ESPROP7 French Press - Double Walled Insulated Stainless Steel Coffee and Tea Maker with Micro Filter

Tolles Gerät - Design und Verarbeitung ist super. Was jedoch das Wichtigste ist: Der Cafe - da sollte man nicht dran sparen, seine Bohne finden.Gutes Gerät - schlechte Bohne: schlechter Cafe.Gutes gerät - gute Bohne: guter/sehr guter Cafe.

Plus side: The Espro makes great tasting coffee if you start with good beans. If preheated, it will hold a good drink temperature for an hour or more and decanting is not needed. Downside: Even with the fine mesh screen there is still a bit of fines in the brew. It is also hard to pour out the last cup as the grounds can block the basket. Putting a paper filter over the basket would probably solve these minor issues. Overall I'm glad I purchased this unit.

Works very well but the matte black finish (which was part of my selling point) is already chipping away after 2 months of use and regular cleaning.The functionality of the product I give 5 stars. I use smooth coffee with this and it takes the acidic factor away which meets my needs. However. This thing will now look like a silver and matte black pot that’s been through a house fire shortly. I don’t think an eye pleasing esthetic should be ruined so easily and be this expensive. The answer is simple though. Don’t sell it in powder coated colors. If it works really well. I’m sure people will just say screw it I’ll get the silver one because of how well it works.This will look like crap over time though and it’s a bummer.

After doing a lot of research I decided to purchase the ESPRO P7 French Press. I did this for several reasons:1. It's insulated stainless steel and not GLASS. This was important to us because while glass is pretty, it is also fragile and we would likely accidentally break a glass french press within months,2. The reusable double filtration system on this French Press practically eliminates any grinds ending up in your cup of coffee. The system is simple to clean and also highly effective.3. Dishwasher safe. After you brew, simply scrape out the grinds into the compost or trash bin and then give it a quick rinse and toss the carafe and plunger in the dishwasher.4. Size. This french press is large enough to make 32oz of coffee per brew. This allows enough for me and my wife to share. The insulated stainless keeps the brew warm long enough that we can each have a cup when we are ready in the morning.

The Espro French Press is considerably more expensive than the glass models. For that, the fit and finish is great - I do not have a glass French press for a direct A/B comparison, but from my recollection the double filter is more effective at straining the fines, and the double-wall construction helps retain heat a little longer. There is no vacuum between the walls, so do expect thermos-like heat retention. The press is no easier or more difficult to clean than any other French press.
