Large French Press Coffee Maker - Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel, Silver, 34floz

Ürün kullanım açısından iyi ancak suyun döküldüğü uç kısımın gövdeye yapistigi yerde 1 cm kadar bir bölgede açıklık var, oradan iceriye su kaçiyor, sicak su koyunca o yerden ses ve baloncuklar cikiyor, herhalde bu sebeple olacak ki çift duvar oldugu halde icindeki kahve çok hizli bicimde soğuyor, isiyi disariya veriyor. Videosunu cektim ama goruntü ekleme gibi bir secenek goremedigim icin ekleyemiyorum.Ayrıca yanında gelen küçük cam kavanoz da hem çok küçük hem de çok çabuk kırılacakmış gibi duruyor. Dışına metal kılıf geçirmişler ama uçları cam, metal french press alanların çoğu 'artık kırılmayan, cam olmayan' malzeme istedikleri için metale yöneliyorlar, cam kavanoz yollanması o sebeple komik olmuş.

Having decided instant coffee wasn’t for me any longer, I bought this on the strength that the filter jug looked sturdy, easy to clean and simple to use. And so it is! It comes with a neat little glass container with a metal lid to hold a small amount of coffee grounds.The first test was accidentally bashing the side on the tap on the way to the washing up water. Not a mark or a dint, thankfully but not to be advised!! It stands well and feels good in the hand, very well-balanced and easy to pour the coffee out with no drips in the saucer. The instructions were easy to understand although I did find finding the ideal water level a bit of a test (but the instructions say you should find the ideal settings to fit your own taste so that’s fair enough). The coffee tasted excellent and as I’d warmed the jug up prior to using it, the coffee stayed hot for two leisurely cups and a biscuit.The jug and filter were washed up without any drama. Very easy to clean and reassemble ready for the next time.Love this filter jug!!

This is my first and only french press, but from what I've experienced, it's been awesome. This of course gives the delicious coffee you'd expect, but the key factor for this thing is the build quality. It's super solid, from the container to the press pieces. Everything fits and works really well and gives the impression that it will continue to do so. After reading how the colors chip over time, I went with the stainless steel and am so glad I did. It looks great and should continue to do so. One of the biggest reasons I chose this one was because of the company. I haven't had to deal with them, but they appear to be one of those cool, customer focused companies that have put a little extra into the quality side of things and will do anything to make sure you're happy with their products. Just make sure you hand wash all the parts, I would not recommend using the dishwasher.The brewing process:I grind the coffee and little finer than normal french press standards and it works great to give extra flavor (saw a video on this). I get the water to a boil and let it sit a few minutes to cool down. Gator suggests a 9 minute steep with a stir midway through (to remove the foam), but I skip the stir and it turns out great (foam adds flavor!). I then decanter the coffee which is crucial (I use a metal insulated water bottle). This not only keeps the coffee hot, but also allows the sediment to settle. The double screen filters work well and if you're getting too much sediment then you're probably grinding your coffee too fine. The main factor for how the coffee turns out has been the grind consistency. But there's a pretty good window to getting it right even with a blade grinder. I'll also say that if you do go too fine, it's not too big of a deal, because if you used the decanter, it just makes the last couple of ounces of coffee undrinkable - better than weak coffee from having grounds too coarse. Other than that, just make sure you don't burn it or go over 9 mins and you're golden. Super fun process, but just be ready for cleanup, I use a rubber spatula to get the coffee into the trash can (I don't suggest putting it into the garbage disposal). Overall super pleased and I look forward to making the coffee every time I use this thing.

I have only used or a week: so far, so good. I have had several French presses that broke too soon. Unlike the alligator, they were more like passenger pigeons: here today, looking good, and then suddenly gone tomorrow, extinct in a broken moment. This unit is sturdy as hell. It it is a big heft of stainless steel. The filter fits firmly and just about eliminates grounds and sludge in the cup - not that I mind that all so much. It is a cinch to clean. It makes delicious coffee, but so did my other presses before they died all too soon. This product looks like a keeper, but disappointment has made me cynical. I will follow up to edit this review if this unit lets me down. Let us hope that this press has the same staying power down through time as its prehistoric namesake.

I purchased this stainless press for an 18 day trip to the Philippines. Since everyone has those electric water kettles, I was able to easily have fresh delicious coffee everyday with this press. Even the last three days at Okada Manila I was able to make fresh coffee since they also had an electric kettle in the room, although a smaller hotel sized one than the standard residential size i had at my relative's house.I brought enough coarse French press ground French roast coffee for 18 days in a couple ziplock bags and it thankfully made it through security at SFO along with the press in my carry-on. TSA simply swabbed the outside of the ziplock with some sort of test solution. They didn't open the ziplocks or stir the coffee grounds. I heard that folks who put coffee in check-in luggage usually find it all over their luggage when unpacking, so I opted for carry-on transport, with the worst option being TSA making me throw it away at the checkpoint. Better than my clothes in luggage smelling like coffee.The press didn't give a weird taste to the coffee as other presses were complained about in Amazon reviews.I skipped warming the press up first, per the instructions, since I didn't want to waste relative's filtered water they pay for in the Philippines. I just added my 6-8 tablespoons of grounds to the press and filled to the fill mark inside with boiling water, stirred the grounds, and started my iPhone timer for 4 minutes with Siri. Coffee was great every time and relatives got to enjoy it, as well. I started putting in only 6 tablespoons because 8 was honestly just too strong. But, 8 tablespoons is certainly a great tasting cup of coffee, as well.The mesh press fit the inside diameter just fine and no grounds were ever present in the poured coffee. The press' handle did not break off like some similar designed presses on Amazon other reviewer's complained about, and the press plunger action was smooth and consistent every time. The construction of the press is solid and it didn't dent at all during my trip. I'm not sure how long it keeps coffee hot as I didn't want the coffee to over-steep, so I poured the remaining coffee out into a large measuring cup I brought after filling my own carrafe, so it wasn't too bitter.The press is easy to clean. I only wish I also brought a long spoon to get the grounds out of the bottom of the press as I only had a small tea stirring spoon to work with when I got to the hotel at the end of my trip. My hand was just small enough to fit inside the press to get to the bottom to scrape out the grounds. My large measuring cup, the press, the ground coffee, and a tablespoon measuring spoon was a great kit to bring.The included glass travel jar fits 8 tablespoons of grounds. I brought it filled with grounds but didn't need to use it as I didn't go on any side trips and had access to my ziplock full of coffee grounds the whole trip. But, it's a nice travel jar, although not airtight, since the coffee smell made it out easily.I did test my press several times before packing for my trip to ensure it worked well. Overall, this is a great press, especially for someone who's trying a French press for the first time, and it definitely is a great travel press model.
