It is the perfect gift for coffee lovers. Its portability is an extra benefit along with the availability of a second cup. Planetary Design Commuter Double-Shot Stainless Steel French Press Mug, BlackThis is the very best of easy to use filter coffee makers for personal use. Every cup is perfect. I have been using it daily for years.
Anyways, I would recommend this. I am so attached to this thing that when I leave it at work I get that missing feeling. I find it excellent quality and I am pretty rough with it. I purchased this in pink and I get so many comments on it and when they see that it is a togo french press they ask where I bought it. I have to say that I am so pleased with my Double Shot French Press Mug. I use it everyday at home and at work. LOL Yes, I love my coffee.
the mug will keep the coffee hot for about an hour to an hour and a half in cold temperatures. however, i have used it many times as a french press and it makes some damn fine coffee. i use it everyday and it is awesome. i mainly use it as a regular mug. i also love the stash compartment underneath.
It even has a little compartment in the bottom for another serving of grounds. With a little Kelly Kettle or similar water-heating device, you're all set for cafe-quality java even when out in the sticks. The only thing that takes a little getting used to on this cup is that you have to throw in any sweetener and/or cream with the grounds BEFORE you put on the water, since you're going to be drinking it straight out of the press, so to speak, rather than pouring it into another cup once it's brewed as you would with a typical French press pitcer.I've been a big fan of a full-sized French press pitcher for a while, and this seems like just the thing for making a single-serving of it and taking it on the road. By the way, French press coffee tends to be more flavorful, robust, and fresh-tasting than what you get from conventional drip machines. We'll see how it stands up over the long haul, but so far it's doing great. I've seen several different types of single-serving, self-contained French press coffee mugs on the market, and this one looks like by far the best-made of the ones I've seen. It works just like a full-sized French press -- you throw in your (coarse) coffee grounds, splash on some not-quite-boiling water, wait a few minutes, "press" the coffee grounds down to the bottom of the container, and presto -- you've got fresh-brewed coffee. It will definitely come in handy for camping and fishing trips.
I loved the IDEA of a coffee press and had purchased a less expensive option from a local store and always ended up chewing the last bit of my coffee. I even took it on vacation with relatives who like colored water that they call coffee and for ONCE, I didn't care.
I'm planning to buy some as Christmas gifts for my friends who like fresh coffees and herb teas. It fits well in my van's adjustable cup holder and I've never had a problem with it spilling.
I had MY coffee the way I liked it every time. Love Love Love this mug.
Okay so. I've had the Planetary Designs Mug Press (Iris, WHAT A COLOR) for a month now and have used it EVERY day with nary a chewy bit.
The well is deep enough in the lid that as long as you're not filling it so that coffee comes up through the spout, there shouldn't be a problem with overflow.
