Sivaphe 12 oz French Press Coffee/Tea Maker Single Cup Espresso Press Stainless Steel Filter 0.35L High Borosilicate Carafe Durable Bamboo Handle Small Coffee Maker

Works great except when it’s humid. We left it overnight with the previous days grounds in it and it got so humid that night that the wooden lid expanded and cracked the glass. That was definitely user error so I’m not taking any stars away but just a warning! Don’t close it it with wet grounds in it in case it gets humid in your house😂

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Very pretty! The glass of the carafe could stand to be thicker and less brittle, I'm definitely wary of its fragility but no issues so far and it does a great job. Love that it's plastic free *and* in a small size. That's hard to come by apparently.

It's exactly what I wanted, beautiful and very useful love it

I bought this product the first several months ago. The glass cracked and it broke. I originally thought perhaps it was mishandled. So, I recently purchased the same product again. This one lasted literally days. This morning it cracked and broke. I was following the instructions of putting hot (not boiling) water in the carafe in order for it to warm up. Really. The whole point of this product is to make hot coffee with boiling water. It's obviously not made strong enough to do so. So very, very disappointed as the product one, contains no plastic, not even in the filter area and two, it's very pretty and went with my kitchen decor. Again, seriously disappointed in this product and the wasted money I spent on it twice.

Update: I didn't realize it at first but the beaker had a hairline crack that expanded. Luckily I noticed in time and I was able to get a replacement from Amazon. I do wish that the glass was a bit thicker for this product. I still wanted a different handle material, so I wound up ordering a "Bodum Chambord Coffee Maker 3 Cup 0.35 Liter 12 Ounce Shiny" french press used from Amazon Warehouse for $15 in "like new condition." It was a bit of a tight fit but the glass beaker did fit into the Bodum stainless steel stand. I am currently using this brand's glass beaker and bamboo lid with the Bodum stainless steel holder that has a plastic handle. I really do like this french press overall and I would give it 5 stars if the handle was a more durable material such as stainless steel, plastic, or silicone. Original Review: I ordered this 12 oz French press and Ascot glass electric kettle based on Tamara Rubin’s advice for nontoxic and lead free kitchen items. It is beautiful but I wish the handle was either stainless steel or even plastic so that it could go through the dishwasher and there would be less worry of deterioration. I have hand washed it a few times and you can the see the bamboo is already drying out a bit on the handle. I am not having this problem with the bamboo top. I know that I could oil it but ideally I would like something that I could just rinse and pop into the dishwasher. I went so far as to order the same brand’s 12 oz version with a black plastic handle and lid to use for parts. I was hoping to swap out just the handle portion so that I would have the black handle with the original glass beaker without writing with the bamboo lid (I do not want the plastic lid touching the hot coffee). However, the glass beaker for the 12 oz glass/plastic combo is narrower. The bamboo lid is unable to press down as shown in the picture. It’s definitely a bummer. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do. I could possibly remove the beaker from the bamboo handle before washing it but I like to wash it right away and it’s very hot. I am debating if I should just switch over to another brand that is all glass and stainless steel. I saw a 34 oz one at IKEA that was reasonably priced.

Very nice for one cup of coffee

I was hesitant about this press when I saw reviews about it cracking. I made sure to “preheat” it as per the directions. Which makes sense. Common sense will tell you to not pour boiling hot water in a glass carafe. I only heat my water to 185-190• anyway. It made a perfect cup of coffee. It was easy to operate and easy to clean. The value for the money is great and it looks cute as hell on my countertop ❤️👍🏻

Seems like a standard thin walled lower quality Glass was used. We used this twice and it worked well, gave great coffee, and was convenient to use. At first we were satisfied with it thinking perhaps it was made with a Pyrex type of strong glass, of something of equal or greater strength. And, it could be considered that for the price, this may be a good deal if you are very careful of it in use and in cleaning. However, and at the third use we noticed the spout was already cracked. After one week it was broken off and was not safe to use, with sharp edges at the spout. Thus, it became a hazard during the use and cleaning process.

I have one friend who prefers his coffee from a french press, so I really only wanted a single serving cafetière, and this little one fits the bill exactly. It is small and compact, takes up very little room in tye cupboard and works well however the bamboo/ wood areas are not sealed on arrival so I personally recommend treating them with food oil ( olive oil/ Rapeseed oil) or as I did with pure beeswax, otherwise it will be prone to splitting when it gets damp ( had this issue with a bamboo tea tray set, arrived unsealed, I hand washed one a couple of times and it just dried right out and cracked / split, I treated the other two in the set and they are still going strong 6 years on, so immediately recognised that the wood on this cafetière was not treated). Overall excellent little french press, very happy with it, does tye job I bought it for.

Cafeteira linda de ótima qualidade 💫

I purchased this for my mother whose plastic one was awkward to use, hard to clean and cumbersome. She is delighted with this. Aesthetically pleasing too.

I really like this coffee maker as it's easy to use and clean, makes great coffee.

It’s a great looking product but be aware it is a little wobbly, as the metal frame overlaps under with and the legs aren’t sized to make up for the mm difference, it’s a very small thing, but if you were anxious around hot liquids it might not be for you.
