BruTrek by Planetary Design | BaseCamp French Press | 32 fl.oz Storm Gray

I am in my 50’s and have been a big outdoorsman and coffee drinker for most of my life. I have gone through many pots and drink ware designed for travel and the outdoors over the years. I’m very familiar with products that say they are “designed” for outdoor use, quality, and longevity. This product actually performs as advertised. I have made several pots of coffee already and I am extremely pleased. Makes excellent tasting coffee and keeps it hot for a long time. Easy to clean up! This item is perfect for camping, backpacking, or just using at home everyday. The pot is rugged, high quality construction, that will withstand years of outdoor use. It’s my new go to daily coffee maker from now on! In addition, the pot is designed in the beautiful state of Montana by folks who know about living in the outdoors. What more could you ask for?! THANK YOU BruTrek!

Use every day. Wish it wasn’t so hard to push down always afraid it will exploded out the top. Only happened once. Keeps coffee hot all day.

I love this press! I have a lot of presses and this is now one of my favorites. This one replaced my 64oz Stanley press. I like the look and how it keeps my coffee warm. I’ve only used it a couple of times now but I’m excited to take it with me camping. Highly recommended

Makes a good darn pot of coffee! Only reason for 4/5 stars is due to one of the vent seals breaking in half and falling out when I poured a cup. I had a spare top from another smaller BruTrek press (the rest of it suffered an unfortunate incident with a truck tire) which I salvaged the seal from and was back to making coffee. I use this daily and take it to work with me, bouncing around the work truck all day. It also goes with me camping, keeping my coffee hot on even the most frozen of mornings. This thing keeps coffee hot for 5 hours and hot enough for another 5. Just remember, the finer the grind the more pressure it will take to push the press down.

Best coffee press I've had. Very durable for outdoor or indoor use. The plunger is hard to plunge only because the filtering works so well - this problem is solved by lifting the plunger a tiny bit, then pressing down, then lifting a tiny bit then pressing down. Keeps the coffee hot as warm as any other insulated beverage container.

I should have listened to the guy who said this was plunger was too hard to push down. When I opened the package it was very difficult to get the lid off. Couldn't tighten it enough to get it lined up so poured from the side . This is great to keeping liquids from coming out. Too bad it is practically impossible to open to make coffee. Wish I could send this back. My strong husband had enough after 3 days of trying to use this and we went to a store to buy something different.

The press is well-made, durable, keeps the coffee reasonably hot for quite a while. My rating is specific to a couple things. The screw-on top does not naturally fall into the grooves, so it takes a bit of effort to get things lined up. Then the plunger seal is so tight (which I thought would be a good thing at first) I could not plunge it without leaning my entire weight on it, and that will eventually damage the plunger in addition to being so difficult. On cold mornings, and with aged hands, the process is time-consuming and difficult. Meanwhile, the coffee is steeping in the bottom of the press all this time. My hope is there is a break-in period, but haven't seen any reviews that indicate this. After a week in the field, I have adjusted and much happier with the product. Don't get frustrated. Let it break in.

It is easy to use, clean and sturdy. My family members also have one.

Es muy pesada, por lo que no es práctica para caminatas. Además, no venía en caja y llegó golpeada. La devolví y no la pedí nuevamente.

J'aime beaucoup le café et le fresh-press est sans doute l'une des meilleures façons de l'apprécier. Personnellement, je trouve ça meilleur que le café filtre. Souhaitant remplacer mon vieux système de fresh-press, j'ai été vers la marque BruTrek que je connais déjà pour avoir une tasse portable du même genre. Leur système de pressoir est vraiment efficace ! PROS : - C'est très robuste ! Le contenant et l'anse de l'appareil est fait de métal. Le couvercle est en plastique de très bonne qualité. Le système de presse est en métal, plastique et caoutchouc. - La double paroi garde le café chaud pendant des heures ! - Le système de filtration est plus efficace que chez Bodum. Il ne laisse pas passer de grains de café. CONS : Pas vraiment de défauts, peut-être juste des améliorations possibles : - Mon ancien système de presse avait une graduation à l'intérieur. Il était donc possible de mesurer la quantité d'eau si l'on voulait moins de café. - Le revêtement en caoutchouc de l'anse s'arrête trop tôt dans le haut de l'anse. Lorsque l'on soulève la cafetière, notre doigt est juste à la limite entre le caoutchouc et le métal, ce qui n'est pas toujours agréable. - Le prix. La produit est très bon, mais assez cher ! Conseils aussi : Certaines moutures de café pas assez fin peuvent bloquer le pressoir et rendre la descente du piston plus difficile. Si c'est le cas, changez de marque de café ou de taille de mouture, cela devrait régler le problème.

It’s well insulated so stays hot for a long while. The extra plate on the screen makes it a little tough to press but, it keeps the grounds out. Very sturdy unit too
