Great Product! Fourth one I've purchased
By Mike RVerified Purchaser from Western Massachusetts on 12/30/2007
Pros:
Good Quality, Unique, Well made
Cons:
Difficult to Clean, Handle can loosen
Best Uses:
Brewing Yerbaa Mate'
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

There are french presses and there are travel mugs but I do not know of any other combination of both. I use this item primarily to brew Yerbaa-Mate', which is a tea-like beverage very popular in South America. I do not use it for hiking or recreational activities, just at home and the office. I own two of them and have just purchased two more as gifts. They do tend to get some staining inside on the bottom, which is hard to clean. The handles also can get a little loose over time, but in general I find them to be very high quality items. The outer finish is beautiful, the plastic parts and mesh screens are very durable. I have been using mine for two years now with no complaints. I love mine and would by another one in a hearbeat. It's worth the price for sure.

Nice item, tough as nails, great coffee.
By Dan the Gorge ManVerified Purchaser from Cincinnati, OH on 3/26/2007
Pros:
Durable, Easy To Clean
Cons:
A bit heavy for trekking
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Better office coffee, Car Camping, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's a metal item, so it's heavy, but the other coffee presses are either too small or too fragile. This one gives two solid cups of joe in the morning, and is an easy clean, big enough to get my hand inside, but doesn't take up a bunch of space in the pack.

 
Awesome product!

Great cuppa joe. Maybe a bit heavy but if you love a morning brew, well worth the price.

Way to heavy
By Coffee JunkieVerified Purchaser from San Diego on 8/17/2006
Cons:
Bulky, over weight
Best Uses:
Car Camping

I bought the press to take traveling out of the country and on the Inca Trail. I was truly surprised at how heavy it is. I haven?t used the press as yet so I can?t comment on its coffee making abilities. ? But the weight won't work for ?I guess I keep looking.

Great Product

Pros:
Compact, great for wringing out wet socks, just kidding, Tough
Cons:
a little heavy, but acceptable

At scout camp, I no longer have to wait for a burner, for a perculator. Some hot water, 5 minutes to steep, and I'm good! Great tasting coffee. Goof proof!
