PRESSE by Bobble French Coffee Press And Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler for On-The-Go Brewing - 13 oz (Copper)

On a recent trip I finally 'had it' with bad hotel coffee, buying an overpriced (and overly roasted and burnt tasting) cup from the local Starbucks, or dealing with an unsatisfying and inconsistent cup of coffee from the whatever is in the hotel room.I've tried a few things - something called a Clever Dripper (too bulky), something else called a Primula Brew Buddy, yet another drip idea called Munieq Tetra Portable Coffee Drip, and then figured I would try to find a french press for travel (this is how I make coffee at home). This Presse unit fits my needs perfectly.• The container you press the coffee in serves as a handy mug• The plunger does not contain a rod running down the middle - opening up storage space• The silicone seal around the cylindrical plunger seals nicely• The bottom filter isn't plastic or nylon mesh, but rather a nice steel unit that screws in (thus replaceable)• This filter could be used as a measuring device (but I don't need to do this, I measure the coffee differently)• The silicone lid works well enough (but don't depend on it to be leakproof)I purchased a hand-held grinder (a relatively expensive one called a Porlex, less expensive ones with a similar design are available), as well as immersion heater. The Porlex (minus its handle) fits nicely inside the Presse, with the immersion device and a baggie of beans (with a measuring spoon and Porlex handle) I've got a self-contained and perfect brew that doesn't take up much space.I can see one downside to this design, there is residual coffee that sits underneath the metal filter unit that does not 'dispense' to the upper main area (where you drink from). I have to take the plunger out, and pour about 1/4 cup of coffee / grounds away. The silicone seal is really tight, likely causing a kind of vacuum that keeps the liquid in the bottom to the height of the filter unit.I didn't make the maximum amounts of coffee - for my trial runs this morning, only a few typical amounts (two tablespoons of beans or about 2.5 tablespoons of grounds and about 3/4 to the top of the Presse container. I'll continue playing around with how I deal with that 1/4 cup of grounds + coffee - likely it'll just go down the drain.The unit is easy to clean, very sturdy and you don't have to feel like it's fragile. I love the finish - it's as if it is anodized metal with a clear coating on it that is attractive and comfortable to hold.I am looking forward to my next trip where I can get fresh coffee no matter where I am, with the same whole beans I use at home, without a lot of fuss (nor wasted space nor the hassle paper filters).The photos are my entire travel-friendly setup - the Presse french press, the Porlex manual burr coffee grinder, a dual-voltage immersion heater (complete with custom red holder I made with some thick wire I had lying around to accommodate the Presse) and the sandwich baggie of beans that also holds the Porlex handle and spoon.All in all I spent something like $100 for this and am so happy about it I decided to write a review. (I haven't written a review in many years.)

We like to drive rather than fly to our vacation destinations and sometimes we have to spend a night at a hotel where we get up very early the next morning to start our drive again. Sometimes it's hard to find an open coffee shop at the hotel or nearby and you never know how clean the coffee pots are in the hotel room, so we bought this, along with an electric kettle, to have coffee on the go.It easily fits in our overnight bag along with the electric kettle and now we have coffee first thing in the morning and don't have to stop along the way or wait for something to open up.We use regular Folgers coffee that is already ground and we haven't had any issues with coffee grounds in the coffee when using this. It's a little hard to clean but I find if you just add a little extra water to it and drain that out (don't press it) it loosens the coffee grounds a little and then you can throw them in compost.

It’s a good cup and does its job no complaints there just wish it held more. That’s more my fault I guess I should have looked for a bigger one.

I was cautious about purchasing this product with the mixed reviews. However, I just made the perfect after dinner cup.All the parts came apart for easy, thorough cleaning and reassembly was no problem. The size/circumference of the thermos is great as I’m older and beginning to struggle with my grip of larger items. I’ve cut way back on my coffee intake so this is just enough to hold 10-12 oz. easily.The coffee was good to the last drop; there was not a single ground in the bottom of my cup! Because I poured it into my favorite cup I’m not sure how well the thermos does at keeping coffee hot. I’ll have to measure that another day.I wanted an easy way to make coffee at my new job without bringing a coffee pot, this is the best alternative. It requires no electricity, which is good since there are no available outlets in my office, and takes up no more space than a cup on the desk. Also, I don’t have to worry about pods or filters.I might have to get another for home and get rid of the coffee pot. But then again, it does make a quick pot of hot water for my coffee so I think I’ll keep it.The thing that I would love to see is carry handle for when my hands are full. When I use my carryall it fits in the pocket, but I don’t use it everyday.Great buy and wonderful gift idea for coffee drinkers.Another reason, the office coffee pot looks scary sometimes. This is just for me so I know it’s clean.

Where have you been all these years? French press - my favorite way to make coffee. Travel mug - keeps it hot for hours. Love the slim design; easy to hold; fits in truck holder. I bought two for me just in case I want to skip on the dishes one day and one for my Mother. If you ever offer a 16oz slim design in mint green, I will buy that one too.

I love everything about this cup from size to color to feel. However I dont like its 7 plastic and not food grade silicone. As general rule don't use 1,3,6,7 with heat and this being triple insulated is not a good plastic to use. I purchased it to cut down on my daily plastic pods (along with all other plastic effecting my health) I used but thats proving to be much harder than i thought it would. If your not concerned with leaching and long term effects (they're here lol), then it's perfect. Just be warned that most plastic lids and liners used for hot foods are 5 and hardly 7 for this reason. Silicone doesn't have recycling number.I tried buying food grade silicone lid. I only found one that fit and it did so because I used without strainer inserted, and it didn't hold up when knocked over, it jarred loose and spilled.I ended up returning and sticking to steel pod.

I like how this makes a "french press" cup of coffee ... Takes 2 scoops of coffee (2 tablespoons or can use bottom of insert to measure out the coffee) and about 14-15 oz of hot water. The screen is very fine so very little silt finds it way into the coffee,
