9 Best French Press Coffee Maker 1L for 2026 – Expert Quality Reviews

Customer Review: “I bought this for camping. It kept the coffee hot. It’s a nice size and is a quality product. The handle stays cool and works great. It’s easy to clean and is solid stainless steel. There is now plastic or glass to crack and break. I would recommend this French press.”

Customer Review: “I love this french press. I was previously using a glass one. I don’t have a dishwasher and well water is used for dish washing. Therefore, the glass always seemed to be a bit cloudy. I had to fill it with vinegar to get it clear. The Stainless is much easier to clean and the coffee oil/residue doesn’t seem to bind as much (this could be my imagination). At any rate, it is easy to use, extremely attractive and cleans up quickly and thoroughly. I would definitely purchase this again if anything happens to this one, as long as it lasts me at least a few years. But, I expect it will last much longer than that. It’s very sturdy and the extra screens will be handy in the future.”

Customer Review: “For the price this is a hard value to beat! I live off grid and this has transformed my coffee drinking experience! I can keep it extra warm on the woodstove in winter, and summer is warm enough to maintain heat. It is no thermal comparison as a good thermos. Its not thin metal, has some insulation properties, but don’t expect it to be extremely thermal capable. In a colder (50f degree) air temp, it cools off pretty quick. Filter quality is superb! Usability is superb! Easy to use and clean! For the price its hard to beat!”

Customer Review: “Very sturdy. Beautiful. It has 3 filters and makes a great pot of coffee. Easy to clean. The price is unbeatable for the quality.”

Customer Review: “I use this to make loose leaf and herbal tea. Right now I’m hooked on hibiscus, ginger and lemon! The mesh strainer works so well that I never have any pieces of leaves in my cup and it makes 2 good sized mugs worth. Easy to clean and I love the color.”

Customer Review: “Looks bougie and your friends will never know the low price you paid to impress them with awesome coffee, the press does not suck- no grounds, and we’ve been using it for months. We feel fancy every time we make coffee now!”

