- French Press Coffee Maker 34 oz, Non-Toxic, Gray

I previously owned an insulated french press that I purchased many years ago from Starbucks. (I wanna say that I bought it like...8 years ago). anyway, it was time to retire the thing. The handle had broken off, it leaked, the plastic part of the lid had cracked in a way that made it rather dangerous to use. But, I was stubborn, and didn't want to get rid of it. I mean, that coffee pot was my longest relationship, how could I give it up!? But, finally, it was time. So I went on the search for a comparable replacement that could handle my 2-3 pots-per-day usage and wouldn't break. After some research and searching around town for something I liked, I stumbled across the Coffee Gator on Amazon. I'll admit, I immediately liked it because of the name. I mean, come on, Coffee Gator? It sounds cool. So I read some reviews, and finally decided to buy one. It arrived in the mail 2 days later and I opened it up, excited for my new kitchen toy. It was in a pretty box, packaged up all nice, and I immediately put it to work. And omg, it's amazing!! The double filter really does make a difference. (I was a little dubious about this before trying it out), and my coffee is more of a drink, and less of a 'snack' now. I had gotten used to having some grounds in my coffee, and didn't mind it, but gosh, it's nice to just drink coffee without stuff in it. It keeps the coffee about as hot as my old one did (in it's prime). So as far as that goes, I'd say it's about average compared to other insulated presses. (I also have a glass press that I use for tea, and that gets cold really quickly, so it's better than those for sure) The thing I like best about it, is that there are no plastic pieces to break off. The spout and handle are firmly attached (Welded?) to the pot, so they shouldn't come off. And the lid/plunger are metal as well. But not the kind of metal that makes your hands stink. I bought the gunmetal grey one, and just as a purely aesthetic comment, it's not as dark as it is in the Amazon pictures. Just fyi. It's still grey...but not really that dark. Which is fine. Oh, and it's not as heavy as it looks. I was expecting it to be pretty weighty, but it's not. It's not gonna give you a workout at 6am when you roll out of bed. So ya, bottom line, I couldn't be happier. I would absolutely purchase again if a tank ran over my current one and managed to break it. And I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that loves coffee. And they say it's expensive, but for any insulated press you're gonna get into pretty pricey territory, and this one certainly is worth it. 10/10 Thanks, Coffee Gator!! oh, and the little container that comes with it, is adorable. I'll never use it for coffee, but damn, it's cute. Edit: It's 2024 now. I have move across the country twice, gotten married, and still have my trusty Gator french press. I still use it at least once a day and it makes the coffee as wonderfully delicious as it did when I first bought it. I have changed the filters, washed it so much that the "gunmetal grey" came off and now it's solid silver. The ONLY thing that has broken was the top of the plunger, and that's only because it got dropped...hard. Right on its head. So yeah, go buy one. It's probably the best thing I've ever gotten on Amazon. Happy coffee drinking!!

I purchased this stainless press for an 18 day trip to the Philippines. Since everyone has those electric water kettles, I was able to easily have fresh delicious coffee everyday with this press. Even the last three days at Okada Manila I was able to make fresh coffee since they also had an electric kettle in the room, although a smaller hotel sized one than the standard residential size i had at my relative's house. I brought enough coarse French press ground French roast coffee for 18 days in a couple ziplock bags and it thankfully made it through security at SFO along with the press in my carry-on. TSA simply swabbed the outside of the ziplock with some sort of test solution. They didn't open the ziplocks or stir the coffee grounds. I heard that folks who put coffee in check-in luggage usually find it all over their luggage when unpacking, so I opted for carry-on transport, with the worst option being TSA making me throw it away at the checkpoint. Better than my clothes in luggage smelling like coffee. The press didn't give a weird taste to the coffee as other presses were complained about in Amazon reviews. I skipped warming the press up first, per the instructions, since I didn't want to waste relative's filtered water they pay for in the Philippines. I just added my 6-8 tablespoons of grounds to the press and filled to the fill mark inside with boiling water, stirred the grounds, and started my iPhone timer for 4 minutes with Siri. Coffee was great every time and relatives got to enjoy it, as well. I started putting in only 6 tablespoons because 8 was honestly just too strong. But, 8 tablespoons is certainly a great tasting cup of coffee, as well. The mesh press fit the inside diameter just fine and no grounds were ever present in the poured coffee. The press' handle did not break off like some similar designed presses on Amazon other reviewer's complained about, and the press plunger action was smooth and consistent every time. The construction of the press is solid and it didn't dent at all during my trip. I'm not sure how long it keeps coffee hot as I didn't want the coffee to over-steep, so I poured the remaining coffee out into a large measuring cup I brought after filling my own carrafe, so it wasn't too bitter. The press is easy to clean. I only wish I also brought a long spoon to get the grounds out of the bottom of the press as I only had a small tea stirring spoon to work with when I got to the hotel at the end of my trip. My hand was just small enough to fit inside the press to get to the bottom to scrape out the grounds. My large measuring cup, the press, the ground coffee, and a tablespoon measuring spoon was a great kit to bring. The included glass travel jar fits 8 tablespoons of grounds. I brought it filled with grounds but didn't need to use it as I didn't go on any side trips and had access to my ziplock full of coffee grounds the whole trip. But, it's a nice travel jar, although not airtight, since the coffee smell made it out easily. I did test my press several times before packing for my trip to ensure it worked well. Overall, this is a great press, especially for someone who's trying a French press for the first time, and it definitely is a great travel press model.

