BruTrek by Planetary Design | BaseCamp French Press | 48 fl.oz - Obsidian

I am in my 50’s and have been a big outdoorsman and coffee drinker for most of my life. I have gone through many pots and drink ware designed for travel and the outdoors over the years. I’m very familiar with products that say they are “designed” for outdoor use, quality, and longevity. This product actually performs as advertised. I have made several pots of coffee already and I am extremely pleased. Makes excellent tasting coffee and keeps it hot for a long time. Easy to clean up! This item is perfect for camping, backpacking, or just using at home everyday. The pot is rugged, high quality construction, that will withstand years of outdoor use. It’s my new go to daily coffee maker from now on! In addition, the pot is designed in the beautiful state of Montana by folks who know about living in the outdoors. What more could you ask for?! THANK YOU BruTrek!

Use every day. Wish it wasn’t so hard to push down always afraid it will exploded out the top. Only happened once. Keeps coffee hot all day.

This was a great gift and has been very well received. The coffee press feels extremely durable thanks to the stainless steel construction, and the double-wall insulation does a nice job of keeping coffee hot. The design is sleek and practical, and the Bru-Stop system makes it easy to brew without over-extraction. Overall, it’s simple to use, well made, and a solid choice for everyday use or outdoor adventures.

Really big. I love it. works as well as any press system does. Keeps coffee warm. Glass presses lose so much heat. this does not. I use mine camping and the cold mornings zap the heat. this keeps the coffee warm. I bought the bigger size.

The press is well-made, durable, keeps the coffee reasonably hot for quite a while. My rating is specific to a couple things. The screw-on top does not naturally fall into the grooves, so it takes a bit of effort to get things lined up. Then the plunger seal is so tight (which I thought would be a good thing at first) I could not plunge it without leaning my entire weight on it, and that will eventually damage the plunger in addition to being so difficult. On cold mornings, and with aged hands, the process is time-consuming and difficult. Meanwhile, the coffee is steeping in the bottom of the press all this time. My hope is there is a break-in period, but haven't seen any reviews that indicate this. After a week in the field, I have adjusted and much happier with the product. Don't get frustrated. Let it break in.

It's an attractive design and it makes good coffee. However, the plunger rod broke through the bottom of the screen in the third week of use camping. I use a courser percolator grind. Totally unacceptable!

I love this press! I have a lot of presses and this is now one of my favorites. This one replaced my 64oz Stanley press. I like the look and how it keeps my coffee warm. I’ve only used it a couple of times now but I’m excited to take it with me camping. Highly recommended

Best coffee press I've had. Very durable for outdoor or indoor use. The plunger is hard to plunge only because the filtering works so well - this problem is solved by lifting the plunger a tiny bit, then pressing down, then lifting a tiny bit then pressing down. Keeps the coffee hot as warm as any other insulated beverage container.

Es muy pesada, por lo que no es práctica para caminatas. Además, no venía en caja y llegó golpeada. La devolví y no la pedí nuevamente.

J'aime beaucoup le café et le fresh-press est sans doute l'une des meilleures façons de l'apprécier. Personnellement, je trouve ça meilleur que le café filtre. Souhaitant remplacer mon vieux système de fresh-press, j'ai été vers la marque BruTrek que je connais déjà pour avoir une tasse portable du même genre. Leur système de pressoir est vraiment efficace ! PROS : - C'est très robuste ! Le contenant et l'anse de l'appareil est fait de métal. Le couvercle est en plastique de très bonne qualité. Le système de presse est en métal, plastique et caoutchouc. - La double paroi garde le café chaud pendant des heures ! - Le système de filtration est plus efficace que chez Bodum. Il ne laisse pas passer de grains de café. CONS : Pas vraiment de défauts, peut-être juste des améliorations possibles : - Mon ancien système de presse avait une graduation à l'intérieur. Il était donc possible de mesurer la quantité d'eau si l'on voulait moins de café. - Le revêtement en caoutchouc de l'anse s'arrête trop tôt dans le haut de l'anse. Lorsque l'on soulève la cafetière, notre doigt est juste à la limite entre le caoutchouc et le métal, ce qui n'est pas toujours agréable. - Le prix. La produit est très bon, mais assez cher ! Conseils aussi : Certaines moutures de café pas assez fin peuvent bloquer le pressoir et rendre la descente du piston plus difficile. Si c'est le cas, changez de marque de café ou de taille de mouture, cela devrait régler le problème.

It’s well insulated so stays hot for a long while. The extra plate on the screen makes it a little tough to press but, it keeps the grounds out. Very sturdy unit too
