Review on GSI Outdoors Graphite French Press Coffee Mug, 30 Fl Oz JavaPress - Superior Backcountry Cookware Since 1985 by Mark Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for home use, not travel

PROS: Large size - I like coffee that lasts all morning. Simple and stylish - few details, easy to use and clean. The flexible handle loop is great for putting in the side pocket of my SixPack lunch box. Can be used as a mug - no need to buy a separate mug as you can just drink from the spout. CONS: The lid is NOT airtight. Tilt this french press far enough and it will leak even with the lid closed! This is a terrible design flaw as this thing won't fit in your cup holder. So when you drive or walk, keep it up. The strap is practically useless in this case. You can't hold it by the strap until it tilts far enough to spill.

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
