French Press 1 Litre/8 Cup Cafetiere Black Coffee Press Double Wall Stainless Steel Coffee Maker and Tea Maker with Rose Gold Metal Lid and Extra Replacement Filter Mesh Coaster Mat

Generally I like this cafetiere very much, the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is the capacity is not as stated.I bought the 1.5L 12 cup version expecting to be able to make 1.5L of coffee, not a reasonable assumption you would of thought. Alas the capacity may be 1.5L when brimmed to the point just before water comes out of spout (I checked it), but usable it is really 1125ml. (Or perhaps 1250ml if filled to the level the lid can still just go on without overflowing, but this risks overflowing hot coffee if you are not very careful.)One of the pictures shows an arrow on the lid (to turn the lid to when pouring), this cafetiere does not have this, but this is not such a big deal in practice. You can see when looking through the pouring spout where to turn it. The lid is not a tight seal, so it still pours if you don't turn it, just not as quickly.I have had it about a week now and and otherwise I find the cafetiere is brilliant. It looks to be well made with a good polished finish. I find it far easier to clean then my old glass one.Heat retention wise I tested it. With the pot starting at room temperature (19 deg C), I filled it with 1125ml of boiling water and measured the temperature over the next few hours.Time - Temp (deg C)1 min - 93.730 mins - 87.11 hour - 78.42 hour - 66.73 hour - 58.76 hour - 42.7Touching the cafetiere once the coffee has been in it for a while, it is clear the temperature is hotter at the top of the pot than the bottom. I conclude the vacuum is doing its job (it also sounds as I would expect when tapping the pot if there was a vacuum between the inner and outer wall). I cant say this about the lid though. It seems to me the lid may not have a vacuum. The lid is sealed though, submerging it when cleaning it there is no evidence of any water ingress.Hope this is of help.Enjoy your brew ...

Does exactly what it is designed for.....and no drips. Looks good, cool wall, hot coffee - all good.For those who think that it is too much money for a French Press, just think how many glass ones you will break over the lifetime of this one.......If I had bought one of these 20 years ago, I'd have saved its price at least twice, given the number of £6 cheapies I've broken.

I love fresh coffee in the mornings and this is the perfect size for a single mug. Being stainless steel it's not going to shatter if the cat knocks it off the worktop (blaming the cat instead of my clumsiness!) and being double-walled I'm hoping it will keep warm if I'm delayed in pouring it – though be aware that this is not advertised as a vacuum/insulated flask so don't expect it to act as one. It certainly means that the walls aren't hot to handle after pouring in the hot water from the kettle, a bonus that I won't burn myself touching it.It makes nice coffee and once depressed the filter holds the grounds in place so they don't end up in the cup. It pours easily and, as you can see in my video, has a non-drip spout. I definitely prefer this one to my traditional glass cafetière, both ease of use and good looks!It's very simple to clean, just empty the grinds, rinse out the loose bits and pop it in the dishwasher. It also comes with spare filter screens, adding to its longevity.Coffee grounds can be disposed of in food recycling or composting, and are great as soil drainage, especially when used in soil for plant pots. They also make a good abrasive scourer for cleaning :)

This is a fantastic coffee press. It is constructed of heavy gauge stainless steel. This is much better than the glass one i had. I can get 4 good sized cups of coffee from this. I highly recommend this item

Very pleased with this purchase.Decided to buy this after the glass broke on my latest cheap cafetiere.The Miuly is stainless steel & it is solidly built with all metal edgesnicely finished. It has a double wall to retain heat - the outside feelsonly slightly warm in use - so it is not losing much heat at all.Its very easy to keep clean - nothing gets stained - unlike the plasticparts on a cheap item. The plunger has an arrow on the top - point it awayfrom the spout to keep the heat in while brewing & then turn it round tothe spout for pouring.Mine came with 5 spare filter meshes which is a bonus.The mesh fits very snugly inside the pot & seems strong - it hasn'tdeformed at all so far.The inside of the pot has liquid quantity indications - but this doesn't workfor me as it is difficult to see them when pouring steaming water into it.No problem though, because my mugs take about 300ml - so I just boil exactlythe amount I need & just pour it straight in.
