If they weren't being deceptive they would Have put chine made french press It certainly is deceptive and made in china means made in china. The reason people don't want things made in china...as the person who made this ad certainly knows.. Is because they have sent toxic things out of their country for consumption on multiple occasions. So keep your judgment and crap to yourself. Solid answer. One word fact. Country of origin. Period. Other people can make up this kind if they want the product with the information they asked for and without you trying to defend china made materials. China don't care about you and they don't need your help. Obviously we know our houses have been filled with crap and have become savvy in asking where it's made to avoid continuing to fill our houses with toxic cheap items

I have bought three Mueller Austria products and have been thrilled with the quality and value. Yes, it is "Austrian" in quality. From Liquid Image: "No, Mueller Austria is not a Chinese company. It is a family-owned business based in the United States. The company is best known for its product line of kitchen appliances, tools, and cookware. The company was founded by Helmut Mueller, an Austrian immigrant, in 1927, and is still owned and operated by his descendants." Who the heck cares if the family still celebrates their Austrian heritage? There is now a ridiculous class action lawsuit about Mueller Austria in California. Because a shill for lawyers (won't mention her name as the 'class representative') is suing because she says 'reasonable consumers' would assume the products are made in Austria. Anyone with half a brain will realize that in these days we are a global economy. Companies originate from one place and to save costs end up manufacturing in China or other places. The plaintiff claims 'suffering' and that she would paid less had it not had the "Austria" designation. This is patently ridiculous, because the product quality is excellent and well worth the price. I signed up to receive the proposed settlement, which is $15-30 per applicant based on the number of Mueller Austria items I've purchased (3 so far, plan on purchasing more in the future. Why? because the QUALITY is good). The lawyers will receive up to $200,000 and the 'class representative', the 'poor, deceived' person, will receive $1500. Nice work if you can get it. Although I'm happy to receive the money if the court decides to give it (Mueller Austria has agreed to the settlement), I'm still going to write a letter to the court stating an objection to this frivolous lawsuit. I'll be even happier if the suit is dismissed. Frivolous lawsuits like this are increasing our costs in California.

How often do I need to replace filters?

The filters are made of stainless steel fine mesh that is pressed into shape. Over time, they do get rough around the edges or may bend differently. They last a long time, do not erode, but after a few years may need to be replaced. The edges fit snugly when new, but with use, may bend and warp so ground may leak into coffee. Having 1-2 on hand ensures years of carefree use.

how much coffee does it make?

Depends on what you consider a "cup" of coffee :-) It makes 4 eight ounce cups of coffee. The way most coffee drinkers get their morning jolt with a 12-16 ounce cup of coffee. This insulated French Press makes a great cup of coffee and keeps it hot.
