bobble French Coffee Press Triple Wall Insulated Travel Mug 14 oz Black

I'd come to the point that I was tired of tolerating instant coffee in hotel rooms only ever kitted out with a hot water kettle. I bought the PRESSE by Bobble to serve purely as a travel press, and this solves that issue. Never mind that it serves as a travel coffee cup as well. Instead of a traditional, flimsy French press plunger, the functional design uses a solid internal sleeve with a single-piece stainless steel micro-filter screen that nests into the outer cup. This filters perfectly and keeps the grounds trapped securely at the bottom. The 13 fl oz capacity is perfect. It has no protruding handles or delicate parts, making it easy to maintain and clean. The compact size makes it easy to pack, and it fits perfectly into the water bottle pockets on packs. It recently served me very well taking it from England to the Netherlands and home. If you want real coffee while traveling, this is the press to get.

On a recent trip I finally 'had it' with bad hotel coffee, buying an overpriced (and overly roasted and burnt tasting) cup from the local Starbucks, or dealing with an unsatisfying and inconsistent cup of coffee from the whatever is in the hotel room. I've tried a few things - something called a Clever Dripper (too bulky), something else called a Primula Brew Buddy, yet another drip idea called Munieq Tetra Portable Coffee Drip, and then figured I would try to find a french press for travel (this is how I make coffee at home). This Presse unit fits my needs perfectly. • The container you press the coffee in serves as a handy mug • The plunger does not contain a rod running down the middle - opening up storage space • The silicone seal around the cylindrical plunger seals nicely • The bottom filter isn't plastic or nylon mesh, but rather a nice steel unit that screws in (thus replaceable) • This filter could be used as a measuring device (but I don't need to do this, I measure the coffee differently) • The silicone lid works well enough (but don't depend on it to be leakproof) I purchased a hand-held grinder (a relatively expensive one called a Porlex, less expensive ones with a similar design are available), as well as immersion heater. The Porlex (minus its handle) fits nicely inside the Presse, with the immersion device and a baggie of beans (with a measuring spoon and Porlex handle) I've got a self-contained and perfect brew that doesn't take up much space. I can see one downside to this design, there is residual coffee that sits underneath the metal filter unit that does not 'dispense' to the upper main area (where you drink from). I have to take the plunger out, and pour about 1/4 cup of coffee / grounds away. The silicone seal is really tight, likely causing a kind of vacuum that keeps the liquid in the bottom to the height of the filter unit. I didn't make the maximum amounts of coffee - for my trial runs this morning, only a few typical amounts (two tablespoons of beans or about 2.5 tablespoons of grounds and about 3/4 to the top of the Presse container. I'll continue playing around with how I deal with that 1/4 cup of grounds + coffee - likely it'll just go down the drain. The unit is easy to clean, very sturdy and you don't have to feel like it's fragile. I love the finish - it's as if it is anodized metal with a clear coating on it that is attractive and comfortable to hold. I am looking forward to my next trip where I can get fresh coffee no matter where I am, with the same whole beans I use at home, without a lot of fuss (nor wasted space nor the hassle paper filters). The photos are my entire travel-friendly setup - the Presse french press, the Porlex manual burr coffee grinder, a dual-voltage immersion heater (complete with custom red holder I made with some thick wire I had lying around to accommodate the Presse) and the sandwich baggie of beans that also holds the Porlex handle and spoon. All in all I spent something like $100 for this and am so happy about it I decided to write a review. (I haven't written a review in many years.)

This was one of the best purchases I made for a two-month trip to Guatemala. I was looking for a coffee brewing system that was simple, packed small, and made strong coffee. This worked fantastically! I made my coffee in this everyday, and was very pleased with how bold the coffee flavor was, and how easy it was to use. I stayed in homestays, AirBnBs, and hostels, and never had to worry about what kind of instant or watered-down coffee was being served! Sometimes I was able to get hot water from my host families, but other times I used an immersion coil heater to boil my water in the mug first. (After it boiled, I dumped the excess water out before adding the coffee). I knew cleaning would be a challenge due to the long and narrow shape, so I bought a spoon/fork combo that connects together to make a long utensil, and this worked perfectly for scooping the grinds out! I was also pleased that using normal medium-sized grounds worked fine in this mug, which simplified resupplying my coffee (didn’t have to find a way to get coarse grinds). And this kept my coffee HOT for hours. The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because the lid is not leak-proof. It’s just a silicone lid and would not protect anything, and you could not safely put this on the side of your backpack to carry with you. That was definitely a number, and almost a reason that kept me from purchasing in the first place. Bobble, please make a leak-proof lid, and then this product would be nearly perfect!

