Review on ☕ Hario Olive Wood Coffee and Tea Press: 600ml Brewing Perfection by Crystal Keenan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Elegant with a well-designed filter - but the wooden finish is showing some wear

This Hario French Press has a 600ml capacity (note that the 'coffee cup' is smaller than a standard cup). The strainer is thinner than cheaper counterparts, preventing small coffee grounds from getting into the cup. On other presses, the screen often has sharp edges with metal wires protruding, making washing difficult. The Hario mesh is smoother around the edges. I love the design of this press. Wood details, as well as smooth metal, set it apart from many others. After a few washes, however, the wood paneling began to wear out. It seems that the drawing on the tree was applied with paint. This wear can possibly be avoided by carefully rinsing the press.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Neutral
