Review on ☕ Stainless Steel Insulated Travel Mug - KOHIPRESS French Press Coffee Maker, 12 oz. Ideal for Kitchen, Office, or Camping Use. Full Immersion Steep with Grounds Filter for Hot/Cold Brew by Bob Taylor

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Almost amazing in coffee makers

I want to give this product a good review just because it is a good idea and some thought went into the design. However 2 stars for the three main cons (pros will be lower)1. Doesn't keep warm long enough. I'm used to a double-walled glass that keeps coffee hot for hours. Yesterday I brewed coffee with boiling water, squeezed it, closed it and after 1.5 hours I went to drink. It was warm enough to get through but I'm used to it being pretty hot at this point. 2. The drinking machine is designed for a small face! It feels like I'm drinking from a toy mug and the flip top catches my nose as I drink. Really inconvenient 3. About 4 ounces of good coffee is thrown away every time you make a cup. It says 12 ounces, but only about 8 of those are drinkable, and the bottom third of the jar contains coffee grounds, which you can't get unless you take the thing apart to clean it. The french press filter goes to the bottom with some liquid but not 1/3! That note alone is a turning point for me. On the plus side it makes good coffee and the idea behind it is really good. The coffee doesn't get stronger, which is probably a good thing for some people. Also, the base is thin enough to fit in car cup holders, which is great.
