Veken French Press Coffee Maker: Double-Wall 304 Stainless Steel for Deliciously Rich Coffee Flavor

Jude: I bought this exactly one year ago and have used it every day since. The coffee tastes great. The press is as easy to use & clean as any French press. I have 2 large mugs of coffee in the morning & this keeps the coffee hot so I can enjoy the second mug as much as the first.

Boston Mom: I have purchased many of these. I own two personally, in different houses. I've given several as gifts. They are superb.

If you've owned a glass french press, you know the sorrow of a broken beaker and spoiled pot of coffee (usually at the point of the day at which you are least capable of dealingl with this, before you've had your first cup). You also know that you have to drink your coffee FAST before the pot gets cold. If you haven't owned a glass french press, and are a first-time buyer of a press, I advise that you skip this step.

This press mitigates both issues of breakage and temperature. First, stainless steel doesn't smash. Second, the double-walled construction keeps the coffee hot and drinkable much longer. The only way this doesn't exceed a glass press is that the stainless steel does hold on to more of the oil from the coffee, so it takes a tiny bit more effort to clean. Negligible, but looking to provide a balanced perspective.

A really attractive feature is the materials used in construction. Lots of french presses have plastic parts on the plunger. This is all stainless. No leaching of plastic components, a particular concern with boiling (or...

Phaedra Bonewits: After breaking yet another glass coffeemaker carafe I decided to go full time to a french press. Of course, the one I already owned was glass, so I decided to upgrade to a metal press. I wanted one that would hold the heat because my biggest issue with french presses in general is that after the first pour, subsequent cups have cooled down too much.

After much shopping, I decided on this one which, by the way, cost the same as replacing the carafe for my fancy drip coffeemaker. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and I am very pleased with my choice. I have the 1L in black. It looks very nice, which is a plus in my tiny kitchen where it will be sitting out all day. I like the double-screen filter which I thought at first was unnecessary but I like the results. I am inordinately fond of the dedicated wooden spoon, which again I thought was superfluous but I really like it.

My only complaint is that when I am holding the kettle in my right hand, I can't hold the press handle in my left hand because the measurement marks on the inside are only on one side. The handle has to be to the right to see them.

I knew the coffee I had at home was off-the-shelf grind, so...
