Secura French Press Coffee Maker, 50-Ounce, 304 Stainless Steel Insulated Coffee Press with Extra Screen

I love this coffee press! It’s easy to clean: I put a little dish soap in the press with water and use the filter press to froth it, rinse well and wipe down the inside of the lid and outside, super simple. It looks nice, the handle stays cool, it’s comfortable to pour and hold, I love that I can make whatever size pot I want easily, the taste isn’t effected, I’ve never had any leaking/dripping, it feels solid and durable, it keeps coffee hot for a good long while. Once I came back a few hours later and the coffee was still warm - not piping hot, but almost hot enough to not want to reheat. Mine did come with the extra filter - I saw a star knocked off someone’s review for that so I’m guessing it was a mistake they didn't get the filter. I love this press!

I appreciate that no grounds come through the mesh strainers when pouring, unless you fill past the pour spout (Do not buy Stanley French press).We get about 4 mugs of coffee or 2 mugs and a thermos (w/creamer).Pours smoothly. Overall I am haply with this purchase.

I spent hours researching coffee makers that didn't have microplastic exposure. Unfortunately, even automatic coffee makers advertised as stainless steel have lots of plastic components. This is a great, simple alternative.Initially French press scared me off because numerous blog posts made it sound complicated/time-consuming to make, and I'm in a hurry during my morning routine. But if you just follow the provided instructions, this is an easy, tasty option: 5s to grind beans, 5-10s to stir with hot water, put the lid on, let sit for 4-5 mins, press and pour. I can barely make scrambled eggs and nailed this on my first try. No plastic components, and it's a breeze to rinse off.I would definitely go for the 50 oz. size if you're going to make more than one cup of coffee; it's not that big and isn't hard to manipulate. Even if you have to buy an electronic kettle/water heater, you're still spending ~half of what you would on a decent automatic maker too.

As I'm typing this review I'm having a coffee from my French Press Coffee Maker! Coffee tastes so much better with the French Press. Also made of Stainless Steel which is very safe.

Great for larger volume brews. Set 'em up and coffee for the crew.

I bought this to replace my 51oz Bodum (the top of the plunger separated after years of use. I do like it is made completely of metal (no plastic), although I was afraid the sound of metal on metal would be annoying. As long as you plunge it slowly, it’s ok. My husband always felt the filter on the Bodum let too much grit through. This one doesn’t seem to as much. It still keeps the coffee warm for hours too. It was also 1/2 the price of the Bodum.

Been using my new coffee makers for a few weeks and I am very pleased with them. Yum, there's nothing like a good cup of coffee. My eight year old Cuisinart automatic drip with thermal carafe was failing so I started researching auto drip coffee makers. My old machine was the Cuisinart that had a built in coffee grinder however I had given up grinding the beans with the machine after a few months of using it because for some reason I'd find the brewed coffee had overflowed all over the counter, cabinets and floor and I'd have a huge mess to clean up. It had something to do with the grinder and didn't happen every time but I dreaded it so when I stopped using the grinder it never overflowed again. While checking the reviews for every auto drip with thermal carafe I could find, that was the first thing I looked for and sure enough many people complained about this happening to them due to some stupid design flaw. It seems most of them had this problem so they were eliminated from consideration. That pretty much left one Zojirushi machine but it's expensive and it had other problems that made me hesitate. So I kept looking. It took weeks and I figured if my Cuisinart stopped working I'd just live with instant because I couldn't make up my mind. It was so frustrating.I looked into presses too but it was so hard to decide due to the problems people pointed out in the reviews. I finally decided against a glass press because somebody said theirs exploded while pressing down on the plunger giving them third degree burns. Even the remotest possibility of this happening to me was enough to say nope. So based on the 1500 ml size and the great reviews I finally decided on this press. Just in case, I also bought a 10 cup Melitta manual drip coffee maker thinking that I might not like something about the press like the cleaning of it or whatever.I love the coffee press! I finally have the recipe and technique down and it makes delicious coffee. I got rid of my old Cuisinart grinder and bought the Cuisinart burr grinder. I set it for the largest grind and dump it on a piece of wax paper. When the water boils I immediately pour it into the empty pot and let it sit there for a minute to heat up the pot. I pour the water back into the electric kettle and test the water temp. Doing that cools the water to about 200 degrees. I pour the ground coffee into the pot, start the timer for five minutes, pour in the water, wait 30 to 45 seconds and stir it. Then finish steeping and plunge. I immediately pour the cups and put the rest of the coffee in a vacuum carafe. It's fast and easy to make. As far as the clean up it's not as daunting as I thought it would be. I don't like to waste water so I heat up some in the microwave. Meanwhile I rinse the plunger mechanism under the faucet to get off as many grounds as possible. I take it apart and put the pieces in a small bowl in the sink. The long plunger/lid piece is rinsed and dried. I dump the grounds out of the pot into the trash and wipe the rest out with a paper towel. I pour the hot water into the bowl and the pot and add dish liquid. After washing I rinse and dry all the components and set the plunger pieces on the windowsill to dry more thoroughly. I haven't timed it but I would say the whole clean up process takes about five or six minutes.As for the Melitta, it makes great coffee too. I set the grinder in the middle between fine and medium. I've found the actual coffee making process to be more time consuming than the press because you have to be standing there pouring the water into the filter and it takes about ten minutes. I tend to get distracted if I walk away to do something else and can forget to come back to pour more water in. On the other hand however, the cleanup is much easier. The cone and lid go in the dishwasher and I simply wash and dry the pot by hand. I like that my hand fits inside to clean it. I also like that the lid comes apart for thorough cleaning. That is something that always bugged me about the Cuisinart, the thought of all that crud building up inside the lid is gross. I even called them once to complain about that. I'm so glad to be rid of it.In conclusion, the press is faster and easier to make coffee but more time consuming to clean up. The Melitta manual drip is more time consuming to make the coffee but a snap to clean up. Also, the Melitta makes a little bit more coffee than the press. Each method is worth the time and effort for the great coffee they produce. Additionally, both units were very inexpensive and they should last for years without any disgusting muck building up inside that's impossible to clean.

I bought this French press after the glass one I was using fell off the edge of my kitchen counter and shattered. This one has a robust stainless steel heft to it for its size. Next time this slides off the counter, it’s the floor that’s gonna probably get a dent first! It came with a spare filter mesh, though honestly, I never swapped this out in my last French press that I had for at least two years, but it’s great they included A spare..Keep in mind the 17 fluid ounce capacity that I bought is the total volume capacity; consider using 14 or 15 ounces of water so it doesn’t overflow when you put the plunger in. I personally miscalculated the capacity of my last French press when I got the 17 ounce version; I’ll be getting the 1 quart/1 L sized version for my daily bruise, I’m gonna keep the smaller one too. it’ll come in handy with recipes that call for strained liquids without the need for a coffee filter.I can’t comment yet on its insular properties; My first batch just barely filled my coffee tumbler. But I’ll revise here if I get bored and See how long it takes for it’s contents to go from boiling to room temperature.
