This press works great.It's easy to press the plunger (even though I have not yet acquired a good grinder to give consistent coarse grounds...my grinder is about as crappy as you can get), it's easy to clean and the coffee tastes great (richer, thicker and more smooth)...much better than a drip.I asked for the Bodum because of its reputation for quality and so far, I'm impressed.
I typically make enough coffee to fill 2 typical mugs (about 16-20 oz of coffee) and the unit appears about 2/3 full.I've not tried to make a full 34 oz, but it doesn't appear to really hold that much.We'll see.
The thermal sleeve is a bit of a waste, though.You really shouldn't leave coffee in a french press to sit because the flavors will continue to extract to the point of bitterness.I make two cups and pour the second into a small thermos until I'm ready.So, if you plan on drinking more than one cup out of this yourself, plan on acquiring a small thermos for this purpose.
My only other concern is that I have read reviews about cracking glass.I'd still prefer glass to any plastic container (not convinced of the safety/health of using plastics with hot products).As an engineer, I would recommend filling the unit with hot tap water while the water for your coffee is heating to near boiling.This will preheat the glass and minimize the thermal stresses as a result of pouring ~200 degree water into a room temperature glass container.Also, I would recommend letting the glass cool to room temperature before trying to wash/rinse with tap water.
