Before trying a French press, it might seem like a percolator. Nope. It’s as easy as placing coarsely ground coffee into the carafe, pouring in boiling water, giving it a quick stir, and waiting four minutes. Then you depress the plunger, pushing the filter down through the coffee, and the grounds to the bottom. All your hard work is rewarded, when you pour a deep, rich, aromatic cuppa joe.
For connoisseurs
Do you know what makes great coffee taste so sumptuous? It’s the oils. They provide the deep aromas and flavors. And fair warning, if you’re brewing with fresh premium beans, you might find some little dots of oil in your cup. Even with the three filters, the oils slide through. We love the heavy-duty construction, with two layers of stainless steel. This thick stainless design keeps your coffee hot for an hour. But you’ll probably drink it before that.
Two sets of double screens
The Veken glass coffee maker has a measuring line, so you can make a perfect brew every time. Watching the coffee through the glass is fun, as is pushing down that coffee filter through the hot water. We love that the four filters keep any bits of beans out of your beverage. Some coffee cultures don’t filter their brews at all. Turkish coffee, for example, is made from finely ground beans and just poured, unfiltered, into the small cup. We don’t like crunchy coffee, that’s why we love our French press.
Made for the kitchen
The copper color and interesting design make this stainless steel French press a great gift for any kitchen. The copper coats a layer of sturdy stainless steel, and the thick high-thermal glass allows you to watch your coffee brew. Even though this coffee pot isn’t short or stout, we love the specially designed no-drop handle (and spout). The 34-ounce size provides a luxurious morning full of flavorful coffee.
Easy to clean
We love the polished stainless steel inside and out on this French press. This manual coffee maker is built to last you for years. There are eight other colors, including matte black, kelly green, and hot pink. The sleek parallel handle and the top knob stay cool, too. The pieces come apart for easy cleaning, and you can even put them in the dishwasher.
Exceeds food safety standards
Not that brewing coffee in a French press is complicated, but we love the included brewing guide. This way we can double-check to ensure great coffee from the get-go. All the pieces – screens, spring-loaded base, lid strainer, carafe and lid are made of corrosion and rust-resistant stainless steel. The whole appliance is BPA Free, and USDA and European Commission approved.
