ESPRO18168 French Press P7 Coffee Stamp Jug with Thermal Function, 950 ml, White, Stainless Steel

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.

If you're here to get one, you probably have watched the videos on YouTube or a friend using one. Both, in my case. Then finally, I decided to have the White Matt large 32oz, that means 10 tbs of coarse ground coffee if I wanted max ☕️. The double mesh filters are 9x and 12x finer than ordinary press, and ordered the paper filters as well as a spare (these are pending delivery). It's recommended you get these with your first order so you don't have too much to wait. The Espro7 arrived a whole week ahead of schedule, thanks to Prime membership. The box did arrive with dented edges but I was confident this would not affect the item within. Amazon could have done a better job with packing but I'm all for minimising plastic wrap use. The quality of the finished product is as good as advertised and looks terrific on the tabletop. I can't review the coffee here - that can be so subjective. But users of the large should note that the recommended steeping time (95 deg boiling water poured into the press with freshly coarse ground grains inside), should be about 4-5 minutes before using the plunger with an even pressure. Some claim to simply leave the plunger longer, and one said 3 mins was enough. See what I meant? 😂 So it depends what degree to sweetness or acidity you prefer, and beans you use. As for what coarse grains should look like, Bruce Constantine of Espro says the depressions in the logo on the top of the press should be able to perfectly fit the grains. Good tip there. Unfortunately someone has given me medium ground coffee, but I've found it works just as well. Always use both filters. The second filter screws out to be removed for better washing, especially with dishwashers. Enjoy. It's a product I definitely recommend if you're a fan of French Presses, or like me, want an alternative to V60 style and a larger output than the Moka induction makers I still use. Nothing like having a variety of coffee makers to suit your mood and volume needs.

The Espro french press is visually pleasing, however, we found the coating to be rather fragile, the white color marks up easily during cleaning, and you will mark it up because for a 32oz press this thing is enormous. Unless you have a large sink, you're likely to find yourself making a conscious effort to keep from bouncing the press off the sink walls.In terms of function, we found that the press did not perform well as a double walled insulated product, I can leave steaming hot tea in a double walled insulated Yeti mug for 3 hours and at no point does the exterior of the mug feel any warmer than ambient temperature. With the Espro french press, seconds after pouring hot water into the press you can stat to feel the exterior temperature of the press increase, after a minute the press is very warm, almost too hot to hold. If you were planning on making two cups of coffee so that you could drink one after the other, this will most likely leave you with a close to luke-warm second cup.Considering the price, the coating which does not appear to be very robust, and the poor performance of the double walled insulation, the 3-star rating is the best I can offer for this product.Our trusted Bodum, at a fraction of the price, makes great coffee, is easy to clean, and looks the same as the day we first took it our of the box many hundreds of brews ago. The Bodum is single wall glass in construction and does not keep the coffee very warm for long, however, nor does the Espro, unfortunately.

poor insulation; for this price, i should have just purchased a Nespresso. I wanted something simple and easy to brew coffee without so much sediment. this works but for the price...not sure

Provides the best tasting coffee. Large size.
