Coffee Appreciation

to go back to the people contemplating improving cheap machines, I struggled with the cost/space of espresso machines and went for an aeropress and haven't looked back since. Best advice I ever received of lfgss.

One down side of the aeropress is if you're trying to make more than a couple of coffee's so on the look out for a decent sized french press that can make 6-7 coffees in one go. Any particular brands to go for or avoid?

Bodum Chambord, I have the small one and it's been doing regular duty for over five years. Still good.

I also have an unbranded one which is the same size but of lower quality (gift from a friend) which doesn't perform as well- the plunger has worked loose in the lid so it allows the filter to move a bit when plunging, so sometimes some grounds get free and make the coffee taste muddy.

I also have the medium sized cafetiere that Ikea sell (equivalent to the 1L bodum) but it cost around £12-15. Pleased with the quality of that one, for sure, so it's a good budget option but I imagine that when the glass goes, the dream's over and it gets retired.