Love this coffee maker! Sturdy, utilitarian, sleek, it has everything you’re looking for in a French press (unless you like seeing your coffee steep like in a glass French press lol). If you preheat as suggested, it will keep your coffee hot long after you’ve brewed it. I love that there is 0 plastic in its design. Can’t recommend enough.

I originally had this in the gray and then moved and gave it away and missed it so I bought another one and stainless steel. Never had any paint chips like some people have reported. If you screw on the double strainer hard enough you don't have any problem with it. Coffee is amazing and I love the design of this plus it keeps the coffee warm. It is not a thermos it is a French press. So if you want to take it with you on the road put it in the thermos. Excellent quality and easy to clean.

I have a polivair that keeps it hotter but this is better size for multiple people having a cup. I have always loved the taste of the French press but I also love a lot of milk in my coffee so the traditional glass French press leaves me with a warm cup and not a hot coffee. These metal insulated ones are great for hot coffee. The little coffee jar that comes with it is way smaller that I would like, it holds enough for One maybe two brews, not helpful on vacation and it is glass so you have to be mindful of that if packaging or traveling. Clean up is easy but as with all french presses the coffee grounds are a little messy to clean up if you don’t want them in the sink.

This is my first French press, and I really appreciate the quality, ease of use, and ease of cleaning. I heard lots of stories on French presses having the tendency to leave fines and 'sludge' in my cup. However, I've not experienced this with this press. I follow the directions that came with it, and my coffee seems pretty clear, and I pour it all out every time. This was even when I was using a very cheap/old burr grinder that always produced some 'powder', that I just left in there. I prefer the durability and aesthetic of stainless steel, and this looks nice and cleans easily. Even tho it takes a lot longer than my Keurig machine, I've found that we almost exclusively use it for all of our coffee.

