ESPROP7 French Press - Double Walled Stainless Steel Insulated Coffee and Tea Maker with Micro-Filter - Keep Drinks Hotter for Longer, Perfect for Home (Cranberry, 18 Oz)

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.

The double filter in this French press works very well. I've always enjoyed coffee made with a French press, but the dregs at the bottom consistently makes the last cup mud-luscious. Not so with this French press. The last cup is as good as the first, the thermal carafe keeps the coffee warm longer than glass presses, and it is a large capacity item. First rate coffee press. The cost is steep, but when you consider the number of cups you'll make and drink over time, it is well worth it. Excellent press.

Good quality, easy clean, keeps coffee warm and tastes good.

The look of this French press is great! I wanted something sleek that fit with my new kettle, creating just a little morning vibe. So first impressions were solid - a nice feel in the texture and color, clean and simple design, and a nice match to other appliances and kitchen decor. Moving from those first visuals, the interior makes making coffee or tea super easy, with minimum water and demarcations for max coffee or max tea. I frankly thought the filter part was a bit of a gimmick, but after brewing my first coffee I was really surprised at how little, remarkably little, grounds were at the bottom of my cup, and how perfectly rounded the coffee taste. Usually I also feel a bit of subtext pressure to drink coffee quickly when using a French press, since it can go cold fairly quickly - that is where this design especially shined! I could pour out an amount I wanted and just let the rest sit until I was ready for more. The last cup was as smooth as the first - and was still hot to enjoy!In a hurry up world it’s nice sometimes to take a moment and just enjoy…

Have had it for 7months now. Works great in all aspects.

I like everything about this coffee maker except the little bit of coffee that gets left behind, stuck in the bottom of the PressStyle, function, quality, taste are all great and perfect for two cups of hot coffee.

I experienced a number of issues and just didn’t feel that this was worth the money.1. Grinds would somehow get into the coffee2. A significant amount of liquid (100-200ml) remains in the container with the grounds. Beyond the smallannoyance of losing that much coffee out of every litre, this makes the grinds incredibly sloppy to clean and dispose of.3. The matte white paint chipped around the rim on its first use, just from inserting the plunger in a normal, gentle way. The paint also takes on scuffs and scratches from literally any contact with my stainless steel sink, which is the only way I can clean it. If you’re (totally reasonably) expecting something like the indestructible powder-coated paint on Yeti products, you’re in for a disappointment.4. The insulation is not great - if you pour two cups out of the litre and then come back 30mins later for more, the remaining coffee will be warm but not hot, lukewarm if you add cream. The lid does not appear insulated so it seems heat easily escapes and heat retention isn’t much better than a regular glass French press.I was happy to pay a premium for a Canadian luxury product that would last for years but this experience just doesn’t reflect the marketing or the price.

The quality of the materials and the design are outstanding! The coffee that this stat-of-the -art French Press produces is impressive and there is absolutely no coffee bean residue that will end up in your cup - due to the double filtration system. There is only one little complaint, which is the fact that it is not the most efficient French Press. You will not be able to squeeze out all the coffee out of the coffee grounds. When you press down the filter fully, there will still be a bit of coffee left that will end up wasted. I assume that you could reduce the amount of coffee wasted by making big coffee batches ( at least 70g) and avoiding making small batches. The smaller the volume of coffee grounds, the more coffee will be wasted because you will not be able to apply the needed pressure for the filter to squeeze out as much liquid as possible out of the coffee grounds.

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.

Muy buena apariencia y ayuda a mantener el café suficientemente caliente por un buen rato.Bien que venga marcado por niveles pero debería se parte de la información de la página.
