Don't confine the pleasure of pressed coffee to home. With this combination of coffee press and vacuum-insulated thermos, European-style coffee turns up at the office or campground and stays hot three times longer than coffee made in a glass press. Simply spoon in ground coffee, add boiling water, place the lid on with plunger in the up position, wait four minutes, push down the plunger slowly, and . . . Presto! Fresh, piping-hot coffee for two or three hours. Lightweight and virtually unbreakable, the press has a handsome, satin-finish exterior and tough, nonslip, black plastic top and bottom. The press parts and smooth interior clean with sponge or cloth. --Fred Brack

Very happy with this item March 16, 2010
zamabel (Walnut Creek, CA USA)
I really like this coffee press. I end up zapping my coffee in the microwave anyway, so wasn't looking for something to keep it warm for hours, just long enough to pour into my cup! I love the fact that I can't break any more glass parts! It's really easy to clean too. My only niggles are that it lets more coffee grinds through, so I use a tea strainer when I pour the coffee, and you can't see how much is left in the pot (because there is no glass which I would otherwise break!).
Decent Press with one complaint March 16, 2010
J. Katz (davis, ca)
The Press works well, bottom line. However, it does tend to drip as you pull away the coffee cup from the press. That said, one must prepare for the drip. For the price, I would recommend it!
leaving coffee in the press March 14, 2010
Jason T. Brooks (Lakewood, CO USA)
i don't see why anyone would want to leave coffee sitting in the press with the grounds after the coffee is brewed. sounds like a recipe for acidic nastiness to me. i would pour it directly into a thermos upon brewing it. my reason for wanting stainless steel double walls would be for durability.
 Thermos Nissan Insulated Stainless Steel coffee press March 11, 2010
Burt Kaufman (Austin, TX USA)
This makes typical "French press" coffee. That is to say it makes a fairly flavorful cup, by reason of leaving a significant portion of the grounds in the coffee. That generally gives you more flavor. I have tried unscrewing the filter portion from the press, and put a paper filter (one that claims to let a certain fraction of the flavor elements through). Yes, it works and not badly, either, but It was a bit of a pain. I use the press with a Bodum water-heating pot, which boils enough for my cup (17 ounces) in under 2 minutes. While it is boiling, I get the pot ready, put in a couple measures of coffee, when the Bodum pot clicks off, I pour the water into the press and over the grounds.
4-5 minutes later, I press the filter down, pour the coffee into my cup, add apartame, 2% milk, and empty the press. (The user has to disassemble it to clean the filter, after use.) I am a convert to this method after trying out a small fortune in percolators, coffee brewers, espresso makers, even the Aeropress maker. This is permament, not subject to breakage like the glass presses, nor to cooling down before it brews, and it makes the coffee fresh each time. I got mine in September 2006, and it is still working today, exactly as delivered.
No more burnt/carbonized coffee, from leaving it sit on the electric heat pad of a coffee machine, EVER!
Fresh hot coffee, on demand. (You CAN wait 6 minutes, can't you, or 8 minutes, if you want to share?).
The Best French Press For The Money March 9, 2010
David Kelley (Seattle, WA)
This press does not quite live up to the claims that it keeps coffee warm for up to five hours, but it will keep your coffee hot for about two hours, which I consider to be amazing in and of itself.
That being said, if you need a near-indestructible french press, and you don't want to pay the obscene prices other manufacturers are charging, I highly recommend this press.
One last thing: the screen is very fragile in this press. Either take great care when washing it, or buy a couple of replacements to have around for when your original screen gets bent beyond use.
