I have to agree with other reviews, I had mine for two weeks and it has broken whilst removing granules. The same happened to my daughter in law too. I wouldn't recommend.
Waste of money
Purchased the item a month ago. Worked perfectly for the first two weeks, but has now broken. I have had to through the item away and am now using an old cafetiere which cost me half the price of the above. I would not recommend this cafetiere.
Design flaw
Unfortunately I think this cafetiere has a design flaw. Our first one lasted a week before the glass shattered when being gently washed in the sink by hand. We returned it to Tesco and it was exchanged for a new one. The new one lasted a few weeks before again shattering - this time when it was just standing on the kitchen counter full of coffee, resulting in hot coffee and broken glass all over our kitchen floor. Not sure if we've just been unlucky with a bad batch or if the glass is not properly designed for its required function.
