PRESSE by Bobble French Coffee Press And Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler for On-The-Go Brewing - 13 oz (Black)

This is an amazing item to me. I assume most people use it for travel, or just now and then. This is my main coffee-maker, and has been for more than 2 years. I lost my first one and replaced it. After over a year with this one, it is just like brand new. I live alone and so I'm only making coffee for myself everyday. And thus don't need a pot full. I only drink one of these a day. When I have company it is very easy to rinse it out and make another. I am kind of an odd duck when it comes to coffee, and I doubt anyone reading this would use it like I do. But I grind really good beans fresh and put them in main piece, of course. I fill it up with hot water about 2/3s of the way and use a long-handled ice tea spoon to gently push down and stir in the grounds that float to the surface. Then I finish filling up the container and stir the surface again. Then I put the plunger in place and push down until I see a little crema coming through the filter. After 7 or so minutes I know most everyone pushes the plunger all the way down just like a French press. But I like strong coffee and don't mind the water sitting on the grounds longer. I usually let it steep for 10 minutes and then push it down enough to pour a half a cup of coffee. It seems a little strange to pour it with the plunger still up in the air, but it doesn't leak. SO...the rest of the coffee stays warm and I drink some, push it down more, and drink, etc. it doesn't seem to me to get that much stronger or bitter, but that's just me. When finished, it is super easy to clean. And the filter unscrews, but I rarely take it all apart. I just rinse it with hot water and a bottle brush and after all this time it doesn't stain, or get any build-up. Happy caffeination!

Both sizes of these coffee presses are fantastic. I bought one of the taller thinner ones a few years back, and loved it. Decided to get this shorter fatter one just in case something happened to the other one: I couldn't live without one! I am OLD, and I have gone through every different type of coffee maker in the world, I think, including really pricey pump-handle espresso makers. I had long ago settled on French Presses, even though they were kind of a hassle to clean. Then I saw a video about these Presse thingies, and decided to give them a try. Fantastic. All the best qualities of a french press, but extremely easy to clean, and indestructible. The filter holes are so small that nothing but the coffee gets through. I now like the shorter/fatter one better: larger diameter filter makes it easier and quicker to press down. I brew the coffee, press down the filter, and then pour into a real cup (so I don't use the silicone top thingie, though that DOES work ok, if that's what you want) One trick I learned early: after you pour out the coffee (or finish drinking from the Presse), add some water to the Presse and pull the filter up away from the grounds until you can rinse well, to prevent the coffee ground goo from clogging the filter holes.

This cup works great! 😊 easy to use, easy to clean, keeps warm…only drawback, it leaks if spilled as it has 3 tiny air holes in the lid. Very nice color!

Love the portable press from Bobble. Several brews a day can start to seem tedious, but this is just a clash of portability-convenience, and brewing to spec. Well made, easy to use, and easy to clean. I’ve had no issues with leaking, and the grounds stay entirely out of your beverage. The Bobble Slim has decent capacity. The volume is a little more than that of a standard coffee mug. -It fits in any cup holder whether it’s your car, or a stroller. It’s certainly not a mega jug. If we’re calling it a complaint, my only gripe is that this portable french press, very effectively keeps temperature. Hours later and you may find that it is still rather hot. Absolutely worth the price, happy with my purchase. For me it was one of those purchases where after trying, I immediately found myself in ‘This would be a perfect gift for ___’ mode.

On a recent trip I finally 'had it' with bad hotel coffee, buying an overpriced (and overly roasted and burnt tasting) cup from the local Starbucks, or dealing with an unsatisfying and inconsistent cup of coffee from the whatever is in the hotel room. I've tried a few things - something called a Clever Dripper (too bulky), something else called a Primula Brew Buddy, yet another drip idea called Munieq Tetra Portable Coffee Drip, and then figured I would try to find a french press for travel (this is how I make coffee at home). This Presse unit fits my needs perfectly. • The container you press the coffee in serves as a handy mug • The plunger does not contain a rod running down the middle - opening up storage space • The silicone seal around the cylindrical plunger seals nicely • The bottom filter isn't plastic or nylon mesh, but rather a nice steel unit that screws in (thus replaceable) • This filter could be used as a measuring device (but I don't need to do this, I measure the coffee differently) • The silicone lid works well enough (but don't depend on it to be leakproof) I purchased a hand-held grinder (a relatively expensive one called a Porlex, less expensive ones with a similar design are available), as well as immersion heater. The Porlex (minus its handle) fits nicely inside the Presse, with the immersion device and a baggie of beans (with a measuring spoon and Porlex handle) I've got a self-contained and perfect brew that doesn't take up much space. I can see one downside to this design, there is residual coffee that sits underneath the metal filter unit that does not 'dispense' to the upper main area (where you drink from). I have to take the plunger out, and pour about 1/4 cup of coffee / grounds away. The silicone seal is really tight, likely causing a kind of vacuum that keeps the liquid in the bottom to the height of the filter unit. I didn't make the maximum amounts of coffee - for my trial runs this morning, only a few typical amounts (two tablespoons of beans or about 2.5 tablespoons of grounds and about 3/4 to the top of the Presse container. I'll continue playing around with how I deal with that 1/4 cup of grounds + coffee - likely it'll just go down the drain. The unit is easy to clean, very sturdy and you don't have to feel like it's fragile. I love the finish - it's as if it is anodized metal with a clear coating on it that is attractive and comfortable to hold. I am looking forward to my next trip where I can get fresh coffee no matter where I am, with the same whole beans I use at home, without a lot of fuss (nor wasted space nor the hassle paper filters). The photos are my entire travel-friendly setup - the Presse french press, the Porlex manual burr coffee grinder, a dual-voltage immersion heater (complete with custom red holder I made with some thick wire I had lying around to accommodate the Presse) and the sandwich baggie of beans that also holds the Porlex handle and spoon. All in all I spent something like $100 for this and am so happy about it I decided to write a review. (I haven't written a review in many years.)

Love these bobble coffee makers. We use them all the time. My only criticism of them is that spare rubber parts cannot be found . The makers could last years if these spares were made. This is the main reason we have purchased more of this product.

So simple and effective, If you take coffee as seriously as I do then you will love this!! No grinds and this baby keeps your coffee HOT for hrs which means no more reheating in the microwave! The silicone lid is a nice alternative to standard travel mug lids- which i dont love tbh and the stainless is sleek and super easy to clean! I would highly recommend this travel press!

Eco friendly. I no longer buy coffee in the mornings. Durable. Easy to clean

Great coffee press makes a good coffee and can be used as an insulated drinking cup.
