High Quality and Great Coffee
Iâve had this French press coffee maker for almost one year. I like it because it is stainless, sturdy, has clean lines and is easy to hand wash and maintain. It makes a great cup of coffee that is not bitter, even though I brew mine fairly strong. The 17oz. version is good for one large mug or two small â medium cups of coffee. They make a one liter (34oz.) and other sizes if you are serving more. For French press generally, one is supposed to use a slightly coarser grind than regular, store bought, but with this one you can add an extra filter for finer grinds, similar to expresso. I use ordinary ground coffee, usually a strong coffee like Sumatra. Just one of the supplied metal filters works fine to keep these grounds from getting through. I have had zero problems with wear and tear. Some tips on making it: They describe it as having a double wall construction, which is the same as a thermos. It seems light enough for that to be the case. Despite its good thermal properties, I nonetheless preheat the pot by pouring hot water into the empty carafe and letting it sit for a few minutes. Ultimately, this keeps your coffee warmer as your final product does not lose as much temperature by heat transfer to the metal container. (Remember, once you mix hot water into the grounds it has to sit for 5 minutes before you pour.) Once the carafe is heated for a few minutes, dump the water you heated it with and put in your coffee grounds. Slowly pour in your hot water for the coffee, leaving enough room for the thick lid and filter mechanism. Then turn the lid to lock it (arrow facing away from the spout) and slowly push down on the press. I usually take about 15 seconds to push it almost all the way down. I believe this allows the coffee to impart flavor without bitterness. Fifteen seconds seems like a long time when doing this. The results are the reward for a little patience. (After all, you would not be using a French press if you needed an automatic brewer while heating a Pop Tart for 10 seconds in your microwave as you run for the door.) Turn the lid arrow back to align with the pouring spout and dispense gently into your cup. Highly recommended. – JPK

Coffee Goodness
Not sure what else I can add among 30k plus reviews with a solid 4.7 star rating…says a lot about this impressive coffee press. Im a huge fan of French Pressed coffee and had two other glass type presses. Both unfortunately either cracked, or broke due to my own mishandling and falling victim to my kitchen granite countertop. I decided this time around to steer clear of glass and most importantly the plastic tops that accompany most glass type presses. Im looking to cut as much plastic related products in my life due to recent health studies of micro plastics showing up in our arteries leading to potential strokes and heart attacks. The solid steel construction of this press is not only a more durable option but a healthier one as well. I’m also finding that the steel along with the thermal insulation is keeping my coffee hotter longer vs my older glass presses. The coffee is always excellent (smooth, rich , and balanced) and all I use is Maxwell House Original Blend with no brewing problems whatsoever. This is a solid well built coffee press for the price and any coffee lover in your life would absolutely love it as a gift. The other thing I really like is it doesn’t take up counter top space and cleaning the press is super easy. Im obviously a huge fan and would recommend this to any coffee connoisseur!

Luxurious Experience
I bought two – the 17oz for tea and the 34oz for coffee. I just used the smaller one for loose tea. It was a luxurious experience. The product is well made, beautifully designed and keeps a perfect drinking temperature – not too hot, not too cold. I steeped at about 185-190 degrees. I made a white peony tea and installed two metal screens. The tea came out perfectly with fine delicate taste and no tea residue in the cup, although this tea is more leafy than powdery. I was tired of tea balls and the mess they make. I am very happy with the quality of this product and Iâm a tough critic. Well packaged to avoid shipping damage. Easy to set up. Cudos to the designer and manufacturer for a producing quality products. Itâs so rare these days as companies race to increase margin by producing low-priced crap and adding to landfills. This should last a good long time. Would like to be able to purchase replacement screens separately.

Works well!
Really cute coffee press. Durable, easy to wash in dishwasher, easy to use to make coffee. Itâs a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but good for just one cup of coffee.

Lets start with first view. Very shiny and makes you wonder why you even need to wash it. lolSmell the inside….. Washing it yet? lol (Come on, it’s a manufactured piece made in a factory.You need to wash it. I soaked mine in very hot soapy water for a few hours before dismantling, rinsing and washing it.Yes it fully unscrews making cleaning a breeze and at 1 litre, almost any size hand will fit.One of the first things I did was take a very strong magnet to every piece without getting any attraction what so ever.This is made of great quality and should stand the test of time.It comes with 2 extra filters but if this is for a single person who has a couple of coffees a day, this is perfect.32 ounces is enough to fill a very large travel mug too.I wouldn’t remove a star for it and it is just something you have to live with in the design of the filters.The edges are rolled over and tend to trap coffee grounds in them when trying to clean the filter in the sink.It just takes a little effort and you will likely never need the 2 included spare ones.Attractive design and looks great on the counter top too.

Prensa muito robusta e resistente!Excelente o fato dela vir com 3 filtros, pois assim a gente alÃ©m de ter reservas, pode tambÃ©m utilizar ambos, caso nÃ£o tenha disponÃvel um cafÃ© com moagem mais grossa, prÃ³pria para prensas francesas.MantÃ©m o cafÃ© quente por cerca de 30 minutos, contudo nÃ£o testei por mais tempo, pois comprei a de 500 ml, que acaba rÃ¡pido, mas acredito que segure por mais, desde que seja escaldada antes de colocar o pÃ³, independente da quantidade que for fazer.Utilizei tambÃ©m para fazer espuma de leite e o resultado ficou perfeito.FÃ¡cil de limpar e com um design bem bonito!Acredito que vÃ¡ durar por muitos anos!Recomendo para pessoas que estÃ£o comeÃ§ando no mundo do cafÃ© especial e querem ter um novo mÃ©todo de apreciar essa bebida tÃ£o boa, sem ter medo de comprar uma prensa que vÃ¡ correr o risco de quebrar, como as de vidro.

I am very pleased with my little french press! It is attractive, so during the week I have it on display on my beautiful dishes shelf, and on the weekend (when I have more morning time) I have my delicious coffee. It is the closest taste to my favourite coffee, the Americano. I found that the suggested serving size of 1 tablespoon wasn’t strong enough for me. I use 2 heaping tablespoons, and it is a better taste for me. I course ground my coffee, and not one ground came through! I only have 1 coffee per day, but if you like more than that, then I would suggest a larger size. It has been very easy to clean.