This is an amazing item to me. I assume most people use it for travel, or just now and then. This is my main coffee-maker, and has been for more than 2 years. I lost my first one and replaced it. After over a year with this one, it is just like brand new. I live alone and so I'm only making coffee for myself everyday. And thus don't need a pot full. I only drink one of these a day. When I have company it is very easy to rinse it out and make another. I am kind of an odd duck when it comes to coffee, and I doubt anyone reading this would use it like I do. But I grind really good beans fresh and put them in main piece, of course. I fill it up with hot water about 2/3s of the way and use a long-handled ice tea spoon to gently push down and stir in the grounds that float to the surface. Then I finish filling up the container and stir the surface again. Then I put the plunger in place and push down until I see a little crema coming through the filter. After 7 or so minutes I know most everyone pushes the plunger all the way down just like a French press. But I like strong coffee and don't mind the water sitting on the grounds longer. I usually let it steep for 10 minutes and then push it down enough to pour a half a cup of coffee. It seems a little strange to pour it with the plunger still up in the air, but it doesn't leak. SO...the rest of the coffee stays warm and I drink some, push it down more, and drink, etc. it doesn't seem to me to get that much stronger or bitter, but that's just me. When finished, it is super easy to clean. And the filter unscrews, but I rarely take it all apart. I just rinse it with hot water and a bottle brush and after all this time it doesn't stain, or get any build-up. Happy caffeination!

This is one of the best things I've bought on Amazon. I got it for a camping trip but I'm using it every day at home. It makes great coffee, is almost as easy to use as a Keurig and looks great. It keeps the coffee hot for hours. Oh and it's dishwasher safe. I would marry this coffee maker if it was allowed (that morning cup is essential to my happiness 😊)

Keeps coffee hot & easy to use. I was impressed by the quality & the price.

Overall, great concept, with two gripes. The top of the inner wall (that the lid goes on, and you push on) is quite thin, and bends easy. If they would roll or fold the edge to make it thicker (and more bend resistant) that would make this thing near perfect. The other nit-pick, is that it ships with almost no packaging to protect it in shipment, which makes it easy for the thin wall of the top to get bent. I may return this one and see if I have better luck. The one I received was bent in transit, which causes the top to leak if I don’t make sure to position the drinking spout directly opposite the bent section. Otherwise/overall great concept and well made product. Easy to use, keeps coffee hot (and I do mean hot) for hours, fairly easy to clean. Love the convenience, and portability.

This is a well designed product! It’s perfect for a single cup every day without plastic waste or another appliance. It’s rugged and easy to clean. Stays hot.

Love these bobble coffee makers. We use them all the time. My only criticism of them is that spare rubber parts cannot be found . The makers could last years if these spares were made. This is the main reason we have purchased more of this product.

So simple and effective, If you take coffee as seriously as I do then you will love this!! No grinds and this baby keeps your coffee HOT for hrs which means no more reheating in the microwave! The silicone lid is a nice alternative to standard travel mug lids- which i dont love tbh and the stainless is sleek and super easy to clean! I would highly recommend this travel press!

Esta excelente para cuando te llevas el café al trabajo o simplemente en la casa. Son 400ml así que está bien. Lo único es que no es hermético por la tapa, pero es igual que traer otro termo. Yo me lo llevo al trabajo y sin problemas. Es muy fácil de lavar y funciona de maravilla! Lo volvería a comprar!

Eco friendly. I no longer buy coffee in the mornings. Durable. Easy to clean

Great coffee press makes a good coffee and can be used as an insulated drinking cup.
