Review on Snow Peak - Sustainable Ultralight Titanium French Press CS-111 - Japanese-Made for Backpacking and Camping Coffee by Jermaine Chowdhury

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unique product with good value for money

I've been using this French Press for over a month now and absolutely love it. It's small, light, and feels solid enough to withstand bumps and dents despite being made of single-wall titanium. I removed the paper/mesh screen from a regular metal screen and it seems to work just as well. I've read other reviews that said the extra silky screen lets the bases through for some reason. So far I've had almost no reason to go through the filter. I mean it's a French press so it's inevitable but this one works very well for its size and build quality. I'm glad I bit the $60 ball and got it. I use it every day in my office and it's very easy to take apart and clean and then dry which I do every time I use it to keep it in top condition. I'll end up taking it on camping trips. I'm nervous about squashing it in my usually overstuffed travel bags. I took it to a wedding where I was camping with some other people and it became the talk of the morning. Needless to say, your friends will be jealous. Tip: After washing the container, blow out both handle bodies to remove excess water from them. I doubt it will rust or cause buildup, why take the risk?

Pros
