French Press Coffee Maker – Single Serve 1 Cup Small Stainless Steel Thermal Double Walled French Press 350ML/12OZ

This is a wonderful 12 ounce French press. The stainless body is finished smoothly and it functions exactly as it should. The entire little assembly weighs 15 ounces without any liquid in it. It’s solid! Although any French press coffee involves a little more labor than a pod type machine or an automatic drip coffee maker, the entire process is a pleasure for me, especially on weekends when French press coffee represents leisure. Highly recommend this for one nice mug of coffee. Please preheat the pot with very hot or boiling water for a few minutes prior to making the coffee. It’s worth the extra step because your coffee will stay much hotter once it’s made. Enjoy!

Coffee is hot, especially if you pour hot water into the press to pre-warm it before making coffee.If you like a strong brew, the double wall container keeps it hot longer without burning your hands.Very durable - after breaking 2 glass presses, I had had enough of that nonsense. I’ve used this as a travel coffee maker with no worries for a year.Easy to clean. No metallic aftertaste.

Every morning I do a 2-cup pourover for my hubby & me, using a #2 Melitta cone. In the past I did this into a cylindrical glass tea pot that had the perfect diameter for my #2 Melitta cone, and also held two cups (barely). However, I like my coffee to be HOT and by the time I finished the two-cup pour-over while simultaneously making our breakfast, our coffee was usually on the warm side of hot. I also worried about breaking the glass tea pot (a wine glass once broke in my hand while I dried it, requiring 10 stitches to my thumb, and I never want to go through that again!).Somehow I stumbled upon this "Magicafe French Press Coffee Maker" and found it to be absolutely PERFECT for 2-person pourovers. Its diameter is perfect for our #2 Melitta cone, the stainless steel pot is double-walled and thus keeps my coffee HOT, and best of all, the pot holds 24 fl oz (3 cups) so my hubby and I can enjoy 12-oz cups of coffee rather than 8 oz! The handle stays cool to the touch even though the coffee in the pot stays hot. And...I don't have to worry about breaking the pot! I envision using this wonderful pot for the rest of our lives! I also like the heft and the pour design of the pot - it pours easily and cleanly, and balances nicely in my hand as I pour. And it is solid and sturdy - it would be difficult to knock this pot over by accident!A tip: I fill this coffee pot with hot tap water while I wait for our hot water kettle to come to a boil. This quick and easy warming seems to keep my coffee even hotter!I tried the French Press aspect of this coffee maker and it was fine, but I find French Press coffee to require too much cleanup compared to pour-overs with paper filters, or to an Aeropress. I use an Aeropress when making just one cup of coffee (say, for myself if hubby is out of town), but I LOVE this Magicafe French Press Coffee Maker for doing a pour-over for two people. It is PERFECT for us and I'm happy every time I use it!The French Press aspect is handy for making tea with loose tea leaves, though. Tea needs to steep for a few minutes so the French Press filter is handy for that (also requiring subsequent cleanup, but I find tea leaves easier to scoop out than coffee grounds).