Customer Review: “UPDATE:. Oh, I’m loving this French press! I bought a metal mesh sieve (set of 3, actually), which makes the cleanup so much easier. You can buy them here on Amazon, but I don’t think they appreciate adding links to purchases. Actually, THEY really should add mesh sieves to the bottom of the screen as ‘bought together’…or maybe the seller can add a metal mesh sieve to the set! [*wink-wink*]. So, I simply allow the glass to cool a bit before putting warm water in the grounds, swishing the water around to catch all the grounds, and pouring them into the sieve. It really helps if you have a ‘shower’ type of spray nozzle on your spigot. This prevents the water from splashing all over the sink. So I rinse as many times as I can to remove the grinds; usually not more than three times. NEVER add cold water to hot glass. This can cause the fragile glass to crack. I empty the strained grinds into the trash. Then I use the spray nozzle to spray the few loose grinds off the sieve and plunger. I fill the carafe 3/4 full with clean warm water, then add a bit of detergent to the water in the carafe, then pump the plunger up and down in the water to clean the glass and plunger at the same time. To empty the carafe, I pour the detergent water over the sieve to clean that, and use the spray spigot to rinse the soapy dishes. I rinse everything with hot water, again using the spray nozzle, then set everything in the empty dishwasher to drain. I have a top rack for small dishes, but you may need to drain the small items on a towel on your counter.I also discovered that the glass does slide out of the metal holder. I was pulling up on the plunger one day when I discovered the glass pulling away from the metal. I don’t know if it was originally glued in, but this certainly makes it much easier to clean. I was noticing coffee grinds between the glass and metal, which was very annoying. I’m so glad it can be removed to clean. But I do have to make sure it doesn’t slide out of the metal casing when I pour or pull out the plunger.Since everything is much easier to clean now, I make all my coffee in the FP. I also noticed a difference in the taste, and it is not my imagination. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to drip!There are a few negative reviews, mainly about cracking. But as long as you DO NOT ADD COLD WATER TO THE HEATED GLASS, you shouldn’t have cracks. I’m considering buying a second FP just in case this one breaks. This is well worth the purchase.Last review:This is my first French press, and I’ve always wanted one. That being said, this review is more on the reflection of the French press process than it is on this specific device, since I have nothing else to compare it to…except my drip coffee makers.Before receiving the shipment, I viewed instructions of YouTube videos, so I would be prepared to use it immediately.CONS:1. The French press does not use a paper coffee filter as the drip makers use. This is the biggest con, but it’s also the biggest pro, which I’ll explain shortly. I’m accustomed to pulling out the filter and dumping the grounds in the trash. I have experienced the downfall of washing the grinds down the drain. It can cause major plumbing issues, which can be expensive if not dealt with in time. So my first and only experience to date of disposing of the grinds was a messy one. I had to use a long spoon to get the grinds to the top of the carafe and dump them in the trash. The grounds got all over my hands, the floor, the trash can…and then I still had to rinse them out into the sink. In this case, there were only a few grounds remaining, so I turned on my garbage disposal before rinsing it out. In hindsight, I should’ve just poured them over an empty coffee filter and proceeded as I do with drip coffee. I’ll figure it out. People have been doing this for years, so I know there’s a better way.2. This particular model has metal molded around a glass carafe. I’m assuming this is designed to keep the coffee hot. But in washing the carafe, water gets trapped between the metal and glass. My OCD won’t allow me to dismiss this issue. I don’t know if mold will become trapped between the glass and metal, or if the metal will rust. But I do know I can’t put this away in the cupboard until it dries thoroughly. I turned it upside down, and am patiently waiting for it to drain thoroughly.3. It isn’t electric, so the coffee doesn’t remain hot. I can pour the coffee into my drip carafe and keep it on the warming plate. But it would be better to just make another cup of coffee.4. It’s not an automatic process, like I’m used to experiencing with a drip coffee maker. I just set the drip maker up and turn it on. Eleven minutes later, it’s ready to pour. Not so with the press. For a good cup, the press needs to be preheated, coffee beans need to be weighed, ground, soaked, and then pressed. There is no time to sit down and wait for it to brew. But, it doesn’t take much time to make French press coffee, either.5. It’s a bit difficult to clean. It’s not impossible to clean, but compared to the drip coffee brewer, which needs to be rinsed out and occasionally cleaned with vinegar, there is a bit more complicated cleaning process. The press has a few parts that need to be cleaned after each use.PROS:1. This does not use a paper coffee filter. This is a plus, because you don’t have to worry about running out of coffee filters, and it produces less trash for the landfills.2. It’s perfect for those times when you just want one cup of coffee.3. Though cleanup can be a bit of a hassle, it’s not difficult to clean, if you tackle it immediately after pouring the coffee.4. It’s compact, easy to store.5. This model has a lifetime guarantee, of which I will take advantage, should anything go wrong. I inspected the item thoroughly; and aside from the water becoming trapped between the glass and metal, it’s in perfect condition. Don’t forget to register it asap.6. It’s simple to use. Even though it’s not automatic like the drip coffee maker, it’s not really that difficult to use. I would suggest to anyone buying this, that an electric kettle would come in very handy. You can boil water on your stovetop, but personally, I prefer the electric kettle.HERE IS MY SYSTEM:1. Boil water in kettle and pour into FP carafe and put plunger and elements into the water and cover. This process will heat up the carafe and elements, so they are unlikely to cool off the boiled water, lowering the coffee temperature.2. While the parts to the FP is heating, I boil more water. After water boils, I dump out the water in the carafe, dry carafe, and add premeasured grinds into carafe. I personally use the same amount of grounds:water ratio that I used in the drip maker.3. Pour boiled water over grinds; just enough water to cover grinds. I stir with a long handled spoon so all grinds get wet; then carefully pour a tiny bit of boiled water over spoon to get the remaining grinds off spoon. (OCD…remember?) I cover the carafe and allow the grinds to soak for a few minutes, while I boil more water.4. I add the remaining boiled water to the grinds to complete the coffee, allow coffee to set a couple minutes, then carefully place lid with plunger and slowly push down the plunger evenly, so no grounds will get into the coffee.5. I pour coffee in cup(s) and add cream/sugar as usual.6. I wait for remaining water in carafe to cool a bit before clearing out the grounds. In the future, I might add warm tap water (NOT cold! That could crack the glass, if it’s hot), swish water around a bit; and, using a small rubber spatula, pour them over a filter, allowing it to drip in the drip carafe. In fact, I might even consider cleaning out some used coffee filters from the drip maker and save them for this purpose. I don’t know. I’ll figure it out.What do I think about this particular model? I do like it, but I cannot claim that the coffee tastes any better or worse than the drip. The difference between the two are that the drip maker pours hot water over the grinds, which drips into carafe. Whereas, the process of the press is to pour water into the grounds, soak them and push all the water out of the grounds at the bottom of the water with the plunger. I assumed the press would require fewer grounds, since they soak in the water, but I didn’t see a difference. The perculator, on the other hand, seems to split the difference. It uses the drip method by sucking up heated water from the pot and spitting it out over the grinds, which drips back into the water. It repeats this process, soaking the grinds like the French Press soaks it’s grinds, until the coffee becomes strong.I don’t think I’ll use this French Press every day. But it will come in handy when I run out of filters, when I just need a single cup of coffee, or if/when the drip coffee maker breaks down.”

