DiguoOrganic Bamboo Coffee Stir Stick French Press Spoon- Contoured Vacuum Coffee Brewer Stirrer for Hario Yama Syphon Siphon Coffeemaker - Brewing Coffee or Tea, 8"

seems like "you do not need it" think again...coffee tastes SO much better when you stir with this ! Not sure why ; but, I am glad to have it..

This tool is just the right size to stir coffee in my French press before serving. It’s made of wood so It won’t damage the glass.

I bought this as a replacement stir stick for my French press. This one doesn’t feel as dense as my previous one. It feels a little cheaper quality and it doesn’t feel like it is as polished as my previous one. Because of this, it feels like it could splinter easy and I’m always looking to see if I have splinters of wood in my coffee. So far, I have had no issues. It is just an observation and concern.

Its the perfect size for my little french coffee press. I've had this for a few months now to give it a good go before reviewing it. I just have to say if you own a small single size french press then this is the perfect companion, a real must have. It not only works to stir the grounds before plunging the press down, it also works great at assisting in scooping out the grounds when cleaning your french press. I highly recommend this little bamboo grm of a stirring paddle! Definitely a 5 star rsting in my book!

If you stir the AeroPress with a metal spoon it will cause the temperature to plunge too much (well, you could preheat the spoon but that's another step). With this wooden stirrer there is no temperature loss. Also, it's just the right length for the AeroPress. It's quite thick for its size and so appears very sturdy. The surface of the bamboo has indeed been treated ("carbonized"), so any coffee residue easily rinses off, as opposed to being absorbed by the wood. Very nice.

My favorite feature is that it’s reusable and doesn’t contribute to our landfills. It’s also quiet, actually stirs up your coffee, and doesn’t scratch up the bottom of your coffee cup. I just rinse it quickly and set it on a paper towel to dry, and actually wash it once a week. Perfect! We had some pretty rose gold stirrers that were supposedly stainless steel, but they started to corrode at the bottom so who knows what kind of metal they really were. They would turn the paper towel green, so, that’s not good. Bamboo is the much safer choice, plus this one stirs much better. The rose gold ones were so tiny on the end that there wasn’t much friction as you stirred your coffee.

We’ll, it’s a small bamboo coffee stirrer. I’m sure that a plastic spoon would work just as well. It’s thin and very light and looks like something my son might make as a Cub Scout project. It does not appear to be particularly sturdy. I decided to treat it with mineral oil to keep my “‘investment” from warping or cracking. I hope none of the oil leaches into my coffee. It probably should not be left submerged in water for extended periods. It has not broken or malfunctioned in any way, but I don’t plan to buy another one.

The stir stick does what it’s supposed to do. It’s a bit smaller than I expected but it’s long enough to stir in a standard 32 oz French press. But an overall good value. I’d probably order again if I ever need another French press stir stick.
