This brewer really reminds me of the
Snowden Softbrew. It works in much the same way and produces a very similar cup. At first I thought the holes in this brewer were quite a bit larger than the holes in the Snowden:

I was afraid that this was going to lead to a cup with a lot of fines, but upon closer inspection it seems that each one of the larger holes is comprised of several smaller holes:

This produced a fairly clean cup with a flavor similar to a French Press. There were some fines, but the amount was not excessive. The cup was oily with the big body you might expect. The Forlife Coffee Infuser also makes an excellent cup of tea.
I'm a big fan of the Snowden, but I think this coffee infuser takes that design and improves on it a bit. I especially like the rubberized lid that securely attaches to the pot. One of my main gripes about the Snowden is that the lid tends to rattle around and could potentially fall off if the pot is tipped too far forward. No chance of this with the Forlife. It also a very attractive setup. I actually had 2 coworkers comment on how nice the brewer looked.
The only negative thing I can say about this brewer is that the little plastic handle on the brew basket seems flimsy and might easily break. Only time will tell.
Overall, thumbs up.
