Like the glass (replaces a possibly leaded ceramic press) - also holds heat better than ceramic. Jacket keeps it cool to the touch. No need to risk breaking the vessel since for most uses it cleans in place.
A small flaw: The top is plastic and the button threads were cracked so the button pulled off the rod when trying to remove the strainer. Fortunately the button (metal) and rod from the outgoing press fit the strainer socket.
Effective and inexpensive but slightly flawed