Customer Review: “Nice and simple press, its easy to clean and it’s filters hold down the grounds well, the plunger is form fitting not allowing grains past it. It also looks nice.”

Customer Review: “I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to make excellent coffee with a French press. The direct infusion method really does make a difference in flavor quality. The coffee tastes amazing, and you truly get to control the brewing process.A pro tip: grind your own beans and go slightly coarser. It minimizes sediment getting through the filter, though I had very few issues anyway. Even without this extra step, the press is incredibly user-friendly.What impressed me most is the combination of quality and value. It’s affordable, easy to clean, and produces genuinely great-tasting coffee. The 304 stainless steel construction feels durable and built to last, and the sleek stainless steel color looks amazing on my kitchen counter. This has completely changed how I approach my daily coffee. A definite game-changer. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their coffee experience without the complexity or cost of expensive equipment.”​

Customer Review: “Great quality for the price. Its attractive, works well, and even comes with spare mesh so it lasts a long time. Its also easy to clean, lightweight, and the capacity is great for 1 or 2 people. The coffee stays a decent temperature if you do a shorter steeping time.”

Customer Review: “The french press is a staple in any coffee lover’s setup of makers or brewers. This timeless piece of engineering creates a great, full-bodied cup without all the hassle of perfecting pouring techniques or needing a large budget or space with more elaborate setups. All that’s needed is the french press, a decent scale, beans along with the grinder (to control your grind size), and a way to heat water. This is usually a coffee lover’s gateway into brewing cups other than instant coffee at the supermarket. It’s not too difficult to use, and the cups are usually consistent and end up being less frustrating in the long run compared to pour-overs.It would be advisable to stick with darker or medium roasts with a french press since you’re aiming for full-bodied cups which contain more oils and fines. A super expensive grinder is not necessary, which makes an entry-level grinder such as a Hario with ceramic burrs, or a pentagonal stainless steel burr hand grinder (i.e. Timemore C2, Hario Smart G Pro) decent options. This plays into the affordability factor, though a more expensive burr hand grinder is always welcome.After all the frustration as well as fulfillment that goes along with pour-over coffee equipment, as well as brewers, it’s great to go back to more simple methods. Paper filters are also not necessary, which makes one less thing to worry about. The cups are great to drink with its high temperature and full-bodied flavor. Clean up isn’t too bad with this french press either. It also makes a great cup of tea if you’re using loose-leaf. Aside from the functionality, it looks amazing on your kitchen counter.”

