Stelton Arne Jacobsen Press Coffee Maker - 8 Cup French Press Coffee Maker for Home & Office - Durable Stainless Steel Coffee Press for Rich & Bold Brewing

** UPDATE **I contacted Stelton, and they sent out a replacement unit free of charge. I've been using it everyday and it works perfectly.** Original **The rubber seal is defective and leaks liquid into the thermos area when filling, or washing. I discovered this 8 days after Amazon return policy had expired. This could be a one-off defect, or a problem with the entire product line. Its hard to tell from a single experience.If it wasn't for this issue I would give the Cylinda Press 5 stars, but when you pay a lot for an item, you don't expect it to fail in such a simple fashion. I'm trying to contact Stelton directly about a replacement.Let's see if the extra money I paid over and above other coffee press options will be repaid with decent customer service. I'll give them the benefit of doubt until then.
