keeps coffee hot for at least an hour. cheaper than competitors and seems to be well made and well insulated.
It's almost impossible to push the press down if the coffee isn't brewed yet, so that's how you know when it's ready. This coffee press has been great so far. Great product. (I was wondering how to tell, since with glass you know by looking at it). I had a glass press before, but I broke it, and I was always wishing the coffee would stay hot longer. This pot makes just the right amount - about 3 big cups - and keeps it pretty hot for 2-3 hours, just right for my mornings.
Problem solved. I don't mind some fines in the bottom of the cup, but I am not into chunky coffee. I still had the mesh filters from my two previous Bodum presses, so I adapted one of those to use with the new Thermos press. I bought this press after my children broke my third glass coffee press. No more chunky coffee. But right out of the box, the mesh filter would crease in a couple spots where it was supposed to seal against the inside of the container. I was tired of replacing glass beakers and cleaning up the mess.Makes good coffee, and of course, won't break with normal handling. This always let some of the grounds through when pressing.
Most importantly, it makes great coffee. This is a wonderful coffee press. I wish that I had found this years ago. I like the fact that it takes up so little space compared to a drip machine. It's the perfect size for 1-2 coffee drinkers. It operates beautifully and cleans easily.
shoulda got a glass one. a pain. When I saw this I thought: "great an insulated non breakable press." BUT:The lip design catches the filter screen making it tricky getting it into and out of the press.The filter screen is "skimpy" (designed by an accountant) so that the coiled spring is too small, the screen is too small and too lightweight. This results in puckers that let the grounds go around the screen.This makes for a cup of coffee with surprises in the bottom.
