Kitchen Aid Cookware: LaCafetiere Classic Coffee Press, Chrome Review

I decided upon a LaCafetiere over the Bodum based largely upon the $9 difference in price and comparable reviews.I am satisfied with my decision.The LC does everything I expected of it with only a little more fussing around than my old drip coffeemaker required.I've set aside my concern over the fragility of the container--only a little care in handling protects against accidental breakage.The only downsides are:the coffee does cool down in the maker and must be microwaved after 20 minutes or so have elapsed; the twelve-cup moniker is deceptive--these are not 12 coffee-cup cups--but I knew that before the purchase; and some small proportion of the grounds do get into the cup when pouring.The maker iswell made, stylish and much less visible on my kitchen counter-top than my drip maker.When a 12-cup, truly insulated version is devised I'll purchase that.As for the taste of the brewed coffee, I do not notice a significant difference compared to the drip maker, but I drink so much coffee that perhaps my capacity to distinguish between qualities of brew has been impaired.I think my 4 stars sums up my level of satisfaction quite well.
