ESPRO P3 Glass Cafetiere French Press Coffee Maker, 4 Cup, 950ml, Black

If your new to French Press this is in my opinion is a perfect start .... but warning you may become a coffee snob 🤗

This cafetiere is great, recommend it.

4 stars is the best what i can give, and the reason is simple, when you press the coffee you should do it very slow or the rubber seal will move off and will let all the coffee to get up. I dont use both filters so is not the best for coffee maybe is better to do a tea or something like that!

I was experiencing the infamous bottom of the mug sludge with my cafetiere amd often a mouthful of ground coffee. Yummy. I knew there had to be something better out there! I found this and immediately loved that it was glass so I could at least get a heads up if there were any grounds about to go straight into my mug. From the first batch made, there was a huge difference. Firstly the coffee had no added grounds. Already a bonus. Secondly, there wasn't even any bottom of the mug sludge, the double filter system does an amazing job of filtering out almost everything that shouldn't make it to your mug. It looks fab, it does the job exactly right, and is so easy to clean. I give it a solid 8 bananas!

Excellent product,handle feels a bit cheap but it works as well as an aero press and makes a decent amount of hot coffee.So far so good and I haven't needed to use the filter papers provided,just a fine residue in the bottom of a mug which is down to supermarket ground for all coffee makers.

Makes good coffee, but with more parts than a standard French press it is a bit more fiddly to dismantle and clean and takes some getting used to. Is the coffee better? Probably less residue gets through the double filter. However, there is always at least a couple of tablespoons of liquid residue (you cannot press it almost dry like with a standard cafetière) so removing coffee grounds and disposing of them in the bin is harder. More ends up down the sink. This is because the design of the filter mechanism (pressed coffee enter through filters at the side rather than the bottom, which is flat plastic) means the last quarter cup always gets stuck at the bottom, trapped beneath the seal. I have found that lifting the plunger, so that the plastic bottom is above the liquid level, then pressing down again releases most of the remaining coffee through the mesh of the double filter, where it can bypass the seal and pour again. You would have to do this if you wanted two full cups of standard kitchen mug size at the minimum water level. If not, the tide would be out on cup two. To get two full cups without doing this would require filling to max water level, but you’d still have a substantial amount of perfectly drinkable coffee trapped beneath the seal. So, slightly better coffee but more fuss. If you want simplicity, I think a standard press would be for you. Now I’m used to it, I can live with it, but not sure it’s worth the extra money as I don’t think it would last any longer.

The best yet and great value for money.

glass broke after 10 uses (2weeks old). coffee went everywhere all over worktop. customer support not willing to replace or refund. very disappointed. will not be purchasing from them again

Good quality material

Großartige Erfindung! Anders als sonst kommt dank dem 2. Filter und einer sehr guten Dichtung so gut wie kein Kaffeesatz durch. Der Kaffee schmeckt so gut wie von FrenchPress bekannt und ist so sauber wie guter Filterkaffee.

コーヒーメーカーやペーパー式など試してきましたが、ペーパーを買ったりするのが面倒な事もあり、今回プレス式のこちらを購入いたしました。プレス式はペーパーに比べてコーヒーの油分やコーヒー豆のカスが気になると聞いていたのですが、こちらの商品は濾過するフィルターが二重になっているせいか全く気になりません。使い方も簡単で後片付けも流しの網にコーヒーかすを流して処理すれば良いので楽です。味もペーパーに比べてコーヒー本来の味が味わえてお気に入りになりました。

The best French press I have ever owned. Keeps it hot. No grinds in my cup and full bodied coffee. Massive fan. No affiliation. Just love this press. Now I need a little travel one from them! Didn’t see an option??

I bought my first Espro (a 32 oz. double-walled stainless steel model) in 2015 - mainly for its insulation as I like to keep my coffee hot while consuming 3 cups each morning. It proved to be a better alternative to the several classic glass French presses my wife and I have used over the years – for several reasons that equally apply to the P3 (which I first learned about reading NY Times Wirecutter). What’s to Like about the P3 (pics included) • Very effective double micro-filter with silicon seals. Some reviewers find this filter tedious to clean and overkill on filtration (I’ll address both issues) but I’m a big fan. The filtration system is as good as it gets in keeping grounds out of one’s coffee cup, and trapping residues that can appear in roasted coffee. Using the plunger takes more effort as the finer the grounds the more they will cling to the walls of the filter, impeding the flow and requiring more pressure to squeeze the plunger. But the good news: it is those same fine grounds that escape conventional French press filters, and that end up spoiling a cup of coffee. They just don’t get through. Plus, the filtration method minimizes the “extraction” process (it continues as the grounds sit in hot water) that can make the last cup bitter. • Dishwasher safe: The micro-filter is easy to disassemble, clean and re-assemble (see two pics). It may seem like a chore initially, but the filters are quite easy to take apart using a simple counterclockwise twist of the outermost filter from the plunger. A ½ inch twist is all that’s needed. Though Espro recommends hand-washing the entire unit, we put the plunger and disassembled filter in the dishwasher. It has survived over 100 washings so far without a glitch. Re-assembly is just as easy (see pics). Just align the slot on the outer filter with the tab on the inner filter and give it a clockwise twist to snap it back into place. • Easy to remove the glass carafe from its plastic housing for cleaning. Espro has incorporated a clever design for this. There’s a plastic tab (flange) affixed to the glass carafe (see pic) which, when it’s in the correct “pouring” position sits below the top ring of the plastic housing with handle, keeping the glass body securely in place. Just grip the top of the glass carafe, turn it until the tab sits directly above the handle and lift (see pics). Just reverse the steps to put the glass carafe securely back in the plastic housing. That said, rather than disassembling the glass body after each use we put the entire press in the dishwasher. No problems experienced. • Two water levels. There’s both a “max” and “min” setting on the glass carafe so that you can choose how much coffee to brew (see pic). The difference is about 1 cup of coffee. What you may not to Like • Coffee does not stay as hot as it does with Espro’s insulated brushed steel models. • Wasted coffee tradeoff (?): It’s debatable. This is an issue for some reviewers, but not for me. Unlike conventional French presses the Espro filtration method ends up with about 5 ounces of coffee and sludge remaining in the carafe after plunging it, which sits just above the plastic housing (see pic). You’ll get less wastage with a conventional press, but you’ll also get more grounds and bitterness towards the last cup. My take: I’m happy to trade off those 5 ounces to enjoy 27 ounces of very good coffee.
