pots. KONA uses a very basic filter with no added support for the center post. Over time this hole will elongate and require replacement of the screen. Bodum uses a screen mesh with a reinforced center for the post. The screen in the picture I've included is my original screen, over a year old and still working fine. Cross plate: It appears that the cutouts are approximately the same size so it should be safe to assume that Bodum allows more liquid to flow. KONA uses a 3-hole cutout pattern Bodum uses a 4-hole cutout pattern All of this said, I feel the higher price tag for the Bodum Chambord is justified. The lid, spring and filter being made of higher grade materials or design is where the extra cost lives. What this KONA did for me however, was replace my broken carafe and gave me a spare set of plates and a light duty filter for less than a replacement Bodum carafe. So should you buy the Kona? My humble recommendations: First french press pot - buy the Bodum Replacement carafe for broken Bodum - buy the Kona and reuse your Bodum parts (assuming you don't mind not using your Bodum frame) Well-Built, Dishwasher Safe but Almost Impossible to Replace Carafe May 23, 2015 My previous "stainless" steel French press rusted after only six months, so I like that this one is all plastic, but plastic never touches the coffee. The reason I took one star away is that it's almost impossible to remove the glass carafe from the plastic frame. It is so tight that I actually broke one carafe trying to remove it. Then I had to coat the new carafe in olive oil in order to insert it into the frame. In my experience, the glass on these carafes does break occasionally requiring you to replace just the carafe. However, that's almost impossible with this one due to the tight fit. I really wanted to love this but... March 31, 2015 I've only used this about 6 times, and the lid does not stay put and stay completely closed. It lifts up causing heat to escape :/ I have to tape it closed :/	3% There are no reviews yet	0% There are no reviews yet

Two Star Reviews:	1% Great coffee but extremely fragile! February 13, 2017 I really actually liked this product and it would definitely have more stars except that there should really be a warning as to how fragile it is! The support that's holding the glass make this French Press "seem" really sturdy but don't let it fool you. It's extremely fragile. I only had my french press for 3 days and it already broke while I was washing it! I really wished it lasted longer because this product really enhanced the flavors of the coffee I was making. Just so sad that it broke after only using it 3 times :( Fantastic press. Not built to last. October 12, 2016 Really loved this french press but unfortunately within 2 months of ownership the glass has already cracked. Edit: I contacted the seller and told them about the glass cracking. They were very helpful and quickly replied to my emails and have stated they are shipping me a replacement. This is a company that stands by their products and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from again! Also I'd like to add that I have previously owned the Sterling Pro glass french press and in my opinion (and in contrast to some of the other reviews here) this is by far the better design. The lid adds another layer of filter which is nice. It doesn't rust because it isn't made of metal. It generally just seems to operate smoother as well. In my opinion this is the one to own, assuming that the next one lasts. I will update this review if it breaks again, otherwise assume it hasn't! Well unfortunately here we are again. This product is made of very week glass as again it has broken on me. Not much else to say. I would love to use this press but it seems far too fragile for everyday use. Great while it lasted... July 1, 2016 After reading the reviews on this, I was very optimistic that this would be the right introduction to French press for me. I thought the design was sleek, and based on other reviews, sounded like it was a durable product. I used it a few times over the course of a few weeks very successfully and the coffee was excellent, but around week four, the glass cracked right as I poured the hot water in. It's the same temperature water I was using the previous weeks and I did not have any issues up to that point. Could have been just a faulty batch, but I was still disappointed to say the least. Planning to continue looking for something to satisfy my continuously maturing desire to make the perfect cup of coffee. It was GREAT until it proved very fragile January 1, 2016 I purchased this French press in February 2015 and used it daily and the quality of coffee made with it was pretty superior. In that regard, I can't recommend it enough!! However, a week ago, while about to clean it, it tumbled sideways on the kitchen counter, got the slightest bump on that counter and the entire top glass part, even with the protective plastic around it, shattered into small pieces. Had to throw the whole thing away. And now, as I'm back to temporary using my Italian style old school percolator, I have strong doubts I shall spend money buying a new one of these exact French press, if such a small accident will break it so easily! :-( Disappointing Durability September 11, 2014 Like many other reviews I have seen for this product I was initially very happy with it. Unfortunately, after the first 4-5 months the thread connecting the filter to the plunger stripped and could not be removed to clean or replace. More recently the knob at the top stripped completely off rendering the product ineffective. This seems to be a recurring problem based on other reviews. Unlike some other reviews I have read, where customers were offered replacement parts, the customer service informed me that as I was out of the 90 day guarantee the best they could offer was a 25% discount on a new one. It did not seem logical to me to pay for a product that had already broke once. While I understand the 90 day guarantee, it is unfortunate that this product can not be expected to last more than a year at the most without defects. I will be looking for a different, more durable brand for my next purchase and I would recommend potential consumers to do the same.	1% There are no reviews yet	0% There are no reviews yet

One Star Reviews:	2% I haven't had this press a month and I am ... July 25, 2017 I haven't had this press a month and I am already having problems with it. It is very difficult to press down. The info on it said that it would be the screens, they even offered me a link for free screens. I tried to access it but I couldn't bring it up. I am sorry I bought this French Press. Should've gone with a cheaper one... One Star April 16, 2016 Worked great for a while but after about 10 days the glass broke during regular use. Low quality product from a low quality company. April 2, 2016 Low quality materials. Broke on very first use. :( After pouring, I noticed a tiny amount of liquid at the base of the unit.... It did not appear to be enough liquid to indicate a leak.... and as I lifted the french press up over the sink in an attempt to determine if it was leaking.... the glass shattered and sprayed boiling hot water all over my arm, which not only burned my arm rather badly, but left a bit of a scar. To add insult to injury the company was unwilling to show even the most basic level of empathy or even acknowledge the incident occurred. Instead they acted as if they were really doing me a big favor by not charging me shipping when sending me a replacement. Really disappointed with the entire experience. This is a very low quality item, from a very low quality company. Would not recommend to anyone for any reason. The glass cracked after pouring some hot water into it ... April 1, 2016 The glass cracked after pouring some hot water into it to prepare my coffee. Can I get a replacement please?? I'd be happy with a swift reply/replacement of just the nob February 9, 2015 The nob on the top of mine also broke within a week of use. I'm not sure how to contact the seller directly, but I intend to try. I'd be happy with a swift reply/replacement of just the nob. Otherwise I'll have to return it for a refund and then buy a Bodum.	1% There are no reviews yet	0% There are no reviews yet
