Travel Press

In this review I am going to mention what I liked and what I didn’t like about Bodum Travel Press - Black Colour. Price: The price is quite reasonable for a travel mug. Given that you are also provided with a normal lid that you could also use. Quality: The quality of the cup is fair. I mean given the price point, you get what you pay for. The stainless steel provides good insulation from heat, you don’t actually have to hold the cup on the sleeve. Temp? I am a slow coffee drinker. I like to take my time in drinking and this cup lets the coffee stay hot or even lukewarm for hours. Coffee-grounds? If you hate the crunching coffee beans or the taste of coffee grounds, you won’t be disappointed. It is until you reach the very end that you’d taste that. Leak-proof? We need to agree that this is not a flask. The lid might not be up to the quality level that I would have expected but it is fine. It will only leak if you fill the cup to the lid, otherwise, it wouldn’t leak easily. The hole in the lid is necessary due to the possibility of over-pressuring. Origin: Not mentioned but I can guess it being manufactured in China. I used Bodum products for a long time, mostly, they are manufactured in Europe; so, I was kinda disappointed. (In case you are wondering, yes, I do care a lot about where the product is manufactured ). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pros: Good Heat Insulation. Coffee stays warm for hours. Good quality stainless steel. Reasonable coffee filtration. Cons: The rubber seal falls off easily so you need to be careful with it. In essence, the main issue is with the lid. **** (But it does the job) **** Overall: For a fair priced and decent quality product I can recommend this product. You can surely find other products, but the price will be higher.

Great little cafetiere Easy to use and use on the go. Highly recommended.

I'm a 'night owl' so I use this instead of my noisy bean-to-cup machine to make a decaf late at night / in the early hours. It is excellent, so easy to use, I am so glad I bought it. Boil some water then leave it to stand for a minute or two (boiling water burns the coffee and makes it very bitter), pour water over a scoop of coffee grounds in the flask and stir. Put the lid on (with plunger up), wait three to five minutes then slowly press plunger down. Milk can be added afterwards through the flipped-up part of the lid. I find the coffee stays hot for at least three or four hours. Some reviewers have complained about coffee left in the bottom of the flask with the grounds. I find there's usually a small mouthful of coffee under the plunger. Easy solution: flip open the lid and pull up the plunger just far enough so you can still drink from the flask. I've used this flask every day for about two weeks now and never had any coffee grounds 'escaping' past the plunger, even when I lift the plunger a little to drain that last mouthful of coffee. It is very easy to clean also. Unscrew the lid and the coffee grounds can be tipped out or scooped out with a spoon (mine go into the kitchen compost bin). The plunger mesh can be unscrewed from the stem for a thorough clean. The extra regular lid is a bonus for coffee on the go. The flask is fine in a cup-holder although not for carrying around in a bag as it is not completely leak-proof.

Great little coffee mug. I have had other double walled mugs in the past but this is up there with the ones that really do keep my coffee warm for extended periods. This mug came with two lids. A normal lid for drinking already made coffee and a "french press" lid which contains a small coffe press to use with ground coffee (very handy for making nice coffee of your choosing in the office). Both lids offer you the ability to drink with the lid on and the close the drinking aperture to keep the majority of your coffee contained and warm. Plase note. This lid is not water tight! This is not a flask that can be thrown in a bag. The lid will keep the coffee from spilling when in your cars cup holder but you can not expect it to keep it in when turned upside down. The only reason i have removed a star is that the coffee press does tend to let the ground coffee escape as its not the tightest fit but I can put up with it. Also, its a bit tricky to add milk to the coffee once you have started pressing it down (shame on me for adding milk you say). I press half way and then there is still enough space under the lid to add milk. The lid and mug are easy to clean by hand and i love the rubber grip but most of all i love the fact that there is a rubber base on it too! Its not the biggest, but it is what i would consider a small cup of coffee size (obviously that's a personal opinion that will differ with everyones expectations).

I purchased mine in 2014, option with the cafetiere press and travel mug lid. It's lasted well, with regular use each winter. It's metal, sontheres some dinks and scratches where it's been dropped. After years of Use, there's staining on the inside. Thats ti be expected. It's keeps drinks warm on the commute to work. It's not spill proof.

Love this. The coffee press is great and it works really well - the mug keeps drinks very hot for ages. To test it I pre warmed the cup and made black tea then left it for 1 hour 40 mins. It was still scalding hot after this time. The design of the mug and lid is good - you can push the opening flap back so it clicks locked when you are drinking which stops it bashing you on the nose and I love the fact I can use it for coffee or tea by just switching the lids over. The stainless steel doesn't taint the drink however there is a slight taste of plastic from the lid but I'm hoping that after a bit of use the 'new plastic' taste will disappear. Of course it isn't 100% leakproof so I wouldn't carry in my bag as it does need to be kept upright but it's great for using around the home or at work and in the car. I recommend this cup for anyone wanting a versatile travel cup that does the most important job of keeping your hot drinks hot.

This is the second one I've bought now so I can say my review is genuine. The filter is everlasting, I've had one of these for 3 years now and I use it every moring on the way to work and it's no different. I bought another one so my wife had one. The appearance is good, and for cleaning it, it all comes apart. I've had no leaks on the seals, the flip over clasp for when not using it while in transit is spot on. I can fill mine up today, turn it over and it doesn't drip/leak after 3 years of use and that's saying something. Its easky to use, you can leave it brewing for as long as you desire. Its lightweight as well, I would highly recomend it.

Great cafetière. Holds the temperature well and is very well made.

I'm quite happy with how well made and thought out this mug is. The tolerances on it are good and it's built in such a way that any nooks and crannies that might be a problem when cleaning are easy to clean. Even the finish was better than expected.

dopo varie ricerche online ho deciso di comprare questo e penso di aver fatto la scelta giusta, filtra il caffè benissimo. unico neo e che se lo rovesciare perde un pochino. ottimo per fare il caffè in viaggio. tiene caldo a lungo

Looks good and works well

Really good and practical! Only flaw is that there's always a little bit of water stuck in the bottom when you make coffe. Easy to clean. Great for making coffee on the go!

Tuve una taza de esta marca hace muchos años. Hacer café directamente en esta taza es simplemente genial. Vierta el café, vierta agua caliente y espere 5 minutos. Luego presione el botón hacia abajo. El café sabe delicioso, puedes llevarte la taza al coche o al trabajo inmediatamente y se mantiene caliente durante mucho tiempo. Altamente recomendado.
