The Best Stainless Steel French Press

This stainless steel French press earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it made superior coffee and retained heat longer than any other model. Panelists lauded The Best Stainless Steel French Press for making "smooth tasting" coffee, unlike lesser models' coffee that tasted "very grainy and bitter" or "weak and bland." The Best model's dual-wall design and vacuum insulation allowed hot water to cool by only 9º F in 30 minutes, far superior to lesser models that lost 29º F. The Best Stainless Steel French Press's plunger descended smoothly without any resistance and its spout filter kept all coffee grounds inside the French press. The Best model did not show any damage after being dropped or when its handle was loaded with three times its carried weight for one minute. 34-oz. capacity. 9" H x 4 1/4" Diam. (1 3/4 lbs.)
