Works great, if you know how

One important thing to do, that isn't in the instructions: Make sure the plunger has reached the same temperature before plunging. Otherwise, the fit will be too loose (the cylinder has expanded from the hot water, but the plunger is still contracted from being colder) and grounds will flow easily into the upper chamber.
Two improvements I'd like to see (but can be easily done at home):
- Fill lines for 1 cup, 2 cups, etc.
- An insulating jacket, so the coffee stays warmer, if it's not immediately poured into mugs.
(My lid has never retained water, so maybe there's a leak in the other reviewer's.)
