ESPRO Light P3 French Press Coffee Maker – Patented Double Micro-Filter for Grit-Free Brew, Heat Resistant thicker Borosilicate Glass Coffee press – (Black 18 oz)

I just burned through my third big name, high tech integrated grinder/coffee maker, and got totally frustrated at spending hundreds of dollars on appliances that last 1 1/2 years. I opted to try a French Press for its simplicity...no electricity, no motherboard to fail, no grinder to stop grinding, & no high-cost outlay. I chose Espro based upon Wirecutter's recommendation. I was very impressed by its design and functionality. Following the recommended instructions, I brewed very good coffee my first try. I had expected some fiddle factor of experimenting a few times to get it right, but that was not the case. The double filter does everything it is touted to do. I had zero sludge or grit in my pour. If there is anything I didn't like, it is that the clean-up is something of a mess but nothing I'm unwilling to put up with.

I bought this French press after doing some research when our French press broke. I thought maybe I'd like to try the pour over method but decided to stick with the French press. This model/make intrigued me due to the double filter AND the optional use of paper filters. When the press arrived I made our first pot of coffee using the paper filter along with the same coffee beans we have been using for decades. I could taste the difference right away! The bitter undertones and acidic undertones were gone! I used a little bit less coffee than recommended and ended up with a weaker pour than I wanted so the next pot I added more coffee and did not use the filter. Immediately I could taste the bitter undertones again, but the coffee tasted good! The next day I increased the amount of coffee and used the paper filter. I made the perfect pot of coffee! After that pot I used the same amount of coffee and the paper filter again ... another pot of great coffee! In conclusion, after decades of trying to make a consistently great pot of coffee I finally am able to do so! The coffee I make now is consistently smooth, bitter free and less acidic. We will never go back to traditional French presses! The paper filter and double mesh filters make ALL the difference in the world for consistently great coffee! Another bonus - the carafe comes free from the handle/holder so clean up is a breeze.

Makes great, silt-free coffee. Took a little trial and error, but figured out the right grind and dwell time before plunging. Turns out 5 minutes works best for bold coffee. The only reason I am giving this a four is because the glass carafe does not seat Well in the plastic holder and when you're pouring it could actually slip out and break. You have to be mindful to hold it in place when you're turning the unit upside down

I found this to be a good starter press, for trying french press coffee. The only downside i have with it is how loose the lid sits on it, other than that it has been a great addition to my home coffee brewing journey.

I had to come back to update my previous review. I took 2 stars away because of the amoubt of coffee this press makes vs others. The double basket is so large (deep) it takes up the space of a single cup of coffee. You can only fill it up, at most, less than 3/4 of the way feom the top. Otherwise, when putting in the press, the coffee and grounds spit out everywhere. I went from 3-4 cups of coffee, to share, to only 2 cups of coffee. When taking out the press, it will stick at the lip of the glass and will shoot grounds everywhere, making a huge mess. I don't use a lot of grounds in my press, so I wouldn't expect this hassle. Still makes a wonderful cup of coffee, just not as impressive as most claim it is. (Previous review) I have been using your basic run of the mill French press. It would spill with every poor, coffee grounds would stick to the sides of the glass, and would pour grounds of coffee into my cup. I thought my coffee was good, but the moment I used this press and then drank my coffee, I knew I made the right decision. The coffee doesn't stick to the sides of the glass if the press, it does not spill one drop when pouring, and the flavor of my coffee...Holy hell, it is amazing. I had no idea there was more flavor to my coffee. I saw this press in an article about the best French presses. It was on sale and I thought, why not. I am so happy I made this purchase. It works beautifully, holds 3 cups of coffee, and for $40, who can complain?! The one tip I never thought of was to turn the lid with the spout around to the back to keep the coffee/tea warm. You turn the spout to pour and turn it back to keep in the heat and freshness. I love this and am so happy.

For the coffee connoisseur who loves a perfect cup of coffee and doesn't mind a little work, will enjoy this morning ritual. It gives coffee quality to freshly ground coffee. The pot and mechanism clean up easily.

I bought this simply because of the size. I love me 3 cups of coffee throughout the morning, and this bad mammajamma will hold that. The filtering on this thing is awesome. I has fine stainless mesh filters that very adequately keeps the grounds out of the coffee. The plunge with he rubber seals is very satisfying, as well. My only complaint is that cleaning is a bit more tedious with the extra components, but I can confirm that they are all top-rack dishwasher-safe.

Great, but not easy to clean. It takes a little bit to clean which isn't helpful when you're rushing to get out the door. Makes great coffee though. No issues.

Good quality material

thé ou café toujours parfaite

It cracked spontaneously while I was pouring water into it.

Großartige Erfindung! Anders als sonst kommt dank dem 2. Filter und einer sehr guten Dichtung so gut wie kein Kaffeesatz durch. Der Kaffee schmeckt so gut wie von FrenchPress bekannt und ist so sauber wie guter Filterkaffee.

Better than all the others, just get it.
