Larger presses make worse coffee, IMO, if you only make a little. The proportion seems off and the press doesn’t want to go down low enough for the small volume of coffee. I did that for many years until I got a small one. I’m very gentle/even/level/slow with my press technique.
I don’t want plastic, which is why I don’t go with an Aeropress. I also don’t want to get into disposable filters.
The latest one that broke was a good steel one. Sigh.
Metal fatigue is possible - it’s room temp when hot water goes in, but I don’t rinse until it’s cooled down (because I’m drinking the coffee). I would hope it’d tolerate going from room temperature to hot water…
