YETI Rambler French Press Coffee Maker, with GroundsControl Filter

I was very wary of purchasing this press given the price, but wanted a good press for a vacation to Idaho/Montana. Looking for something that could take some punishment, produce great coffee, and keep the coffee warm between cups. I reviewed several others and decided on this one since I’ve had great experiences with other Yeti products.For being durable- this press is a tough as it gets. I figure this item is going to be passed down a few generations. The Yeti site says it is incredibly tough and they were not lying.The drawback here though is the weight. We flew on our vacation, to so this had an impact. FYI- this will trigger a look by TSA going through pre-check.The coffee? - consistent with other presses that I have use in the past. Except the big plus here was the GroundsControl feature which worked great.This press will keep your coffee warm. The picture on the review are two photos taken 25 minutes apart with hardly any movement on temperature. (I used my Keurig to produce the hot water so it is a little low) I have used this about twenty times now and the “keeping it warm” results are consistent.Ultimately, I think it is a great value and it is easy to clean.

The ceramic coating is a big plus, especially dealing with an acidic liquid and cleanup as coffee can stain things easily. It keeps the liquid hot for hours! This opens up many opportunities to steep at a lower temperature than boiling reducing the “burnt” taste, reducing some bitterness, allowing refinement to the coffee produced, similar to what the process of cold brewing offers-different grind sizes, longer extraction times allowing very smooth coffees. This opens a world of opportunities for the knowledgeable coffee connoisseur to adapt their brewing to the batch of coffee beans. And the bigger size means 1 brew cycle for a small group with a great brew process, not multiple brews plus allowing small brews with one French press device. The filters work great, the pour spout works great-don’t understand some complaints about the spout as every French press has some form of pour adapting. Plusses much greater than a minus.

This might take a little extra time, but the coffee tastes so good when it comes from a french press. This Yetti french press is very sturdy, easy to use and makes great coffee.I could see how it would especially be helpful on a camping trip or if the electric goes out or just in any situation where you want to make coffee.

I’m not big on paying the “Yeti premium” price. But this one is actually awesome. The plunger is solid with basically no wobble. Keeps it warm for several hours. Actually worth the price I have to admit.

Great French press. Retains heat fairly well and the build quality is top notch. Additionally, the metal filter on the press works great and minimizes silt.However, the pour spout retains liquid after pouring and drips down the side of the press and on the surface it’s sitting on. Hence the 4 stars. For this price point, it should be perfect but it has a simple design flaw. That aspect is rather disappointing.

OMG I’m in love with my new French press! Can’t recommend this enough. The x-large size, the style, the functionality, the overall quality is amazing as you’d expect from Yeti! On top of all that, it’ll travel well to the office or on an outing. Worth every penny! Would make an excellent gift for a coffee lover.

*** Our 2nd replacement and it still leaks!! *** I never write reviews but this warrants it because high cost of Yeti products we expect more!! After all the trouble of replacing it this one started leaking just like the first one did. We have tons of Yeti products and we love them, HOWEVER, the Yeti French Press 64 oz leaks! So disappointed! The plunger works great and doesn't let any coffee grounds pass but when I pour coffee it leaks all over the place at the seal. **** Special Note Beware **** To be fair this is the 3rd replacement!! Heres why: We bought the 32 oz French Press to begin with and sent it back. Why? Because it only holds 32 ounces only if you fill it to the brim. You cant use it that way. Technically it's 32 ounces but there is no way to get 32 ounces of coffee when you consider adding the coffee grounds and inserting the plunger. Thats kind of BS advertising Yeti! You charge a LOT of money for your products and we expect a LOT. Now i have to either go through the hassle of sending this back or deal with dripping coffee everytime i use this product. Come on YETI you can do better!

If you have the money, then this is the coffee press for you. Solid construction, durability and easy clean-up are just a few of the advantages of this press. It also keeps your brew hot for at least 3 hours after brewing. For me, this is the biggest factor when I researched French presses. Again, cost is a factor, but this press is well worth it!
