Mothers Day Gifts for Mom Pro P7 French Press Stainless Steel 304 - Patented Double Micro-Filter for Grit-Free Coffee, Double Wall Insulated Coffee Maker, Plastic-Free & Heat Resistant - 32oz

Love this pot--keeps coffee hot for hours, traps even the tiny sediment so coffee doesn't get bitter, and looks very nice, IMO. Made well, and feels substantial Appreciated the matte finish, too. Worth the splurge...I think it will last a very long time.

Update: After three weeks of use, here's what I can tell you. This press has totally replaced my classic Bodum French press, which has been relegated to basement storage. My initial impression that it was harder to clean than the Bodum one was wrong. Actually, it's easier to clean and I never have to worry about breaking it. My annoyance that it didn't keep the coffee as hot as other reviewers promised (whoever said it keeps coffee hot four hours is lying) has totally faded because the coffee is delicious. While it does not keep the coffee hot like a thermos would, it does keep it nice and fresh and hot if you want to make a press and have it on the table throughout a leisurely breakfast while reading the newspaper or whatever. So, overall, I do stand by my bottom line. Great coffee, might not be worth the extra for the double-wall vacuum-sealed, but I can't see going back to my old press again. Original review below: I bought this after reading a NYTimes Wirecutter review of French Presses. I’ve used a classic Bodum press for two decades, but after reading about the potential cholesterol raising effects of unfiltered coffee, was looking for an alternative. I use a Clever for single-cup filtered coffee, but most days I want to brew more than one cup at a time. Enter the Espro. And as long as I was upgrading, why not go all in with the double-wall vacuum insulated model? This could be my leisurely weekend coffee maker. Well, the coffee is great, but the added expense of the double-wall, vacuum insulation is not at all worth it. Kept the coffee moderately hot for one hour. After two hours, it was unpleasantly cold. I thought this would spare me the need to decant into a thermos, thereby saving me some clean up. But since there are so more parts to the filtration system than a typical press, it’s more of a pain to clean up, and doesn’t keep the coffee very hot. Bottom line: Great filtration, but the glass or non vacuum sealer metal versions would suffice. The top of the line version doesn’t deliver on keeping coffee hot long enough to justify the high price tag.

I bought this along with a super high-quality grinder, and discovered that I kinda only needed one or the other. The mesh filters are fine enough on this that you can get away with a relatively crappy grinder. You can even use regular pre-ground coffee, and it'll come out okay. With a normal glass/single layer mesh press, using regular grounds will result in actual sludge in the bottom of your cup. With this unit, the Costco bulk ground coffee will leave some fines in your cup, but will work fine otherwise; the second layer of screening is good enough to keep the sludge at bay. If, on the other hand, you have a high quality, consistent grinder, you can buy a less expensive press and do fine. That said, pairing this with a good grinder makes absolutely *splendid* coffee. You don't necessarily need both, but I doubt you'll regret the purchase. The double filters can also help you calibrate your grinder; if the inner filter is getting many grounds on it, you probably want a slightly coarser grind. This unit is tall and skinny, and does better with a tall sink for cleaning. If you're trying to rinse it out upstairs in a standard bathroom sink, you should be able to do it, but it'll take a little maneuvering. The actual cleaning process is very easy, although you do have to clean two little baskets instead of one. It takes a wee bit longer than cleaning a standard press. The build quality seems good. Oh, one other note: because of the filter design, you end up with some coffee left in the bottom that you can't drink. You're using a more water than normal, so it takes more grounds than you're probably expecting. Further, French presses need more grounds for the same amount of coffee, because they're ground coarse and use a shorter brewing time. (normally 4 minutes.) I use six tablespoons of coffee per batch, and I get two 16-ounce cups out of it. With my older drip brewer, it took only four tablespoons. In exchange, the quality is *vastly* better, you can use almost any grounds, and after you've plunged it, the coffee stays excellent for at least an hour. Seems well worth it to me, but if your coffee budget is small, the higher consumption might be something to consider.

This French press lives up to the hype. Super nice build, not cheap feeling in any way. It replaced a small glass French press and the difference in the taste of the coffee is dramatic. This holds the temperature longer which make a big difference and the screens work very well at keeping the coffee fines out of the pour, little to none at the bottom of the cup. Extremely pleased.

It's very nice and does a good job. But it could be more efficient though. The last 10 ounces or more are always left in the press and impossible to pour it out. A better filter design is warranted. Instead of a solid flat bottom press suggest a more cone shape. That should allow all the coffee to be poured out instead of wasting a cup every use.

it clears all the grains and leaves a real coffee flavour of the country of origin of the coffee. It doesn't hurt your stomach because it takes out all the coffee powder.

Fantastisch systeem, geen koffiedrab meer in je kopje zoals met een normale French press, kortom een heerlijk kopje koffie. Echt een innovatie. Ik kan hem iedereen aanraden. Je hoeft alleen de buitenste filter eraf te draaien, dan kun je hem makkelijk schoonspoelen. Als je dat direct doet nadat de kan leeg is, dan kost dat geen enkele moeite. Laat de filters aan de lucht drogen, zodat je ze niet indeukt of los maakt met je vingers tijdens het afdrogen.

Makes an amazing cup of coffee. I found that you need an electric coffee grinder for the coffee grounds. However, even if you do have properly ground coffee, you still end up with same in the bottom of your cup. In the 32 ounce press, you end up with 3 large cups of coffee. The press keeps coffee moderately warm. However, this Press is very sturdy and does not break like glass and in my opinion, very much worth the price. You may need to replace the filter down the road. With the above being said, I still believe it makes an amazing cup of coffee, and am very happy with my purchase. I believe, you get what you pay for!!

Sadly, I found this cafetière wastes coffee because the fine filter stops the last of the brew from pouring out. I say sadly because, in all other respects, this is an excellent product. Very fine filter, excellent tight fitting lid, excellent insulation. But, alas, this wasn’t quite the right size for me.

During a morning, a bunch of pirates tried to attack our ship. Whilst they were closing in on us, we started to brew a cup of coffee in this bad boy. Whilst the pirates were climbing unto our ship we hit them with this coffee brewing constructed tank. The pirates fell off en we still got to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. Really recommend this for defeating pirates and amazing coffee.
