I have been looking for this in rose gold for a while as they only seem to sell the silver one in any of the stores around here. I have the large one as well, but this one is great for one person in the morning as it makes 1 - 2 cups, depending on the size of your coffee cup ofc. I drink my coffee pretty slow so I prefer making a little less twice, rather than having it sit and get cold.I use an electric water kettle to heat up the water which is supper convenient as you can leave it and take a shower or something as the water heats up.Beautiful coffee maker starts my day off right. Makes one full cup of coffee. Not sure why they call it 3 cups. I just measured and it holds 12 Oz.I bought this for my husband for his anniversary and this was my first time having a French press. Wow! Great coffee and the clean up with this model is so easy.Risks and looks great!I don’t know what size cup they’re referring to when they say this is a 3 cup press. The size is only good for making one mug of coffee. I was anticipating getting a full-size press very disappointing and how small.Nothing wrong with it per se, but to call it a 3-cup size is very misleading, unless they mean 3 single espresso shots. It doesn’t event fill one decent size coffee cup.This item is not a 3 cup French Press. It is barely a 1 cup. The frame for the glass canister was distorted-see the pictures. I cannot believe that I paid $42. for this. This was to be a birthday present and it was such a disappointment.Was supposed to be a three cup as you can see it's just 8 ounces wow was I taken.its bodum brand don't buy this one advertise as a three cup but is not Don TThis is a cute, stylish-looking coffee maker that is very practical and makes good coffee.I purchased a 0.35 l (12 oz) or three-cup version of this coffee maker in copper to use as my personal coffee maker at work. It makes three cups, what this means is that there is enough volume to make three espresso-sized cups, or about 1 mug of coffee. You can vary the strength of the coffee, so you can make coffee for one, two or even three people. The glass beaker inside is removable, allowing for easier cleaning and replacing if you break it. It works like a normal French press: a three-part mesh filter is attached to a plunger, which is then is pushed down, separating your coffee grounds from the water. There is a nice sturdy black handle to carry it around. The top lid rotates, which allows you to either pour water from the spout through a little filter, or to close off the flow of water to the spout.Pros:- The colour is very attractive. It’s a nice, shiny copper that borders on rose gold and which attracted positive comments from my colleagues- The Bodum brand is famous for French presses- Small and compact - perfect for coffee for one, but also you can share with two or three people if you like (and you are all happy with tiny coffees)- Easy to clean - thanks to removable parts- Brews excellent coffee. Even my Italian colleagues agree with this, so it must be good.- Sturdy- Smooth plunging mechanismCons:- The metal parts supporting the beaker are a bit wonky, so the beaker leans to one side a little.- When removing the beaker, the metal parts feel a bit thin and fragile- The turning mechanism of the lid was confusing at first, so I found the coffee difficult to pour. It turns out that you have to turn the lid around every time so that the correct part is over the spout. Otherwise, it will block the flow of coffee out of the beaker- The ‘Bodum’ sticker was difficult to remove, although once I did, it was fine and left no marksComparing the pros and cons:Overall, this coffee maker is a great all-rounder because it makes good coffee easily and quickly, looks good, and is sturdy and compact. The cons are small compared to the pros.Target audience:This coffee maker would suit those who want a portable and compact coffee maker, to use either for themselves or to share with people who enjoy espresso. It would work well for anyone living in a small space such as students, or for keeping on an office desk. As it’s quite stylish, it would suit someone who cares about things looking shiny, cute and well-made (at least if you don’t look too closely!). It would not work well for people who want to share large coffees with others.Value for money:I bought this for £22 on Amazon. I think it was decent value for money. Whittards sell a very similar one for £20, which is a bit more gold-looking. Bodum specialises in French presses though, while Whittards specialty has historically been predominantly tea, not equipment, so you may be paying for Bodum’s reputation a bit there.Overall:I have not experienced any problems with this product. The only reason I have knocked off a star is because it is slightly wonky and, for the money and the reputation of the brand, you might expect more. For general office and everyday use it has held up very well, I have used it on a daily basis for a few months now with no problems whatsoever.So disappointed with this Bodum rose gold cafetière.I have used Bodum products for years and have always found them to be excellent value for money and long lasting.I bought this particular Bodum cafetière a few months ago. I use it once a day and wash it separately by hand. Over time cracks have appeared in the lid and base and now it looks unsightly and very poor quality.I’m not sure if this is just an issue with the rose gold as I’ve had my sliver & black cafetières for years and never had this happen.I shall be contacting Bodum for a replacement as unfortunately my purchase guarantee with this Amazon seller is only for 30days.Rubbish! The plunger doesn't fit tight enough so the coffee grounds leak through. The paint effect on the top is scratched and crazed despite never being in the dishwasher and usually just rinsed under the tap. Not worth the money.We have had Bodum cafetieres for 30+ years but this one has been very disappointing and was shockingly over priced for the quality. The rose gold effect is not metal but appears to be a plastic film which soon cracked and crazed. I would not recommend purchasing this product. Hang on to your old cafetieres they are much more substantial then new versions!Not a lot of difference between this and a cheap one a have had for years. Thought I would upgrade but not really worth the extra money. Looks pretty tho