Customer Review: “I was always very curious about the french press method of brewing coffee, but never really got into it. Being away from my espresso machine, I really wanted to try something that was simply better than drip. I thought about getting the aeropress, but decided instead for the french press. Boy am I happy. So why is the french press method than drip you ask? Quite simple…*No paper filter! Coffee has a lot of natural oils in it that carry a lot of flavor. Using a paper filter traps those oils, so they never get expressed in the cup. The french press method produces a coffee that is much richer and fuller in body than any drip coffee I have ever had. I feel like I’m drinking coffee instead of cream and sugar.*Complete control over the brewing process. You control the grind, you control the temperature of the water and you control how long the water is contact with the grinds.*Steeping vs. Drip. Using a drip, the water goes through the grinds and out. Very little prolonged contact with the water. Also, it’s very common to see channels develop in the basket which leads to underextraction. With the press, all the grounds are completely submerged within the water for however long you decide. Better extraction, just don’t let them sit in there too long.Sometimes you hear of people complaining that there are too many grinds left in the cup using a press. Here is some good advice: “Don’t skimp on the grinder”. Toss your whirly-blade away (or relegate it to spices) and get yourself a burr grinder. I use a rocky with my french press, but you don’t have to buy a $300 grinder for french press. You’ll probably want to spend no less than 60. I’ve heard good things about the antiqua from bodum, the infinity from capresso and pretty much anything in the baratza line-up. Why such an expensive grinder you ask? Well you need to grind your own for any method of coffee brewing you use (throw the folgers out the door), but you need a fairly consistent grind. Whirly-blades will give you a lot of dust and coffee boulders; neither are very good for coffee brewing. Also, if you think that there is any possibility you might one day venture out into the world of espresso, go for no less than the gaggia mdf, or better yet a rocky. Nothing below those two will give you a grind for espresso. (End grinder tirade) Using a good grinder, the amount of grinds in the cup will be exceptionally minimal. You do get a little bit of coffee dust into the cup, but it’s hardly noticeable and usually settles out into the very bottom of the cup. The filter on the press does a very nice job of keeping the grounds out.I read somewhere in one of the amazon reviews that the press doesn’t go down far enough to really press the coffee. I’m not sure how much coffee this person was using, but I use slightly less than the recommended amount and I am able to press the grounds quite firmly.This particular 3-cup model will make about 8-10 oz of brewed coffee. You can’t quite get all 12oz of water in with the grounds, and some of the water gets soaked up in to the grounds. This is the perfect amount for me, since I only drink one cup-a-day, but if you drink more, go for a bigger model. Make sure not to leave the brewed coffee sitting in the press. Pour out any you don’t drink immediately into some kind of thermal carafe to keep it warm. The unit itself solid enough. Obviously the glass is breakable, so don’t go bouncing it off the floor. Cleanup is pretty easy. I rinse out the press, put some soap in the bottom, fill with water, and plunge up and down a few times and let it set while I drink my coffee. Make sure you keep the press clean, previously brewed coffee grounds are very good at ruining your coffee.As far as how to brew french press, check out the guide over at coffeegeek, but also look at the Illy method of preparation as they detail on their site. Decide which one you like better.The only improvement I would like to see would be some sort of thermal insulation to keep the coffee warm while it brews. The coffee is still hot when I’m ready to pour into the cup, but it would still be nice. Make sure to preheat your press with some how tap water. Bodum does make thermal french presses, but they come at a higher price point.Overall, great little brewer that comes at a very affordable price-point. Pair this with a good grinder as some freshly roasted beans (you’re not still using folgers are you?), and you’ve got a recipe for excellent coffee.”

