Review on Coffee Gator French Press Coffee Maker: Insulated Stainless Steel Manual Brewer for Home & Camping - with Travel Canister - 4 Cup Serving, Large Size, Gray (34 fl oz) by Sander Savala

SHORT VERSION: Buy the damn thing. You will like it. EXTENDED VERSION: It all started when some idiot, me, hit something hard with a glass french press. No wonder the French press cracked and nothing solid. That led me to Revain in search of a replacement. Three things struck me: 1. French stainless steel presses dominate the positive reviews. It seems reasonable to conclude that either French metal presses work just fine, or I'm not the only sucker in Revane, or both. Reviewers of even competing top-rated French publications bemoaned possible rust. The Coffee Gator product is the only one that claims to be rust resistant. If that's true - time will tell - it likely means they're more generous with chrome in their stainless-chrome alloy than the competition. Pure stainless steel will rust sooner or later if you don't clean it carefully, dry it thoroughly and treat it if necessary. If, like me, you prefer to rinse and be done, anti-rust is the way to go.3. Complaints were few, but Coffee Gator showed a gleeful commitment to making customers happy with the process. I was sure I wouldn't risk trying their product. Gator showed up at my door four days ago. It does exactly what it is supposed to: prepare good coffee. And it doesn't crack when I run around the house and fuck it. Well I guess it isn't. There are still a few things in my house that I haven't tried in fucking. I will reach her. Some reviewers have complained that the metal body cools the coffee too much. My experience is the opposite. It keeps the coffee warmer than my glass block for a hell of a long time. Of course, physics dictate that heat be transferred from the liquid to the inner wall of the device, but that's pretty much all heat can get: the double-walled insulation keeps it right there, next to the coffee, keeping everything inside. nice and hot. As long as you don't keep an empty French Press in the fridge between uses, you're fine. (If you keep it in the fridge between uses, why on earth?) One reviewer complained about the sound the plunger makes against the inner wall when you push it down. All I can say is that this reviewer, who I'm sure is very nice, probably flinches at the sound of a light breeze blowing across the board.
