I really enjoy brewing loose leaf tea, and this French press is exactly what I needed. The mesh filter fits tightly to the sides, and the plunger moves smoothly, ensuring good water circulation so the tea opens up with a rich flavor and aroma. The glass is thick and feels sturdy, and the handle is comfortable to hold, even when the press is full. It's also very easy to clean, which makes daily use convenient. I like that it can be used both for tea and coffee — a versatile piece in the kitchen. Highly recommend!
