This review is for the 1.75L stainless french press.

I normally don't give 5 stars to anything unless I absolutely love it - but this one I do. The difficulty in finding a metal french press this large is difficult, and I consider myself fortunate to have found this one. The specific needs I use it for work great, and the price was decent enough. At the time I bought this ($60 USD Dec 2019) other options were more money for less volume.

I like French Presses though my wife isn't a big fan. But have you recently priced out a replacement carafe for a drip coffee maker? If you can even find one? I swear it's like a rigged system - they keep changing the darn things so that you have to buy a whole new machine just to get some freaking coffee in the morning!

What does this have to do with this french press? EVERYTHING. Unlike the majority of other french presses out there THIS ONE (1.75L) is just about the same size as a drip coffee carafe (the typical Mr Coffee kind) which my wife & I use daily. BUT - this is steel. As in, it won't break (under reasonable uses folks, I'm not issuing a challenge!). Every time my wife or I break our drip coffee carafe I cringe (don't laugh, it's like a 3 year cycle I swear!) because I've no idea if we can find a replacement or if we'll have to pay a ridiculous price for a whole new machine (have you priced one out lately? just for the cringe go do it). Now I don't have those worries, as next time we break the stupid thing we won't have to rush out to find a replacement - I've got this nice french press standing by.

For further functionality this french press *also* replaces my camp percolator. I don't mean that I sit it on top of a fire or burner (that would be very stupid), but that once the water in the kettle/pot is hot I can just use the french press to make coffee in minutes instead of needing it to percolate for a half hour or so. And when you're camping getting hot coffee sooner is better than later! Especially when it's cold outside.

The insulating nature of the carafe of this french press is a real nice perk - something the glass varieties do not really offer. The coffee definitely stays hot for more than enough time for my wife & I to drink it. Serving coffee after dinner to guests is nice too, and the stainless finish goes with any setting (if you're picky about that sort of thing). This french press is by no means 'ugly'.

The screens are decent quality and don't have any loose wires/snares. The interior parts are strong and robust enough to last. If you want to filter it even more than just the screens you can place a drip filter over the plunger before you press it down (my wife's biggest annoyance with french presses is the 'grit', which for me is the part I kinda like?). The interior finish of the steel carafe is easily scrubbed clean of residue, and after a time a steel wool pad can buff out the eventual coffee stains and bring it back to a nice shine.

I recommend this product to anyone who uses a drip coffee maker and is looking for either a backup or a replacement. I also recommend it to anyone who goes camping a lot (like we do) and would like to speed up the process compared to the traditional percolator. Mostly I recommend this product due to it's size, as others are too small and when entertaining require you to make multiple batches - with this you can make one and probably be fine.

I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase and after using it many times have no regrets.

This is the perfect stainless steel double filter insulated French press. It will keep your coffee warm for quite a while at least 4 hours I'd say haven't really tested it.
Instead of pouring coffee in some kind of thermos you can just leave it in this french press after you have brewed your coffee.

I'd say it fits about four standard size coffee cups. And it pairs perfectly with just about stainless steel electric teapot or whatever those things are called.
I don't Brew coffee everyday but when I do it's when I usually need it the most.

I don't really like using coffee machines or pour over coffee etc I actually prefer French press for everything you have to do for it and every way you can create more flavor with using a French press. And it's like a little ritual of alchemy of sort.

I was looking for something exactly like this and that's what I got. I went over dozens and dozens of reviews to find this French press it is perfectly lightweight, keeps anything you brew insulated well, and that was exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need an insulated thermos for on the go.

that'll probably run me about $50 to $70. This thing is perfect for when you're just a single person it will easily fit at least four cups. Super easy to clean off the coffee grounds after each use.
Depending on how light or strong you like it, it will make it the way you choose.. I like a good strong Brew so I use about eight to 10 spoonfulls or more.

With a coffee machine you often end up filtering out all the grounds and some of the oils from the ground beans. Plus coffee machines make it a bigger mess if it is not programmed properly or set up in the perfect way for it to have the water pass through all the grounds with the hope of having some somewhat decent coffee. All I can say is I've never had any good luck or experience with a coffee machine of any type or brand.

With a French press it usually incorporates a little bit of coffee grounds and some if not most of the oils. This way of doing things really brings out the flavor and strength more than a coffee machine would or pour over for that matter. But opinion and plenty of years of experience for brewing one way or another. This press is neatly sized as far as how wide it is and how tall it is. Plus it is not one of those Glass and metal combo type of French press that you see so often and almost every search.
I think you will be greatly satisfied with how long it keeps drinks insulated I have also used this for tea.

Usually it's a good idea to use a product for a little while before writing a review. In this instance a "little while" is seven whole years.
We've used this 3-4 time per week since we purchased it in 2016, and it looks practically brand new. The construction is phenomenal, its easy to use and clean, and it looks great in our kitchen.
Nothing short of the apocalypse would break it, but in that unlikely event I would definitely purchase it again.

