Primula PCP-2906 6-Cup Coffee Press, Black
Product Description
A French press consists of a narrow cylindrical jug usually made of glass or clear plastic, equipped with a lid and a plunger, made of metal or plastic, which fits tightly in the cylinder and which has a fine wire or nylon mesh acting as a filter. Coffee is brewed by placing the coffee and water together, leaving to brew for a few minutes, then depressing the plunger to trap the coffee grinds at the bottom of the jug. A French press requires coffee of a more coarse grind than that used for a drip brew coffee filter, such as produced by a burr mill grinder rather than the whirling blade variety, as a finer grind will seep through the press filter and into the coffee. Because the coffee grounds remain in direct contact with the brewing water and the grinds are filtered from the water via a mesh instead of a paper filter, coffee brewed with the French press captures more of the coffee's flavour and essential oils, which would become trapped in a traditional drip brew machine's paper filters. French pressed coffee is usually stronger and thicker and has more sediment than drip-brewed coffee.

Glass container. Check. Stainless steel filter and plunger. Check. Nylon enclosures. Check. Why pay 3 times more for the same product?

A friend recommended I try a French Press and based on the reviews and not wanting to spend a lot, I got this one. Wow! This thing is perfect. Extremely simply to use. Sturdy construction. Works like a charm. GREAT coffee. I will never go back to the pot, and don’t waste your money buying more expensive Presses. This one rocks!

I bought this skeptical of the very low price compared to others – as of this time, it’s $10 when other coffee presses of this type are going for $20-40. Note that the “cup” of coffee referred to is 4oz, so if you’re like me the 6 cups is actually about 24 oz or one cup (ok 2, but I don’t have just one).
The glass has already sustained a drop, the pieces come apart easily to clean, and…and it’s only $10! I’m buying another for my partner – I highly recommend this for the price. No downside detected yet.

After drinking more bad coffee than should be allowed at the advertising agency I work (those disposable plastic thingies) I sprung for this coffee press and haven’t looked back since. Not my first press but the others broke too often, this one seems a lot more durable and makes two large cups of coffee (not sure where the 6 comes from). I get my coffee ground for filters since I like it strong and just wait a little longer for the “mud” to settle. For those unaccustomed to the heavier texture of the coffee from a press it takes some getting used to but I gotta say, this stuff rocks!

This is a good solid coffee press. It makes coffee. It seperates the coffee from the grounds. It is big enough for me to fill up my 24oz travel mug in the morning and still have a little left for the missus. Simply effective. Easy to clean. If you want something more from a coffee press you don’t understand coffee presses. It makes coffe or tea depending on what you put into it.
