BODUM Travel French Press Coffee Maker Set with Extra Lid, Vacuum, 0.35 L/12 oz, Red

Bought for train journeys and dog walks, this cup is great and keeps your brew hot or cold for ages. Great size and comes with both plunger filter lid and normal lid. Not perfectly leakproof due to vent hole but will not spill when knocked. Durable plastic in range of colours, great purchase.

Really pleased with my "travel press".Pros: comes with filter top and nomal screw cap, keeps drink warm, warms hands too!Cons: bottom third of drink gets trapped under filter. Not a thermal cup. Spill resistant but not leak proof.Still worth 5 stars as it's saving me a fortune in coffee at work! 🙂

I am very pleased with this purchase. It's ideal for making fresh tea or coffee on the go, or if you're away from home for any reason.There are a few downsides, but for me, none were totally unexpected. First, it's not the largest travel mug in the world, but it's okay. Second, the plunger doesn't go down quite as far as I would like, so the coffee grinds are a bit loose in the bottom of the mug (but still beneath the plunger) if you're not keen on lots of ground coffee for a strong coffee. Third, the lid isn't leak-proof, so treat the mug with care, and as a result of the lid not being as sealed as some other travel mugs, it's not going to keep the contents as hot over a period of time as some of those other aforementioned travel mugs.Okay, with those niggles out of the way, here is what I do like.If you want to use it more like a normal travel mug, you get a second lid without a plunger, allowing you to carry other liquids without the plunger in place.You get to make coffee with your favourite ground coffee, and as fresh as it would be at home. Plus, there are sometimes places where you might not be able to buy fresh coffee, or, for example, decaffeinated or flavoured coffee. It allows you to make the coffee to your preferred strength as well. If you wish to add milk, you could always put some in first, so long as you can transport it upright to prevent spillage until you're ready to use the mug. Failing that, a second Thermos type container would transport the milk you need easily.If you wish to add extra ground coffee for an extremely strong taste, you could even use it like a French Press at home, and dole out coffee to one or two other people, which can then be watered down to taste.The manufacturer has a proven track record of French Press coffee makers for the home, and the quality with this is pretty good as a result. It's already withstood me dropping it on the floor once while I was sitting down. I don't want to test that out too often though. 😫The plunger top sits flush with the rest of the lid once pushed down, so it is comfortable to use, and should reduce any risk of damage to the plunger.The flip top works well, and gives you a good sized area to sip from.Overall, this is now my favourite coffee maker for outside the home, or for any kind of power outage. It's quick, simple, uses techniques that have been around for years, and so long as you have access to boiled water, you're good to go. Huh, that said, you could probably also use it to make iced coffee or tea in hot weather... that might be something I can try once summer arrives. 🤔

The first time I used it I overfilled it slightly so be mindful to leave enough gap at the top so the coffee grounds all get caught under the filter. Despite my user error I was very impressed. I couldn't see anywhere if you can add milk but you can. I just added sugar and milk before filtering after adding hot water, gave a good stir then plunged. Made a great coffee. I now use every day for my commute to work so I can have a better quality filter coffee without a cafetiere to clean up! Easy to clean out and the extra lid was a bonus as sometimes I prefer a tea in the morning so don't need to plunger lid. Only problem is my husband has travel cup envy so had to purchase a second cup for him! I keep seeing people comment on it leaking down you, not sure how they are drinking with it as mine doesn't leak at all... simply use the sip hole correctly and you'll be fine.

Had this for a couple of months now and thought the idea was fantastic, especially since it is portable and easy to use, perfect for work. I can't use it anymore though because it leaks. It seems that the second layer of insulation around the outside isn't as tight as it should be and now it leaks...when i'm drinking...all over me. Its a shame because I loved it and raved about it to all my friends (who unfortunately have also gone and bought one each...but will be disappointed to find it leaks, or that the coffee granules leak into your drink occasionally. I look after my things, so I wouldn't have just thrown it in the dishwasher or anything like that, because I like my things to last, but this didn't last past 2/3 months, which I'm disappointed about. Wont be recommending this to anyone else.

As with all Bodum items you get a well designed item that looks good but above all functions well and is good to use, clean and lasts. Other half and chum are proper coffee addicts and for travelling, home use or office use this makes a superb mini perc coffee. Other half always overnights with it taking coffee in a clip lock so has good coffee on demand, he also has his early morning mugful of coffee in mug slot in car - so can gulp with perc press lid or when I sneak it for travelling tea - the normal lid, low dribble factor - important in nice well any clothes . Keeps coffee, tea, hot cordial and drinks hot for a good while/drinkable for an hour or so, also keeps cool drinks cool, invaluable too for invalid and duvet days. With double wall can be easily held anywhere and easy grip band helps too. Love it, it washed well by hand ( and rinses out the granules) and dishwasher too, also can use really ground espresso coffee in it. Many comments and oohs and aaarhs. getting one for myself as luxury for gardening and can see how much tea or cordial I have left - without bugs! May not suit thermos addicts.

Très pratique quand tu voyage

It's a great little cup for the price.