Wow!! I have had a few glass beaker style presses I broke every single one! Most presses are smaller than this one too. My daughter works at a major coffee house chain and she says this is the best press she has ever seen! I have had a few small ones from that coffee shop. We do use their coffee she grinds it at work to French press grind. I could do it ever time from the beans but we go through a bag so quick I don't find a difference at all! Easy to buy a bag of coffee and ask them to French press grind. I have used finner ground coffee and with the two screen system it is just fine! (A special holiday coffee we enjoyed was already ground and it was fine! Worked just as good) I find the French press grind gives more flavor and is easier to work with and rinse out. I am not easy on things they must be tough! After I broke the last one I said enough I am going steel! I will NEVER have glass again! I can't imagine why they even make them that way they should
all be like this! It pours amazing makes my French press experience a better sensory experience. I love all the smells, the act of making the coffee this way and everything about it! This one is a liter and that's a good amount! I immediately pour it into an insulated carfat to stop it from brewing any more! I can't even tell you how amazing the two screen system is! I am so in love with this press I will use this one as long as they keep making them lol I don't see why I would need to ever buy a new one but you never know. We actually carry this if we travel along with our steel electric kettle I know that's a lot but we really love the French press coffee. We can make it at relatives we are staying with or especially with the electric kettle we can make it in hotel rooms! We just put the kettle the press the caraft and the coffee into a backpack. Yes that's love. If you don't French press it's time to start. You will be spoiled I promise it is THAT much better. You wait on your drip machine too so please remember that when I go through how I do the press. If you thinking about starting to press do it don't hesitate buy this now!!! If your looking for something new or replacing your broke your broke stop breaking them and buy this one. I have recommend it to French pressers and coffe lovers both!
Here is my process...
Heat just over a liter of water in my electric kettle using the French press setting. If you don't have that setting or if your heating water on the stove stop the heating just before it boils French press is done at 200 degrees. While the water is heating I prep the thermal press by putting hot water in it from the sink and let it sit while the water heats. A half cup of grounds is what we like so just before the water is ready I pour the water out of the press and add in the half cup of ground coffee. Pour the kettle heater water into the press over the coffee. I swirl the press a bit as I pour the water in. You need to agaitate all the grounds good. Once all the water is in I use a longer small wooden spoon to give it a good stir. I tap it on the side of the press to get the grounds off it. A beautiful creame sould form on the top (so deliteful to me). Place the lid on plunger up with the lid spun to "˜closed' don't press the plunger yet. I set a timer 4 mins. When it goes off Press the plunger down. Spin the lid around to "˜open' even though it will pour some in the closed mode it is not sealed just helps with the brew process. I pour a cup and the pour it into a steel thermal caraft or something else the thermal craft from Amazon is my choice. I don't keep it in the press because it will continue to brew some. I pull the plunger out with the lid drop it into the sink dump the majority of the grounds in the trash. Take the press back to the sink rinse it out. Then I grab up the plunger loosen the screens by spinning them just with the ends of my finger, don't keep it tight there is really no need hand tight is good. I rinse all the grounds from the screens, spin it back hand tight with my fingers, I press the edges of the screens back to a flat shape so it tight in the press next time I use it, lay it across the press to dry. Every few time I use it I clean the screens good. Caution: after some use the metal screen edges are folded over on them to keep from being sharp but it starts to lift and can be very sharp! I totally unscrew the screens I drop them in a little bowl with dish soap along with the top and bottom that hold the screens. I will also put them in the dish washer, all of it in fact. Rinse them good with hot water if your washing them and put it back on. My favorite way to clean them and the best clean I get is to lay all four pieces (top 2 screens and the bottom) in the sink spray them down with bleach cleaner let them set rinse and put them back on. I wipe the bottom of the lid with a paper towel it really is the only way to get that creame stain off it. It's steel so it wipes up good! Looks brand new! They don't have to be perfect all the time as long as the grounds are rinsed out after the press. It comes with extra screens. I have been using this particular press about 5 months and they are sharp on the bottom but I have not put the new ones on yet. You can also get replacement screens. Most presses need new screens from time to time. Sounds complicated but it's not. You wait on that drip machine I wait on the water, pour, let it brew, come back, coffee! It's about a 10 min process part of that is waiting on the water and the coffee to brew them rinse out the press. It is the best coffee you will have ever taste!!! This is the most perfect press I have ever used! So durable! Easy to get the ground out and rinse, I don't have to worry about breaking it! I need tough things lol! I will NEVER ever own another glass press! It's insulated so it holds the temperature perfect while brewing and not loose heat during the brew! Buy this press you will love it!! If you don't press yet I would say this would be the best press for a starter or a French press pro! The best coffee I have ever had. My husband would still use the drip machine if I was not available to press for him in the glass presses but he will do this one our drip machine is gone! If you like good coffee with the flavor you coffee intends to have you will love this press! My husband and I pass up the coffee shops now because we have something better than they make in our cups or we are headed home and would rather wait to have our coffee! Saves us a lot of money! Stop looking purchase this one! I don't give out 5 stars!! It is a 10!!

The aroma and the process of making coffee with this French press is enjoyable. Also, it is easy to use and clean and I like that the filters are reusable. After pouring a cup, the rest goes into a metal container that retains heat for a couple hours. The last cup tastes as rich and hot as the first. This coffee maker is a few years old and it still looks new. Spoil yourself with great tasting coffee with this French press!