Customer Review: “This is my first French press coffee maker. Over the past year, I have been trying to expand my coffee-making skills using several pieces of equipment which I have purchased based upon many, many online reviews. My first purchase was a Cuisinart grind and brew coffee maker, which is impressive and makes pretty good coffee. However, in reading further about coffee making machines and wishing to get a machine capable of making a quick but satisfying-tasting cup of coffee, I read up on all the k-cup machines but found mostly negative reviews about the taste of k-cup coffee as well as the negative impact of the disposal of the cups. Mind you my wife is not a connoisseur of fine coffee and only wants a hot cup of whatever. Thus, when I finally decided upon the Bunn MyCafe brewer, which reviews had scored best in taste because of its ability to brew at a higher temperature than the others and with four different drawers for different brewing functions, she offered only a roll of the eyes for my effort. The Bunn machine is impressive, especially when using the ground coffee drawer with an EkoBrew filter. The k-cup drawer suits my wife fine, because it’s quick and convenient. but for me, not so much. Now we owned two coffee-making machines with the accompanying loss of counter space. The wife still uses the original Cuisinart most of the time with the resulting waste of coffee as she brews a full twelve cup pot but only drinks perhaps a third of it. I have been experimenting with the Bunn using different types of Peets (my favorite brand) whole bean coffee ground in a Cuisinart burr grinder which I purchased with another wifely eye-roll. But the connoisseurs say grind your own with a burr grinder…I have discovered several combinations of coffee and grinds in my Bunn that I like, but I won’t bother to reveal them since the purpose of this review is not my machines and coffees, but is my review of the SterlingPro Double Wall Stainless Steel French Press. However, I felt it was necessary to first take you through the process whereby I arrived at its purchase.So, let’s get to the review:At first sight, this is an impressive looking machine with its beautifully polished stainless steel. Even my eye-rolling wife likes the looks of it sitting on our kitchen counter. It feels and looks very sturdy and uses double stainless filter screens to give the press extra efficiency at keeping the coffee free of grounds. I don’t know how long the screens are supposed to last, but I suspect that they will do their work for a long time. Even so, the press comes with two spare screens packed with it—a nice touch. Some have questioned the metal on metal sound of the screens as the plunger is pressed. There is some such noise, but I haven’t found it to be a problem since the pressing is most effective when done very slowly.The press is double walled and all stainless steel. There is no plastic anywhere. Thus the press keeps the water hotter while the coffee is steeping. I have been pouring the water just off the boil and allowing it to steep for four minutes. I have been stirring the coffee with a bamboo chop stick for a few seconds after the water is poured then putting the lid and plunger in. After a timed four minutes, I plunge very slowly until I feel it reach bottom. I then pour into my cup. I use 24 ounces of water to 4 tablespoons coarsely ground coffee. After pouring a 12 oz. cup, I pour the remainder into a small thermos to keep it hot. I do this because if left in the French Press, the remaining coffee will continue to extract to the point of bitterness. I have arrived at this procedure through trial and error and recommend that users spend time experimenting to find what works best for you. I do recommend that you not try to brew only one cup as I have found that doing so results in an excessive amount of sludge in the bottom of your coffee cup. Even with 2 twelve oz. cups, I find it necessary to pour the second cup very carefully leaving just a small amount of liquid unpoured in the pot.Clean up of the pot and its mechanism is vey easy. The plunger rod unscrews from the screens and screen holder quickly and allows the screens to be rinsed along with the other parts. If the rod is screwed too tightly at the bottom, you may have to use a pair of pliers to unscrew it initially but thereafter, it shouldn’t be a problem. After cleaning the plunger assembly, I then just rinse out the grounds remaining in the bottom of the pot and wipe clean with a soapy sponge to keep oils from accumulating on the walls of the pot. A quick rinse of the pot and I’m done.Finally, the StirlingPro has produced the best coffee of all my three machines living up to the many praises I have been reading about French Press coffee. Admittedly, I am very new to this, but I expect that I won’t be buying another coffee machine for awhile. At this stage, I would wholeheartedly recommend this Press.”

