“Nice thick glass on a copper base, giving it a look of timeless elegance! It seems to be exceptionally well made, and the three holes insure that the drip cycle is long enough for a full flavored cup, but not endlessly long either. My only slight (very slight) negative is that copper conducts heat very efficiently, so the handle gets HOT. I solved this by putting it on a stand so that it can cool down and does not interfere with getting that cup of coffee ASAP. Otherwise you might want to use a small pot holder to remove it if you need to do so immediately.”
