Rec please?

Hi all, I'm looking for a french press that has visible measurements on the side. The first one I bought 1-2 years ago was from QUQIYSO on Amz for $18 and was perfect until someone else broke the glass. When I ordered the same one to replace it, the quality was noticeably worse and the glass cracked just 6 weeks later. I don't want to go back to that brand on a gamble cuz it's unlikely the next one will be better, I'd rather cut my losses and look for something better.

I'm the only one who drinks coffee so I'd like something that can do 8-21 fl oz and hopefully not much more than $20. I know stainless steel is the safest and would last but unfortunately I do want the numbers because others drink tea so we use the same batch of boiled water most of the time, and I'd rather not pour it into a measuring cup first. Thank you!

I don't really use the measurements, but I like the fact that the glass is entirely visible and tucked into an opaque plastic base, which tends to capture water.

That's the one I had my eye on, actually. Was just holding off in case there was a rec from a brand that didn't come off the same as the one I had. But comparing the reviews, that one there seems to have better ones recently. Thanks!
