Stainless Steel French Press Coffee Maker 1 L (34 oz) Mirror – Double Walled Insulated Large Coffee Press, Durable Design Keeps Drinks Hot, Easy to Use and Clean for Rich Flavor Brewing

After leaving my favourite french press on holiday (don't ask!), I was determined to get another that I would love as much. Though I have only had it for a week, it is fabulous. It is study and reassuringly weighty. the filter screen is a nice tight fit which catches almost all of the grounds, so very little left in bottom of the cup. Though advertised as having 2 free filter screens, one of them is the one that you would expect to be with a new item anyway (or how else would you use it?). The only reasons for 4 stars are the price and the paper work inside the product, insisting that reviews, questions and complaints should be made through ProSterling directly rather than Amazon. This made me feel somewhat uncomfortable and I would not. But other than that, I love my coffee freshly roasted, ground and pressed and this press makes me happy.

I love this press! It’s large enough for company and makes great coffee and keeps it warm!

This French Press Does the job.

This is my first French press coffee maker. Over the past year, I have been trying to expand my coffee-making skills using several pieces of equipment which I have purchased based upon many, many online reviews. My first purchase was a Cuisinart grind and brew coffee maker, which is impressive and makes pretty good coffee. However, in reading further about coffee making machines and wishing to get a machine capable of making a quick but satisfying-tasting cup of coffee, I read up on all the k-cup machines but found mostly negative reviews about the taste of k-cup coffee as well as the negative impact of the disposal of the cups. Mind you my wife is not a connoisseur of fine coffee and only wants a hot cup of whatever. Thus, when I finally decided upon the Bunn MyCafe brewer, which reviews had scored best in taste because of its ability to brew at a higher temperature than the others and with four different drawers for different brewing functions, she offered only a roll of the eyes for my effort. The Bunn machine is impressive, especially when using the ground coffee drawer with an EkoBrew filter. The k-cup drawer suits my wife fine, because it's quick and convenient. but for me, not so much. Now we owned two coffee-making machines with the accompanying loss of counter space. The wife still uses the original Cuisinart most of the time with the resulting waste of coffee as she brews a full twelve cup pot but only drinks perhaps a third of it. I have been experimenting with the Bunn using different types of Peets (my favorite brand) whole bean coffee ground in a Cuisinart burr grinder which I purchased with another wifely eye-roll. But the connoisseurs say grind your own with a burr grinder…I have discovered several combinations of coffee and grinds in my Bunn that I like, but I won't bother to reveal them since the purpose of this review is not my machines and coffees, but is my review of the SterlingPro Double Wall Stainless Steel French Press. However, I felt it was necessary to first take you through the process whereby I arrived at its purchase. So, let's get to the review: At first sight, this is an impressive looking machine with its beautifully polished stainless steel. Even my eye-rolling wife likes the looks of it sitting on our kitchen counter. It feels and looks very sturdy and uses double stainless filter screens to give the press extra efficiency at keeping the coffee free of grounds. I don't know how long the screens are supposed to last, but I suspect that they will do their work for a long time. Even so, the press comes with two spare screens packed with it—a nice touch. Some have questioned the metal on metal sound of the screens as the plunger is pressed. There is some such noise, but I haven't found it to be a problem since the pressing is most effective when done very slowly. The press is double walled and all stainless steel. There is no plastic anywhere. Thus the press keeps the water hotter while the coffee is steeping. I have been pouring the water just off the boil and allowing it to steep for four minutes. I have been stirring the coffee with a bamboo chop stick for a few seconds after the water is poured then putting the lid and plunger in. After a timed four minutes, I plunge very slowly until I feel it reach bottom. I then pour into my cup. I use 24 ounces of water to 4 tablespoons coarsely ground coffee. After pouring a 12 oz. cup, I pour the remainder into a small thermos to keep it hot. I do this because if left in the French Press, the remaining coffee will continue to extract to the point of bitterness. I have arrived at this procedure through trial and error and recommend that users spend time experimenting to find what works best for you. I do recommend that you not try to brew only one cup as I have found that doing so results in an excessive amount of sludge in the bottom of your coffee cup. Even with 2 twelve oz. cups, I find it necessary to pour the second cup very carefully leaving just a small amount of liquid unpoured in the pot. Clean up of the pot and its mechanism is vey easy. The plunger rod unscrews from the screens and screen holder quickly and allows the screens to be rinsed along with the other parts. If the rod is screwed too tightly at the bottom, you may have to use a pair of pliers to unscrew it initially but thereafter, it shouldn't be a problem. After cleaning the plunger assembly, I then just rinse out the grounds remaining in the bottom of the pot and wipe clean with a soapy sponge to keep oils from accumulating on the walls of the pot. A quick rinse of the pot and I'm done. Finally, the StirlingPro has produced the best coffee of all my three machines living up to the many praises I have been reading about French Press coffee. Admittedly, I am very new to this, but I expect that I won't be buying another coffee machine for awhile. At this stage, I would wholeheartedly recommend this Press.

This is my first French press. I switched from lattes as I can no longer drink milk. I had researched various methods, settled on French press, then researched brands. I'm glad I chose this one. It is very easy to use. I'm disabled and don't have much muscle strength. No problem! As long as the beans are ground coarse (I set my burr grinder for mid-coarse), the plunger is super-easy to push. I must have lucked out, cause my first cup was great. I preheated the press with water as it was approaching the recommended temp range on my new Wonder Sky gooseneck kettle. I bloomed the grounds first for 30 seconds (after stirring with a spatula since I don't have a wood spoon), then added the rest of the water as was recommended by various people online. No need to stir again. Waited 3 minutes before plunging. Oh, I used 4 level scoops using the one provided with the press with 12 oz water (total). Since I haven't officially stopped milk yet, I nuked about 4 oz in my mug. Not only did it preheat the mug, it also didn't cool off the coffee. I could've frothed the milk, I suppose, but didn't bother. Don't miss the foam. The result was a VERY hot, strong cup of wonderful java joy. In case you're interested, I use French roast beans that I now keep in an Airscape canister. Following online advice, I don't take it apart to rinse, just loosen so water can rinse off the few grinds in between the pieces. You can do this after pouring your cup and it will still be real hot. I have a strainer in one side of my sink, so later I just add a little more water to the small bit of leftover water/grinds then pour into the strainer; then empty the strainer into the trash (tap against side to knock it all out - very easy). I also recommend filling the press partway with warm soapy water and plunging a few times to clean it (saw this on you tube)! I hope I have given other novices all the info you need.
