☕ Hario Olive Wood Coffee and Tea Press: 600ml Brewing Perfection Review

This press is amazing and works as it should! With the coffee at the bottom of the press, it makes enough for two full 8-ounce coffees.

I bought the 300ml version of this coffee maker and it only fills my monster coffee mug half full. But it is really beautiful and very high quality. I would recommend the 600ml version for most people.

Looks nice and works but the spout broke after a short use. It will probably break completely soon. The price of this one is too high to break so easily. We never rubbed it or bumped it into anything, it just accidentally jumped. The other Hario glass I've used was much stronger, washed, beaten and abused and looks just as good as the day I bought it. Maybe I got a defective one.

I have a wide range of coffee brewing systems including other French Press (FPS). I make one cup at a time (300ml) which is why I bought this press.

The forest is beautiful. Glass appears brittle and breaks easily; and unless the press is on a stable/flat surface it will fall off, which has happened a…

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…

Wood warps despite careful hand washing and drying. The lid no longer fits the rim of the carafe and must be held firmly to prevent it from slipping off the carafe. Even if you hold the lid, your coffee will slosh over the edges. I would like to hear how the manufacturer justifies this product disaster. Previous rating: Here you can choose between 1 and 2 stars. I gave an extra star because the end product - the coffee - is pretty good. The mesh on the mesh is thin enough to filter out the…
