I went with this particular one because it had excellent reviews. One of the biggest things I didn't like about the French press I had before was that the filter would not always form a good seal and grounds would not all get pushed down. I specifically wanted to avoid that issue. Several reviews I saw indicated that this one did not have that issue, which I can confirm it does not.

I went with one branded "Highwin". I can't remember all the details of my purchase, but I think I bought it on eBay at a lower price than the Mueller. It looks exactly like the Mueller. So, I convinced myself that I wasn't going to pay more for a name. The quality seems good, and will probably last a lifetime. An extra mesh filter is included.
