POLIVIAR French Press Coffee Maker, 34 oz Coffee Press with Real Wood Handle, Double Wall Insulation & Dual-Filter Screen, Food Grade Stainless Steel for Good Coffe and Tea (Flatland)

Stays hot, Handsome materials, Good Filters
After breaking my 5th glass french press carafe in the last 2 years, I decided to try this stainless steel press.I’ve been using it daily for the past 3 weeks. It has exceeded my expectations!I pour in just-boiled water to make coffee or tea. Even after 30 minutes, my beverage is hot. Some heat is lost through the lid, but not through the sides (they are not hot to the touch; the lid will be warm to the touch). You can cover the lid with a rag or small tower to keep the heat lasting even longer. Prior to this press, I used standard glass carafes and would wrap them in a kitchen towel to keep them from cooling down. This press eliminates that need and performs well.The wooden handle and material look as handsome as in the pictures. It feels sturdy yet looks elegant. The wooden handle is bolted on well and is secured flush against the carafe; there are no unusual crevices or spaces where gunk might accumulate over time from washing. After daily hand washing, the wooden parts seem to hold up well and dry reasonably quickly.The metal screens screw together nicely and are comparable in quality to a Bodum french press, perhaps even a little better due to the dual mesh screen.The inside liter/oz markings are easy to read and have not faded after 3 weeks of hand-washing and use.This press seems like it will last for years. It is great, both aesthetically and functionally.

Mmmm coffee!
I use this daily for my coffee; best press I’ve had!Stylish, stainless, and rugged!

Durable, great quality
Easy to use and clean. This keeps our coffee warm for hours, and it also has lasted well through many washes without damage to the filters or the outside of the french press, which I suspected might scratch easily… but it does not.

Great but a few issues
We decided to ditch our do-everything frothing, five different levels of coffee-making, automatic drip coffee after it kept giving us trouble for the past year and we spent nearly $200 on it three years ago. We had a small glass French press and decided to get something bigger and insulated. This green one with the wooden handle was so pretty, slightly retro but modern look and has good reviews.So my issues are it doesn’t really keep it hot for as long as I would like. I fill it with boiling water and let it sit while I grind the coffee which takes several minutes since it’s a manual grinder. Then I put the coffee grounds in and add new, nearly boiling water. We’re not having any any trouble with grounds in the water. We pour 2 cups after about eight minutes. The other 2 cups are pretty warm but not really hot a half hour later.The next issue is that there is a hole where a screw went in, in the underside of the upper part of the handle so whenever you’re holding it, your index finger presses into that hole and it is uncomfortable. Not a dealbreaker, but if they could’ve just filled the hole with wood filler, which is what we’ll probably do if I don’t send this back because of the other bigger problem.The bigger problem is that the wooden handle at the top of the plunger gets loose really easily so when I screw it on a little tighter it just goes through the top. I cannot unscrew the bottom part to clean it. The first few times it was fine but now the bottom won’t come apart and the top is loose and the metal rod has come up through the wooden plunger handle. I really, really wanted to love this but it’s only 2 weeks old and it’s not holding up.

Love the looks of this press! Coffee is great and the pot is sturdy. After breaking so many glass carafes I will never go back. The coating has cracked and is falling off. Back to the drawing board will look for one without a coating.

今までありそうでなかった断熱型器具でデザインも色も選択肢が多く満足しています。ただ予めお湯にてポットを温めた後の内側のステンレス臭が未だに取れないのが気になります。

This is actually a good, solid product… would recommend.Works well, keeps coffee warm, easy to clean and an example of good design and quality materials.
