ESPRO17678 Ultralight Coffee Press, Vacuum Insulated, Stainless Steel, 16 oz (Brushed), Edelstahl

I wanted to have good coffee while on the go without finding Starbucks and Neros profits.Fact is there were no plunger travel cups out there that I could find.Then Espro came along and I got the travel cup first and loved it but this one is even better - gets me a bit more coffee per make.Easy to use, no sludge in my last mouthful easy to clean and looks good.Only criticism I have is the Max level in the old travel mug was a lot easier to see than the new one! Minor as I use my sense of about right level but it was easier with the line dimple in the old.

I purchased the stainless steel finish version of this in October 2020. I was attending a friend's wedding and wanted to be able to drink my favourite coffee in a cafetiere ground while away from home. After receiving item, it was clear that was mall made. The filter/ plunger unit fit well inside the cannister, ensuring a good seal, but does not cause a vacuum when trying to remove the filter...which can be an issue for similar products. I have used this daily since purchase both at home and to take hot drinks to work. It works well for ground coffe and loose tea. Heat retention is satisfactory. It has not leaked. Cleaning the filter/ plunger unit is slightly fiddly as I don't have a dishwasher. However, apart from this....which is very minor...I very pleased with this product and will repurchase.

Ease of use

Have it for 2 years and I love it. Always drink my coffee in it and in the future I will buy another one.

I use this for work where there is no available good coffee. Only a kettle. This is amazing.

Light and good construction, but the lid is hard to get off.

Too difficult to move plunger had to cut all the seal and have lots of granules

I'll start with the good part, it's a nice, light bottle that insulates well. I used it as a water bottle a few times and at that it was successful!As a french press, I was less impressed. I bought the double filter because I wanted a cleaner cup but I still always ended up with a significant amount of sludge. Also, the plunger is very hard to press. I read about pulling the plunger up slightly if it's hard to press. It helps - but not much! Lastly, the double filter is a faff to clean. The bottle is tall and slim and hard to access the bottom of. I prefer to put my grounds out for recycling but end up having to wash them down the sink instead.I've now got a clever coffee dripper instead and I'm much happier with it as a product.
