For other models, especially in Emsa, the mesh guide on the stamp in the middle is not stable enough. Likewise, the spring, which should keep the screen on the glass wall, too weak constructed. After a few months in the use of financial statements is simply not tight and there are only a crumbly coffee. Not so with rastal - everything remains tight and stable. I have it. More than two years in operation and it works like the first day
Ultimately, it remains to say that I love the coffee produce the French press equipment. I have my fully automatic against so abandoned a small simple device, because the coffee in my opinion simply tastes much better.
A word about the size: 350 ml capacity is a rather theoretical value, because the mechanics and especially the coffee grounds also need space. This coffee maker so you get a filling a large coffee pot full or two small cups. If you want more, had better access to 1000 ml model.
Conclusion: A great "machine", super durable and shapely. Sometimes the most simple is the best!
