ESPRO P7 French Press Coffee Maker - Double-Walled Stainless Steel Insulated with Micro-Filter, 18 Ounces, Agean Blue

This is my first French Press, and there's no going back to pods or drip coffee! It's so easy to use, even for a beginner. It's also easy to clean the filters. Make sure to tap and wipe off as much of the grounds as possible. You don't want to put grounds down your sink! Rinsing off a little sludge is fine. Then all you need to do is rinse off the filters. I use a fine mesh strainer to get the coffee grounds out of the pot. Now, for the best part! Because of the double filters, you will get very little to no coffee grounds in your cup. When I say very little, I mean, you might see a couple of grounds at the bottom of your cup. This thing makes a clean cup of coffee. I was a bit intimidated by the thought of getting a French Press, but I'm a fan. It takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish, a bit longer than putting a pod in your Keurig, but it's so worth it. I don't even mind cleaning the burr and the filters, it's just part of the French Press experience!

Great product- makes wonderful coffee

Awsome french press coffee maker. Easy to use and the craft keeps the coffee hot. The 18 oz version is a perfect size for me. I would buy it again and recommend this product.

We were looking for a french press that made a lot of coffee, was high quality, and dish washer safe. This product fills all of these categories. The insulation keeps your coffee hot and compared to other coffee presses, this is one that will last. It is a bit pricey compared to other coffee presses, but it makes up for that in the size and easiness to clean. 10/10 recommend

Works better than old French Press at screening out sediment but doesn't get all of it out like a paper filter does.

This is the best French Press! I bought it in 2024 and have been using daily ever since. Recently bought the replacement filters just to have on hand for when they wear out. I expect many more years of service. Highly recommend.

You still get the sludge in the bottom of your cup, as is expected with a french press. Not a ton but it’s still there. Don’t let the marketing fool you. Also, there is a fair amount of water left in the canister that doesn’t come out when pouring a cup so you have all this liquid and coffee grounds to clean up. Takes about 7 minutes to make a cup of coffee. Which I wasn’t prepared for. 3 minutes to boil water and 4 minute to steep the coffee.

I bought this along with a super high-quality grinder, and discovered that I kinda only needed one or the other.The mesh filters are fine enough on this that you can get away with a relatively crappy grinder. You can even use regular pre-ground coffee, and it'll come out okay. With a normal glass/single layer mesh press, using regular grounds will result in actual sludge in the bottom of your cup. With this unit, the Costco bulk ground coffee will leave some fines in your cup, but will work fine otherwise; the second layer of screening is good enough to keep the sludge at bay.If, on the other hand, you have a high quality, consistent grinder, you can buy a less expensive press and do fine. That said, pairing this with a good grinder makes absolutely *splendid* coffee. You don't necessarily need both, but I doubt you'll regret the purchase. The double filters can also help you calibrate your grinder; if the inner filter is getting many grounds on it, you probably want a slightly coarser grind.This unit is tall and skinny, and does better with a tall sink for cleaning. If you're trying to rinse it out upstairs in a standard bathroom sink, you should be able to do it, but it'll take a little maneuvering. The actual cleaning process is very easy, although you do have to clean two little baskets instead of one. It takes a wee bit longer than cleaning a standard press.The build quality seems good.Oh, one other note: because of the filter design, you end up with some coffee left in the bottom that you can't drink. You're using a more water than normal, so it takes more grounds than you're probably expecting. Further, French presses need more grounds for the same amount of coffee, because they're ground coarse and use a shorter brewing time. (normally 4 minutes.) I use six tablespoons of coffee per batch, and I get two 16-ounce cups out of it. With my older drip brewer, it took only four tablespoons.In exchange, the quality is *vastly* better, you can use almost any grounds, and after you've plunged it, the coffee stays excellent for at least an hour. Seems well worth it to me, but if your coffee budget is small, the higher consumption might be something to consider.