Bottom line: Most excellent product. (Hot, smooth, delicious coffee.) Most excellent vendor. (Prompt, professional, fluent English, courteous.) + We are also able to make cold Americano. :) Details … The Vendor: Coffee Gator epitomizes customer service. There were couple of mistakes made with their shipment and a defective product. However, their customer service spoke in full grammatically correct English (Thank you!) and were courteous, prompt, reasonable, understanding and professional. I want every vendor, either online or brick and mortar to be like them. They provided gold level customer service. I am a coffee aficionado and love to drink French press coffee and Americano. As does my wife who also loves latte and cappuccino. I have ordered their "Large French Press Coffee Maker - Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel, Silver, 34floz" in February of 2019. Unfortunately, they delivered "gray" version of the press. When I called them, they responded in proper English in full sentences, apologized and arranged for an immediate replacement. I received the correct stainless steel replacement French Press coffee maker promptly. But it turned out to be defective. We noticed a sharp almost inaudible high pitch as soon as we poured hot water into the press. ??? After investigation, we noticed a tiny perforation/hole at the edge of the press. The press is a vacuum double insulated wall. Oops! The press is clearly no longer vacuum sealed and the hot water heated the air, which escaped through the tiny hole making an high pitched sound. So I made another call to Coffee Gator and explained the situation. They promptly spoke in easy to understand proper English and sent a replacement. This time, it was simply divine! The Product: We set out to make our much awaited French coffee and the coffee was PERFECT! So smooth! So rich (yes, we use good beans ...). So divine. We have been using the typical glass design, which is fragile and the coffee is not hot. The Coffee Gator's French Press Coffee Maker's vacuum sealed double wasll stainless steel kept the coffee very hot! It contained instructions to make French Press coffee as well, in case you don't know how to do so. It was slightly diffreent from the way I had done it, but following it, the coffee was deliciously hot!! Yes! And the double filter design and removing the foam in mid process, made the coffee so velvety delicious. If you are a coffee drinker, you owe it to yourself to drink this. Added bonus: My wife and I also love cold Americano. But the machines to make them are very expensive (thousands of dollars for a decent one). On a whim we brewed a stronger French press coffee, chilled it and viola! Cold Americano!!! We used to drive out of our way for a decent cup of cold Americano and no more. Thank you Coffee Gator! We have reached coffee Shangrila. *** Cleaning *** On the review/rating for cleaning, I gave it a 3 stars, not because this product is any more difficult to clean then other French press coffee maker. However, there are many components to a French press coffee maker and it is a tedious process. Just so the buyer is aware, the product and the company (Coffee Gator) are top notch.

Absolutely! Here’s a polished, friendly-yet-robust review you can post online or on social media: --- ✨ Five Stars for My New Favorite French Press! ☕️ I’m seriously impressed with this insulated French press—it’s everything I didn’t know I needed. First of all, it’s sleek and modern, with a cool, minimalist rod-style handle that looks great on my counter and feels solid in my hand. But functionally? Even better. The double-walled insulation keeps my coffee (or tea!) warm for hours without that scorched or bitter aftertaste. No more rushing to drink it all before it cools. And the added bonus? It comes with a compact storage container for coffee grounds that’s just as well-designed—perfect for travel or stashing on a tidy shelf. It’s clear this was made with both form and function in mind. Durable, stylish, and super satisfying to use. If you're a slow sipper like me or just want a beautiful, reliable press that does the job right, this one's worth every penny.

Riktigt bra, men kunde hållt värmen lite längre.

Have been using it for over a year now, and quite satisfied with the quality and finish. Easy to clean and keeps the coffee Very hot. I pre-heat it with a bit of boiling water befor adding the coffee and water, Its a bit difficult to see the markings inside, but i use a scale to measure the coffee, so i leave it on the scale and add the water, for a perfect cup every time !

This is so beautiful, but very heavy for my hands because of the arthritis in my hands

Gran aspecto en calidad y diseño, con la ventaja de no romperse, como sucedió con la anterior de vidrio, y con alguna ventaja adicional, como conservar mejor el calor gracias al aislamiento de doble pared del vaso. Por último, el detalle extra del recipiente a juego para guardar café molido.

I got this press after the last one I had (glass) broke after I sadly dropped it and needed a new one. This might be the best french press I have ever used. I'm using it almost every morning for my coffee and never had any complaints. It looks just like on the picture, holds about 750ml and the included holder for coffee grounds is kind of cute. I don't think I ever needed it since I always grind my beans right before brewing and so do not have much use for the container. I imagine you could use it to keep grounds for one can if you ever have a need to keep some. Otherwise, everything is great. The press itself is not as heavy as one might imagine from the look, even when its full it doesn't feel much heavier than any other glass press. The big advantage to glass however is of course the sturdiness. I have not dropped it from the same height as my broken glass press, so I cannot say if it would survive, but I have knocked it over before and at least a few centimeter drop did not affect it at all, and from what it looks like I'm pretty sure it is very unlikely it would break. I'm more concerned about dents in my floor than the press breaking. With this sturdiness also comes another advantage for free: heat retention. Especially when I'm home alone, I often make the press and slowly drink the 3 cups it holds over the course of the morning with the last cup 3-4 hours after making it, and compared to the coffee being in the cup or in a different container, the press holds the temperature greatly. Even when I get out my last cup the coffee is still at a great temperature to drink. I've never tested this extensively so I do not know how long it could hold temperature, but I would guess 6 hours should not be a problem.
