I loved this french press so much I bought 2 - one for each home and the beach house. I also bought 2 for gifts. Love it!

Very decent quality, solid build. The enamel is chipping of on the i side, I freely admit that's my fault.Using metal utensils on any press is bad news as my glass press blew up(my fault again). The issue with the plunger is plain old physics. The grounds cool creating a slight vacuum because the seal is so efficient. Two ways to fix this Dump any residual coffee out, while press is on its side gently pull plunger. This should break the seal. If that doesn't work fill the press through the pour hole with hot tap water. This time while carefully dumping the water, pull the plunger out. It should come out easy peasy. .

I have a few Yeti tumblers and the quality is excellent, so I bought this French press. It does keep the coffee hot, though it would be nice if the pour spout had a cover. The reason I gave it two stars is that no matter what I do, it pours coffee on the floor when I fill my cup. There’s no seal between the lid and the body.

I love Yeti but this was a horrible design. Suction is so hard sometimes I can't even press down the plunger. It's takes me standing on top of the handle with 210 lbs to get it to go down. Secondly, you cannot pour it with out it spilling or dripping down the side. I wonder how Yeti did not address this during R&D. The most expensive French Press that does not function properly.
