SterlingPro Non-Toxic Insulated Stainless Steel French Press Coffee Maker 34oz – Insulated Metal Double Wall Coffee Maker | Plastic Free | Cool-Touch | Mirror Finish | Makes up to 8 Cups / 4 Mugs

After leaving my favourite french press on holiday (don't ask!), I was determined to get another that I would love as much. Though I have only had it for a week, it is fabulous. It is study and reassuringly weighty. the filter screen is a nice tight fit which catches almost all of the grounds, so very little left in bottom of the cup. Though advertised as having 2 free filter screens, one of them is the one that you would expect to be with a new item anyway (or how else would you use it?). The only reasons for 4 stars are the price and the paper work inside the product, insisting that reviews, questions and complaints should be made through ProSterling directly rather than Amazon. This made me feel somewhat uncomfortable and I would not. But other than that, I love my coffee freshly roasted, ground and pressed and this press makes me happy.

This French Press Does the job.

Keeps coffee hot. Nice weight. Easy to clean

Since my 16-year-old son started drinking coffee, we had to get a bigger press. The biggest Bodum Chambord wasn’t cutting it, probably because the French drink coffee in elegant cups instead of giant North American mugs. Made a 54 ounce pot this morning, and there was enough for the family and me to get a 2nd mug mid morning. I was surprised by how well the double filter cleans out, I had expected it to be more cloggy. It certainly does retain heat better and longer than a glass press, and you certainly don’t have to worry about breaking it if you should happen to use a metal spoon to stir. One nice surprise was the beautiful, round, laminar jet that comes out when you pour. A very neat, clean pourer. The spare filters were a very nice touch. We are very pleased, and I can’t think of a single area for improvement.

Love this coffee maker! I only use French presses, and this one is great! Nice size for 2 for 3 people, coffee stays nice and hot. Also love the black color.

This is my first French press. I switched from lattes as I can no longer drink milk. I had researched various methods, settled on French press, then researched brands. I'm glad I chose this one. It is very easy to use. I'm disabled and don't have much muscle strength. No problem! As long as the beans are ground coarse (I set my burr grinder for mid-coarse), the plunger is super-easy to push. I must have lucked out, cause my first cup was great. I preheated the press with water as it was approaching the recommended temp range on my new Wonder Sky gooseneck kettle. I bloomed the grounds first for 30 seconds (after stirring with a spatula since I don't have a wood spoon), then added the rest of the water as was recommended by various people online. No need to stir again. Waited 3 minutes before plunging. Oh, I used 4 level scoops using the one provided with the press with 12 oz water (total). Since I haven't officially stopped milk yet, I nuked about 4 oz in my mug. Not only did it preheat the mug, it also didn't cool off the coffee. I could've frothed the milk, I suppose, but didn't bother. Don't miss the foam. The result was a VERY hot, strong cup of wonderful java joy. In case you're interested, I use French roast beans that I now keep in an Airscape canister. Following online advice, I don't take it apart to rinse, just loosen so water can rinse off the few grinds in between the pieces. You can do this after pouring your cup and it will still be real hot. I have a strainer in one side of my sink, so later I just add a little more water to the small bit of leftover water/grinds then pour into the strainer; then empty the strainer into the trash (tap against side to knock it all out - very easy). I also recommend filling the press partway with warm soapy water and plunging a few times to clean it (saw this on you tube)! I hope I have given other novices all the info you need.
