Borosilicate Glass French Press Coffee Maker 34 Oz, Black | Heat-Resistant Cafetiere & Tea Maker, Thickened Glass Coffee Press for Travel and Camping

If you've never had a cup of French Press coffee, let me tell you what you're missing. It's an uncomplicated, delicious way to enjoy your cup of Joe. This French Press is an excellent value for a great little coffee maker. Don't be intimidated by the word "French" in the title. It was a French invention that is actually rather simply to use. First, this little coffee maker comes with a coffee scoop. This allows you to choose the strength of your coffee. You simply place the grounds into the carafe, pour hot water over the top to your desired amount of cups (this size will yield two average American coffee mugs' worth of coffee), then give them a good stir before placing the lid on. Do not plunge your press all the way down just yet, though. You want to allow the hot water and coffee the chance to dance a bit, between 4 to 7 minutes is pretty ideal, then plunge down the plunger to cover the grounds and pour into your cup. The first thing you'll immediately notice with a good French press is how easy it is to enjoy great tasting coffee. The time it steeps gives it a chance to release the oils of the coffee bean thereby also releasing a better tasting cup than brewed in an electric coffee maker and richer than a pour-over set up which always includes a paper filter which traps some of the flavor the oils produce. This product does a great job of achieving all of the above. As tempting as it may be to re-use coffee grounds, remember they are really only going to be good for one use. Throw them into your compost heap if you don't wish to waste them. One tip about grinding your own coffee, use a coarse grind to really take advantage of your French press. A finer grind sometimes allows little bits of coffee grounds to escape through the mesh of some coffee makers which disrupts the experience. I will say, however, that even with a regular bag of Starbucks coffee picked up from a grocery store already ground, I did not see this problem. The mess on this pot is pretty good about keeping out the undesirable bits and only giving you what you want--great tasting brew. Cleaning most French presses is not super-hard, but also not always simple. To make my life easier, I just toss mine into the the top rack of the dishwasher (yes, this FP is dishwasher-safe) thus avoiding having to bend and maneuver the mesh screen. This can cause warping if handled too aggressively which allows grounds to seep out during the brewing process. The less you try to manipulate the screen, the longer this product is likely to last. I've enjoyed this press for a few weeks now and had zero complications in achieving coffee nirvana. It really does it's job. If you are looking for something to hold the hot coffee in in between cups, I suggest an insulated mug or carafe. That is the downfall of most French presses, but it doesn't mean the challenge cannot be smartly met. I really recommend this product for it's price, durability, and easy operation.

This product is wonderful and easy to use and clean.

I recently purchased the Utopia Kitchen Borosilicate Glass French Press Coffee Maker (34 oz), and it has been a great addition to my morning routine. First, the borosilicate glass carafe feels sturdy and well-made. It’s designed to handle heat well, and I haven’t had any issues pouring in boiling water. The thickened glass gives it a durable feel compared to some thinner French presses I’ve used before. The 34 oz capacity is perfect for making multiple cups of coffee at once, which is great when I have guests or want a second cup without brewing again. The stainless steel plunger and filter system works smoothly and does a good job separating the grounds, producing a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee with minimal sediment. Another thing I like is the simple design and easy cleaning. The parts come apart quickly, so rinsing or washing everything after use is straightforward. It also works well for brewing loose-leaf tea, which makes it a versatile addition to the kitchen. Overall, this French press offers good quality for the price. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and brews excellent coffee. If you’re looking for an affordable and reliable French press with a decent capacity, this one is definitely worth considering.

Good value for the price. It’s a solid starter French press — the borosilicate glass handles heat well, and it’s easy to use for both coffee and tea. The 34 oz size is great if you’re making a couple of cups at once. It’s not premium-tier build quality, but for everyday use, camping, or travel backup, it does the job well. Just handle it with normal care since glass can still be fragile.

Although I've had French Press coffee, I didn't like it. I hate sludge in the bottom of my cup. So I always made pour-over. But then I purchased brewable cacao which calls for a French Press. I decided to purchase a small, inexpensive one. This was cute and colorful, sounded good, so I bought it. I bought the one cup version. It's adorable! My daughter, who uses French Press regularly, squealed over it. Anyway, I began brewing the cacao in it and was very happy with the results. There is some very fine sediment in the cup, but it isn't bad. Then I began adding a bit of coffee during the final couple of minutes to give a mocha flavor. It surprised me that there wasn't much sediment even with the coffee. The flavor is excellent. It holds heat very well. The few cons with it are: The glass portion doesn't seem to remove from the plastic, so I can't get into the crevasses to clean the outside. I do personally find cleanup a bit difficult. Normally I use a teaspoon to get to the bottom to remove the grounds, or I rinse them out into the toilet because I don't have a garbage disposal. Recently I began scooping out what I can, then rinsing the rest out and putting them through a pour-over setup to be able to toss them into the garbage. That works well. Even though I have a small hand, I can't get into the one-cup press to clean it, so I have to use a long-handled glass brush. Finally, I broke the carafe, but that was almost certainly my own fault. I banged it against the garbage can rather than gently tapping it. Almost cried because I had no way to properly brew the cacao! Ordering another one today, this time in a larger size so I can reheat another cup later or have it cold in the 100+ degree heat. All in all, I'm not tempted to purchase a more expensive one because I see no need to do so. I'm really pleased with this and enjoy the ritual of making coffee, cacao, and tea in this press. Maybe I'll buy two and give one to my daughter!

I got this to try a new coffee I received from a friend. I normally use coffee pods but I do like a cold brewed coffee sometimes. In either case, this French press was perfect for just me. Its easy to use, fits right in my fridge perfectly, lightweight and easy to clean after. I make the coffee with water, stir well and cover with wrap until its ready(about 10-12 hours. Then, I remove the wrap and slowly push the coffee down with the press. Pour and enjoy. I get 2 to 3 glasses time I make it. Great buy!

I think I've owned this for 2 years now. Works well and is decent quality both build and material wise.

I bought this French press six months ago as a complete beginner. After using it about 100 times, it was a great tool to learn with, but the build quality is definitely subpar. The plunger rod is too short, meaning you cannot push it all the way to the bottom of the carafe. Over time, the cross plate became misaligned, and the filter mesh is now permanently stained despite regular, thorough cleaning. To make matters worse, the screw on the cross plate has stripped and loosened, making it nearly impossible to disassemble for washing. I am likely throwing it out at this point. Given the low price, you truly get what you pay for. It is a decent starter kit to see if you like French press coffee, but make no mistake, it is cheaply made and will not last.