Customer Review: “Wow!! I have had a few glass beaker style presses I broke every single one! Most presses are smaller than this one too. My daughter works at a major coffee house chain and she says this is the best press she has ever seen! I have had a few small ones from that coffee shop. We do use their coffee she grinds it at work to French press grind. I could do it ever time from the beans but we go through a bag so quick I don’t find a difference at all! Easy to buy a bag of coffee and ask them to French press grind. I have used finner ground coffee and with the two screen system it is just fine! (A special holiday coffee we enjoyed was already ground and it was fine! Worked just as good) I find the French press grind gives more flavor and is easier to work with and rinse out. I am not easy on things they must be tough! After I broke the last one I said enough I am going steel! I will NEVER have glass again! I can’t imagine why they even make them that way they shouldall be like this! It pours amazing makes my French press experience a better sensory experience. I love all the smells, the act of making the coffee this way and everything about it! This one is a liter and that’s a good amount! I immediately pour it into an insulated carfat to stop it from brewing any more! I can’t even tell you how amazing the two screen system is! I am so in love with this press I will use this one as long as they keep making them lol I don’t see why I would need to ever buy a new one but you never know. We actually carry this if we travel along with our steel electric kettle I know that’s a lot but we really love the French press coffee. We can make it at relatives we are staying with or especially with the electric kettle we can make it in hotel rooms! We just put the kettle the press the caraft and the coffee into a backpack. Yes that’s love. If you don’t French press it’s time to start. You will be spoiled I promise it is THAT much better. You wait on your drip machine too so please remember that when I go through how I do the press. If you thinking about starting to press do it don’t hesitate buy this now!!! If your looking for something new or replacing your broke your broke stop breaking them and buy this one. I have recommend it to French pressers and coffe lovers both!Here is my process…Heat just over a liter of water in my electric kettle using the French press setting. If you don’t have that setting or if your heating water on the stove stop the heating just before it boils French press is done at 200 degrees. While the water is heating I prep the thermal press by putting hot water in it from the sink and let it sit while the water heats. A half cup of grounds is what we like so just before the water is ready I pour the water out of the press and add in the half cup of ground coffee. Pour the kettle heater water into the press over the coffee. I swirl the press a bit as I pour the water in. You need to agaitate all the grounds good. Once all the water is in I use a longer small wooden spoon to give it a good stir. I tap the press to get the grounds off it. A beautiful creame sould form on the top (so deliteful to me). Place the lid on plunger up with the lid spun to ‘closed’ don’t press the plunger yet. I set a timer 4 mins. When it goes off Press the plunger down. Spin the lid around to ‘open’ even though it will pour some in the closed mode it is not sealed just helps with the brew process. I pour a cup and the pour it into a steel thermal caraft or something else the thermal craft from Amazon is my choice. I don’t keep it in the press because it will continue to brew some. I pull the plunger out with the lid drop it into the sink dump the majority of the grounds in the trash. Take the press back to the sink rinse it out. Then I grab up the plunger loosen the screens by spinning them just with the ends of my finger, don’t keep it tight there is really no need hand tight is good. I rinse all the grounds from the screens, spin it back hand tight with my fingers, I press the edges of the screens back to a flat shape so it tight in the press next time I use it, lay it across the press to dry. Every few time I use it I clean the screens good. Caution: after some use the metal screen edges are folded over on them to keep from being sharp but it starts to lift and can be very sharp! I totally unscrew the screens I drop them in a little bowl with dish soap along with the top and bottom that hold the screens. I will also put them in the dish washer, all of it in fact. Rinse them good with hot water if your washing them and put it back on. My favorite way to clean them and the best clean I get is to lay all four pieces (top 2 screens and the bottom) in the sink spray them down with bleach cleaner let them set rinse and put them back on. I wipe the bottom of the lid with a paper towel it really is the only way to get that creame stain off it. It’s steel so it wipes up good! Looks brand new! They don’t have to be perfect all the time as long as the grounds are rinsed out after the press. It comes with extra screens. I have been using this particular press about 5 months and they are sharp on the bottom but I have not put the new ones on yet. You can also get replacement screens. Most presses need new screens from time to time. Sounds complicated but it’s not. You wait on that drip machine I wait on the water, pour, let it brew, come back, coffee! It’s about a 10 min process part of that is waiting on the water and the coffee to brew them rinse out the press. It is the best coffee you will have ever taste!!! This is the most perfect press I have ever used! So durable! Easy to get the ground out and rinse, I don’t have to worry about breaking it! I need tough things lol! I will NEVER ever own another glass press! It’s insulated so it holds the temperature perfect while brewing and not loose heat during the brew! Buy this press you will love it!! If you don’t press yet I would say this would be the best press for a starter or a French press pro! The best coffee I have ever had. My husband would still use the drip machine if I was not available to press for him in the glass presses but he will do this one our drip machine is gone! If you like good coffee with the flavor you coffee intends to have you will love this press! My husband and I pass up the coffee shops now because we have something better than they make in our cups or we are headed home and would rather wait to have our coffee! Saves us a lot of money! Stop looking purchase this one! I don’t give out 5 stars!! It is a 10!!”

Customer Review: “THIS WAS FANTASTIC AS IT IS SO EASY TO USE DOESN’T REQUIRE ELECTRICITY AND IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE DELICIOUS COFFEE TO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS. IT HOLDS FOUR CUPS AND HAS A SIMPLE DESIGN. THOUGH VERY EFFICIENT IT IS ALSO BEAUTIFUL. THE STRENGTH OF THE DESIGN IS AMAZING AND IT CAN BE DIASSEMBLED FOR CLEANING. I DO FIRST BOIL THE WATER FOR THE COFFEE IN A TEA KETTLE ON THE STOVE THEN BY FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS YOUR COFFEE SHOULD COME OUT TO THE STRENGHT YOU PREFER. IT IS EASY TO CLEAN WITH A LIQUID DISH SOAP AND WARM WATER. COFFEE MAKERS CAN BURN OUT AND I FELT THIS WAS THE BETTER VALUE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.”
