Snow PeakTitanium French Press - Ultralight Coffee Maker for Camping, Backpacking & Hiking - Camping Cookware Essential for Coffee Anywhere

I've been using this french press for over a month now and love it. It is small, lightweight, and seems to be hefty enough to withstand bumps and dings even though it is single wall titanium. I took the papery/mesh screen off of the normal metal screen and it seems to work just as fine. I read other reviews saying that additional silky screen allowed grounds to get through for whatever reason. I have had little to no grounds get through the filter so far. I mean, it is a french press, so it is inevitable but this one works really well for its size and quality of build. I am happy I bit the 60 dollar bullet and got it. I use it in my office everyday and it is super easy to tear apart and clean then dry which I do every time I use it to keep it in great condition. Eventually I will bring it on camping trips. I am nervous about squishing it in my normally overpacked backpacking bags. I did bring it to a wedding that I camped at with a ton of others and it was quite the conversation piece in the morning. Needless to say, your friends will be jealous.protip: After washing the container, blow through both handle housings to get excess water from sitting in there. I doubt it would rust or cause build up, by why take the chance?

Lightweight. Makes a perfect cup of coffee for me on the trail. Very happy and I recommend this over the Stanley press and brew. Much more lightweight. But it does not make enough coffee for two people.

We have many French Presses this one works for us

I’ve used an all plastic bpa free GSI French press for years. And it has held up for years. I’ve been looking for a non plastic alternative not made in China. I realized soon after using this Japanese product that my previous coffee method imparted a plastic taste!I removed the polyester lining and although some larger bits of ground settle on my poured cup, there is less micro grounds than my GSI.This one checked all the boxes.

this is a great little French press, however the filter design is not very good. A few modifications could make this much better as the grounds have to be very coarse otherwise they flow through and around the edges of the filter. A little bit more R&D from the company as far as fitting a better stainless mesh filter without the plastic filter would be far superior, or just using the traditional style coiled spring steel to secure the filter since the rubber gasket they use gets gross and is hard to clean. EDIT: i ended up getting a different press due to the rubber gasket being hard to clean and not holding the filter in place as efficiently as a traditional style.

I was excited to find a coffee press that was so compact and lightweight; unfortunately, this has a silicone piece, instead of the typical metal spring, that I did not notice before receiving the product (you can see it in the photos provided by Amazon). It is fused with the metal bottom of the press, so it cannot be removed.

My verdict: Snow Peak.Weight: Snow Peak is lighterEasiness to use: Snow Peak. AeroPress needs to press over a cup.Hygiene: AeroPress. Upgraded the filter to stainless steel mesh (indestructible and easy to clean)Snow Peak, probably cannot change the pvc mesh. (Would be awesome if Snow Peak improve the mesh to a stainless steel or titanium)Price: AeroPress is more affordable.Travel: Snow Peak, easier to carry around while traveling.

Not sure how everybody here can give such high reviews for this product.I just received my copy yesterday and, have since made 6 cups of coffee trying to get a clean cup of coffee.Each and every cup is full of coffee grinds to the point where you can see them floating in the coffee after you pour it out.I own other presses and at a much cheaper cost that give a far superior result then this product does, I was drawn to purchase this one for its size and portability, but after getting such terrible results from this product I can not give it even one star. Although I have to in order to post this reviewPlus, who ever heard of a cup of coffee being 5.4 oz? An American cup of coffee is 8 oz's so as you may guess, this things is marked incorrectly as well.Not a good product at all.With that being said I can't see myself purchasing anything from this company ever again
