Primula Classic Glass 8-Cup Coffee Press with Black Handle

Primula Classic Glass 8-Cup Coffee Press with Black HandleWife bough the pot at the grocery store on sale for $11. The next day, the thing throws a crack while making a half-pot.

I looked at it when I got home, and made the following observations:

The "stainless" looks suspect. Might be chrome plated mild steel.

The band that attaches to the top of the handle contacts the glass in 3 places, with enough space to fit a matchbook cover in about halfway around. I can't tell you how much force the band is exerting on the glass, except to say that it was apparently enough to cause it to crack.

The poor workmanship extends to the feet, which do not sit evenly on the glass. I'm glad the unit cracked up top and not on the bottom.

I've had this for a few days. So far so good. By 8-cups they mean 8 4oz servings or coffee cups. I think. Holds 32oz, not 64oz which is the official 8 cup measurement. Got it on sale at Macy's with a coupon for $15. You need a scoop of ground coffe for each 4 oz of water.

It works well and looks nice. The biggest problem was that the base weld broke only a few days after first use. We do not beat on things we own so it was disappointing

This press works wonderfully, however it has a fatal flaw. The first press I ordered arrived broken. The company immediately replaced it. The second press worked great but was also soon shattered when it tumbled from the counter into the sink. Not the most durable product.

New 20 oz Espresso Coffee Milk Frothing Pitcher, Stainless Steel, 18/8 gauge

New 20 oz Espresso Coffee Milk Frothing Pitcher, Stainless Steel, 18/8 gaugeDon't buy a frothing pitcher that doesn't have a pour spout! We love this pitcher and it pours without making a mess. 20oz is full to the top, so when making large lattes for two we usually end-up doing a pitcher and a half. If you regularly brew two large lattes, you might want a 32oz pitcher.

I am using this to froth about 6 oz of milk for two cappuccinos, and it is just the right size. After frothing the foam rises to about 2/3 3/4 of the pitcher volume, so one pours at a comfortable starting angle without spilling a drop. The pronounced spout is also helpful in this respect. This pitcher is very easy to clean and looks great beside our stainless espresso machine.

This is a very strong pitcher. Thick steel. The handle is spot welded with 3 weld at the top of handel and 3 at the bottom. Expect it to last. The spout is tapered at the tip and pours very precisely.

I own an espresso machine and bought this pitcher to steam milk for my lattes. This is the perfect size for one medium-large latte and it helps heat the milk much faster than a ceramic mug. I almost bought the 12oz pitcher, and am so glad I decided to purchase the 20oz. I love this pitcher, it's made of quality material and it's a little heavy so you know it's durable. I would highly recommend this.

Of course one must get the hang of steaming and foaming milk, and this is the perfect container to do so. I don't know how I went so long without this product for my cappucino maker. Excellent size and quality.
