PRESSE by Bobble French Coffee Press And Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler for On-The-Go Brewing - 13 oz (Black)

On a recent trip I finally 'had it' with bad hotel coffee, buying an overpriced (and overly roasted and burnt tasting) cup from the local Starbucks, or dealing with an unsatisfying and inconsistent cup of coffee from the whatever is in the hotel room. I've tried a few things - something called a Clever Dripper (too bulky), something else called a Primula Brew Buddy, yet another drip idea called Munieq Tetra Portable Coffee Drip, and then figured I would try to find a french press for travel (this is how I make coffee at home). This Presse unit fits my needs perfectly. • The container you press the coffee in serves as a handy mug • The plunger does not contain a rod running down the middle - opening up storage space • The silicone seal around the cylindrical plunger seals nicely • The bottom filter isn't plastic or nylon mesh, but rather a nice steel unit that screws in (thus replaceable) • This filter could be used as a measuring device (but I don't need to do this, I measure the coffee differently) • The silicone lid works well enough (but don't depend on it to be leakproof) I purchased a hand-held grinder (a relatively expensive one called a Porlex, less expensive ones with a similar design are available), as well as immersion heater. The Porlex (minus its handle) fits nicely inside the Presse, with the immersion device and a baggie of beans (with a measuring spoon and Porlex handle) I've got a self-contained and perfect brew that doesn't take up much space. I can see one downside to this design, there is residual coffee that sits underneath the metal filter unit that does not 'dispense' to the upper main area (where you drink from). I have to take the plunger out, and pour about 1/4 cup of coffee / grounds away. The silicone seal is really tight, likely causing a kind of vacuum that keeps the liquid in the bottom to the height of the filter unit. I didn't make the maximum amounts of coffee - for my trial runs this morning, only a few typical amounts (two tablespoons of beans or about 2.5 tablespoons of grounds and about 3/4 to the top of the Presse container. I'll continue playing around with how I deal with that 1/4 cup of grounds + coffee - likely it'll just go down the drain. The unit is easy to clean, very sturdy and you don't have to feel like it's fragile. I love the finish - it's as if it is anodized metal with a clear coating on it that is attractive and comfortable to hold. I am looking forward to my next trip where I can get fresh coffee no matter where I am, with the same whole beans I use at home, without a lot of fuss (nor wasted space nor the hassle paper filters). The photos are my entire travel-friendly setup - the Presse french press, the Porlex manual burr coffee grinder, a dual-voltage immersion heater (complete with custom red holder I made with some thick wire I had lying around to accommodate the Presse) and the sandwich baggie of beans that also holds the Porlex handle and spoon. All in all I spent something like $100 for this and am so happy about it I decided to write a review. (I haven't written a review in many years.)

I like the size of this press. I wanted something easy to use, that worked well, and was able to travel well. This is it! It makes the right amount, the flavor is great, and it's easy to use and clean. It doesn't leave a bunch of 'sludge' in the coffee either. Very nice. I've got two large presses, but they don't fill the need like this one does. I'm very happy with this one. It also keeps coffee surprisingly hot for hours. For the price, you can't beat this little portable press. A great value. Make it and take it, all in one cup.

Have treated myself to 3 of these over the last 4 years and they are the best I've found anywhere. I use one every day and they're great. Very easy to use and easy to clean. I have 2 Red and a Blue one and would love it if they would offer the Presse in more colors.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it! He loves French press coffee but sometimes is running a little behind for work. Perfect for days that he’s rushing out the door, he’s able to make his coffee at work to enjoy now. He said the coffee is delicious and it also stays hot throughout the day which is a bonus too.

I like the size, and shape. It works well for a desk top coffee mug, a bit big for some car cup holders. The French press part works better than expected. The lid is ok, would prefer screw on but it does ok for not leaking. I would NOT call it spill proof though. The aspect I like least is the hole to drink out of, it is hard to "sip" and very easy to get burned if you like coffee hot.

I was cautious about purchasing this product with the mixed reviews. However, I just made the perfect after dinner cup. All the parts came apart for easy, thorough cleaning and reassembly was no problem. The size/circumference of the thermos is great as I’m older and beginning to struggle with my grip of larger items. I’ve cut way back on my coffee intake so this is just enough to hold 10-12 oz. easily. The coffee was good to the last drop; there was not a single ground in the bottom of my cup! Because I poured it into my favorite cup I’m not sure how well the thermos does at keeping coffee hot. I’ll have to measure that another day. I wanted an easy way to make coffee at my new job without bringing a coffee pot, this is the best alternative. It requires no electricity, which is good since there are no available outlets in my office, and takes up no more space than a cup on the desk. Also, I don’t have to worry about pods or filters. I might have to get another for home and get rid of the coffee pot. But then again, it does make a quick pot of hot water for my coffee so I think I’ll keep it. The thing that I would love to see is carry handle for when my hands are full. When I use my carryall it fits in the pocket, but I don’t use it everyday. Great buy and wonderful gift idea for coffee drinkers. Another reason, the office coffee pot looks scary sometimes. This is just for me so I know it’s clean.

Love these bobble coffee makers. We use them all the time. My only criticism of them is that spare rubber parts cannot be found . The makers could last years if these spares were made. This is the main reason we have purchased more of this product.

So simple and effective, If you take coffee as seriously as I do then you will love this!! No grinds and this baby keeps your coffee HOT for hrs which means no more reheating in the microwave! The silicone lid is a nice alternative to standard travel mug lids- which i dont love tbh and the stainless is sleek and super easy to clean! I would highly recommend this travel press!

Eco friendly. I no longer buy coffee in the mornings. Durable. Easy to clean

Great coffee press makes a good coffee and can be used as an insulated drinking cup.
