☕ Coffee Studio 50 Oz French Press Review

Requires a gasket/rubber between cap and plunger as cap is loose and seems to break easily. While the pot itself is stylish, well made and I love the size, the dip and filter parts feel cheap and not fully functional. I haven't decided yet if I'll keep it, I expected more for the price.

All made of metal and ceramics, no cheap plastic. It's not durable but beautiful, looks great on my desk while I fill my mug and work, and makes plenty of coffee. The sieve is quite dense - do not grind the coffee too finely and stir it before pressing, otherwise the coffee spoils easily. It's everything I wanted, glad I found it cheaper than Macy's or Bed and Bath.

I've tried pretty much every plastic-free French press on Revain and sent them back with fatal flaws. This is an error, but I can work around it. The filter does not fit snugly in the carafe, so LOTS of coffee grounds get into the coffee when the coffee is poured. I solved this problem by pouring through a fine sieve. It's annoying but manageable. Also very very disappointed that it is made in China. I can try buying extra screens and see if that helps but the thing is there is too much space…
