Just got one today. There are three 8-cup models plus two smaller models at my local Target. The one that I selected is the most expensive of the three 8-cup models, which cost $40. I got it after having used a few Mr. Coffee automatic-drip machines and a home Bunn machine.
After tasting the coffee made from that French Press and the Bunn, I will switch very frequently between the two (depending on the coffee I use and whether or not I want any sediment in the brew).

so if you are not sure if the french pressed taste work for you and you also have an Ikea around, get that one.

Unfortunately, I have no Ikea nearby without having to spend several hours of commuting (I don't drive).
