Snow PeakTitanium French Press - Ultralight Coffee Maker for Camping, Backpacking & Hiking - Camping Cookware Essential for Coffee Anywhere

Great coffee. Switching from a Keurig, I doubt I can ever go back - I can’t believe the flavor difference and what I’ve been missing out on. Like others, I was concerned about the polyester filter - I simply removed it so it’s 100% metal, and I get little to no grounds in my coffee. It’s also super lightweight, so I can’t wait to take it on the trails with me!

I've been using this french press for over a month now and love it. It is small, lightweight, and seems to be hefty enough to withstand bumps and dings even though it is single wall titanium. I took the papery/mesh screen off of the normal metal screen and it seems to work just as fine. I read other reviews saying that additional silky screen allowed grounds to get through for whatever reason. I have had little to no grounds get through the filter so far. I mean, it is a french press, so it is inevitable but this one works really well for its size and quality of build. I am happy I bit the 60 dollar bullet and got it. I use it in my office everyday and it is super easy to tear apart and clean then dry which I do every time I use it to keep it in great condition. Eventually I will bring it on camping trips. I am nervous about squishing it in my normally overpacked backpacking bags. I did bring it to a wedding that I camped at with a ton of others and it was quite the conversation piece in the morning. Needless to say, your friends will be jealous.protip: After washing the container, blow through both handle housings to get excess water from sitting in there. I doubt it would rust or cause build up, by why take the chance?

I’ve used an all plastic bpa free GSI French press for years. And it has held up for years. I’ve been looking for a non plastic alternative not made in China. I realized soon after using this Japanese product that my previous coffee method imparted a plastic taste!I removed the polyester lining and although some larger bits of ground settle on my poured cup, there is less micro grounds than my GSI.This one checked all the boxes.

this is a great little French press, however the filter design is not very good. A few modifications could make this much better as the grounds have to be very coarse otherwise they flow through and around the edges of the filter. A little bit more R&D from the company as far as fitting a better stainless mesh filter without the plastic filter would be far superior, or just using the traditional style coiled spring steel to secure the filter since the rubber gasket they use gets gross and is hard to clean. EDIT: i ended up getting a different press due to the rubber gasket being hard to clean and not holding the filter in place as efficiently as a traditional style.

We have many French Presses this one works for us

I've been using this French press daily for the past several weeks. I typically make 2 cups at a time and use coursley ground coffee. This has worked great. There are a few small coffee grinds that get past the filter but I avoid them by not taking the last sip. Very light weight and I've taken it traveling with me, but not camping yet.

Well constructed and makes coffee. Nests inside the 550ml mug. Those complaining about grounds in their coffee have forgotten that they are camping. Hard to clean on the trail. You’re basically going to have coffee residue on the strainer until you get home again. There are far more compact methods to make coffee.Give time before shipping as it spent a week in customs while being shipped from Japan.

Lightweight. Makes a perfect cup of coffee for me on the trail. Very happy and I recommend this over the Stanley press and brew. Much more lightweight. But it does not make enough coffee for two people.
