Can someone tell me if the inside becomes coffee stained after a while of use?

I have owned mine for several months, and have forgotten to empty it on occasion, and no, it does not become coffee stained. I absolutely love this French Press, I was most concerned about the flavor, but it is fantastic, and the bonus of staying hot......just terrific......I highly recommend .......Yours truly, the coffee snob!

I put it in the bottom of my dishwasher every month & the pusher in the top. Can do more often but the English in me shutters at over cleaning a coffee or tea pot! This is the best french press pot. Period. (And that's the truth!)

I have been using this daily for a couple years. The inside washes up good as new in the dishwasher.

I've had mine for years. The container does not get stained. The mesh filter does a little, as it is harder to clean.

The inside of the pot is brushed stainless. Mine hasn't discolored in years of use. BUT, the plastic filter ring does become discolored. The thin silicone rubber gasket on the ring seems to discolor the most, and after a couple of years it tends to tear, needing replacement.

I've had this mug for about 6 months now. I make coffee and/or hot chocolate in it several times a week and haven't noticed any discoloration.

Same as previous answer. We've had ours installed for about 2 years now. We rinse it out after each use and its not stained

Wipe the inside with a cleaner. Turn roaster and it cleans itself. Take side cover off and vacuum the dust and coffee particles.

I have experienced my grounds to be quite soupy or watery when I go to dump them out. Not sure if it's normal, but it's been a bit messy. I try to let it drip out for as long as I can before cleaning the whole little coffee basket out under hot running water. Hope this helps.

I think the key to your question is: "too much". This press is a good coffee maker for the price and has not presented any problems, so far (I've had the press for a year and a half.) Answering your question: there is a residue of grounds left but not excessive. Good luck.

This I do not know. Ours is flashing "clean," but we have yet to clean it. Still working and coffee tasting fine, so I haven't attempted a cleaning.

Mine has been in constant use for quite some time now and I have had no residual plastic taste in my coffee. I am a serious coffee drinker and am particular about the flavor. I can assure you that I haven't experienced it with this particular pot.

I put my lid in the dishwasher, yes. Due to the coffee, not the dishwasher, be aware that the white lid does stain.

I've had mine for over 6 years. On a daily basis, I just rinse it in the sink, collar and all. Over time (months?) the glass will develop a coffee stain on the inside with my daily method, so every once in a blue moon I get motivated with a bottle brush and soap to clean the stain away. Over six years of this, and the collar is just fine.

I have had my coffee maker about as long as you have. I did not experience any problems with my coffee maker. I think my coffee maker was a very good purchase.

Mine lasted for well over a year before it started to leak underneath the bottom, even had it cleaned it out which it seemed to work fine for a few uses before starting to leak once more. Really sad to be having this problem as I absolutely love this coffee maker!

I've had my Cuisinart Thermal coffee maker for a over a year. Like all of you, I saw how the inside would get darker and darker over time. I used Dip-it Coffee pot cleaner and boiling water. Worked great. Vinegar works wonders on a good cleanup of the internal system. This is one of the best Coffee makers for the price.

No, the inside is plastic! I use mine for continuous brew kombucha as well!

My experience indicates that it will last for a long time if carefully washed using baking soda to remove the coffee grounds stains, and not scrubbing with anything heavy.

Not at first; but, I have noticed some grounds in the last year probably because my coffee maker needs a new filter screen. However, a few coffee grounds have not changed my mind about this little beauty--and it still looks as good as new--I love it and the coffee it makes. I consider it one of the better purchases I have made for my kitchen.

Yeah, mine has vertical cracks up the sides now, and you can hear it crackling when I pour in the hot water. It's never been in the dishwasher, I always washed it by hand. It leaks coffee when pressed. Kind of disappointed in it. Back to the glass one, I guess.
