Brew Delicious American Press Coffee and Tea in Minutes with this 12 oz. Maker

S Lee: This is my third American Press. I use one daily for my morning coffee and have a second for when I have company. The American Press makes a clean full bodied cup of coffee and I love that you can adjust the brewing process to suit your taste by changing the pre-infusion time or how long you take to depress the pod. You can also change how much water you use (max 14 oz) or how much coffee you put in the pod. I have found that the key things to remember are not to overfill the pod and use fresh medium grind coffee.
I discovered that I can make great tea with an American Press which is what my latest one will be used for. Try it, you'll love it!

Jeffrey DowningJeffrey Downing: Since first purchasing an American Press Coffee Maker several years ago, the Press has been around the world with me. If you enjoy coffee and want consistency in your travels, the American Press is the way to go. Tired of convenience store coffee or whatever type of cheap coffee a hotel or store may offer, by bringing your own ground coffee, you simply just need to add water and you have yourself a fine cup of joe! The American Press is lightweight and simple to use. Even a knuckle dragger doesn't need instructions with the American Press - you simply open the bottom, pour in the grounds, add your hot water to the marked level, let it sit for a minute or two and then push the plunger all the way down. Voila - you have yourself a nice cup of fresh coffee.

Afterwards, it is extremely simple to wash and hand clean in a sink for your next use. Around the world, both in hotels and in airplanes, people have commented about how great the American Press is. Maybe the best part of owning an American Press is politely correcting people when the call it a French Press.

W. Orrego: This press is amazing. Easy to use and reliable. You will have magnificent coffee every time you used it. The flavor of coffee is way better than aero press and french press. It’s magical the way you see water transmutation into coffee. The american press extracts every single note your coffe could have. Simply fantastic and the cuatomer servuce is amazing.

Dean Buzzell: 8/31/2019 Update - Been using the device every single day, so I can comment a bit on how it holds up over extended heavy use. In a nutshell, it still works like the day it arrived from Amazon. I have noticed, though, that the filter screens are beginning to warp a bit - mostly the upper filter, where all the back-pressure is at, when you use a too-fine grind. Stick with a medium to medium-fine grind, and you won't have that issue. I also found a paper filter that works reasonably well. The AeroPress filters were OK, but were a bit of a pain to fit. I tried the Melita pod style filters - they actually work pretty well. They're a bit wider than this press, but it doesn't hurt anything, and it makes it easier to put the top on. I actually use a pair of scissors to trim around the barrel, but it isn't necessary.

The only complaint I have with this coffee brewer is that coffee gets into the seam between the metal outer ring and the black plastic insert in the lid and stays there. The next time I go to use the press, I've got cold, stale coffee leaking into my hand as I prepare to brew my next cup. It's not a BIG deal by any means, but it is rather annoying that when I pick up...
