Absolutely great!! January 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have used a glass french press previous to this and this is leaps and bounds better than my other one. I always used to get grinds in my coffee with the other one! It was frustrating! However, with this one not only do I not get grinds in my coffee, but it keeps it really really hot so I don't have to keep reheating my coffee! Totally worth the price!

makes great coffee January 24, 2008

As a Peace Corps Volunteer I used this coffee press every day (at least once a day) for almost 2 years, and have since passed it on to a friend. It works great and the only complaint I have is that it needed to be cleaned frequently on the outside to keep it looking good. Then again, if all you care about is the coffee, that doesn't matter.

Great so far January 22, 2008

This was purchased as a gift. They have been using it almost daily for a few weeks and are very happy with it. I can't compare it to any other press pots, because this is the first we have used. It is attractive and holds enough for three big cups of (very tasty) coffee.

Love my Tea Press January 20, 2008
I LOVE this Tea press. I have not had one tea leaf in my tea and it is the perfect size so we don't waste any but yet there is enough for those of us that want some. The seal works great!

Great Camping Coffee Pot January 19, 2008
We got the stainless steel, insulated press, because we wanted good coffee while camping. When enjoying breakfast or dinner in the crisp mountain air at our favorite camp spot, a hot cup of Sanka or Lipton's just didn't cut it; and we were disappointed in our old percolator's poor performance. We had better luck with one of those hotel-style, miniature "Mr. Coffee" machines; but there aren't any 110v hook-ups in the boonies.

We remembered that a glass coffee press we had years ago made pretty good coffee, but it would be too fragile for camping. So, the search was on for a press that would survive rattling around in our Airstream. That's when we found the Bodum thermal press pot.

Most of the other reviews are pretty accurate: It makes great coffee - even better tasting than our electric drip machine at home. The same coffee tastes smoother (less bitter), yet still full flavored. (We prefer Costco's Kirkland-brand Colombian Supremo whole beans, which is like a poor man's Starbucks.) There is a little silt at the bottom of the cup, but that's just part brewing coffee in a press.

As for the comments on poor insulation, the work-around is simple. Preheat the pot before brewing, and either wrap it in a towel or cozy, or transfer the remainder into a thermos bottle. We find that the eight cup (four mug) model is just about right for the two of us to have one mug of coffee each, and the refills are still hot after 20-30 minutes. There usually isn't any left to get cold.

The stainless steel pot and parts are rugged and will survive trailering, though there will undoubtedly be some decorative dents added on future trips that will add character and history to the latest addition to our home-away-from-home.
