I am very disappointed with my purchase. This press pot is made in China and the quality is not at all what I expected. It's described as stoneware, but it actually seems like run-of-the mill pottery to me. Sure it's hefty compared to a glass press pot, but its weight is nothing compared to other stoneware pieces I own. When I got this, the mesh part of the plunger was misshapen and I didn't think it would be a big deal but now after only two weeks of use the 'durable' interior is completely scratched. None of this would be bothering me if I hadn't spent so much money. I looked at some of the glass pots but I was swayed by the Le Creuset name. I had put a lot of the matching Le Creuset pieces on my wishlist, but after seeing what it's like in person I'm going to take them off.

I bought this for a Christmas present for my husband. We had it 2 weeks and it cracked and broke. Not the quality I expect for the price and the name. Would not recommend buying this one

Pretty blue. Comfortable to pour. Filters coffee and presses well. Handle placed well for comfortable pouring. It cleans up great thanks to the excellent finish on the Creuset stoneware. A bit pricey, but it will probably come down after it's been on the market for a while.

Not lightweightthough that's not a surprise.

When making coffee, be aware of the spout on the inside of the canister. The water must not come over that point, or the coffee grounds will get into your coffee. So I fill it about half way, put the plunger in, and the fill some more, so I can fill it all the way up. THis works fine for me, but may turn other users off.

for $20, this would get 5 stars.

for $40, this would get 4 stars.

Honest reviews on Le Creuset Stoneware 27oz. French Press, Marseille

The color (Marseile) was not as vibrant as the rest of our Le C product's. It came disassembled (the press part) with no instructions. (Although the folks at LC were very helpful and have very good customer service) It chipped almost immediately. It was made in China. I was so excited to buy this for my hubs who loves LC and french pressed coffee this was a bummer. Save your money.

I was swayed into buying this because my stepfather saw "Le Creuset" and "Stoneware".

First of all, I'm a potter. This is NOT stoneware. It's normal pottery, and I've made better than this.

Second of all, I was led to understand that this is a good, sturdy brand that won't break on me when I'm using it, much less in transit.

It arrives, I open the box, and what do I see but a solid break in the pot from the lid down, two inches long, an inch wide, and the piece broken off, floating in the box.

Le Creuset is expensive, pretty "stoneware" with all the quality you would expect from something made in China that would be given to a toddler.

I do not reccomend buying.
