 Give up bad coffee for good but not for long.... October 14, 2008
Might look like a good deal but the design is flawed to the initial design concept. The outer portion of the French Press cracked in the first week!
The plastic design is very delicate, I dont know how it would handle the everyday regular wear and tear. I just take it to work and class, and have no clue why it would break on me.
While the advantages of this product is clear: looks good and its inexpensive, its flaws is not too noticeable.
The main reason is that you have to finish the coffee in the first 20-30 minutes or it will start becoming giving overtly strong and off smell and taste. This is because of the liquid and the ground coffee intermingle with each other for too long and so it does not taste as good as the first half hour after the coffee was made.
When you go to actually pressing the beans and the hot water, bits of the grind always escape the mesh, so the trick is to not fill the mug all the way, rather leaving a little space on top so the mesh can cover all sides of the inner flask.
This product is overpriced and I regret every part of the purchase.
Did any of you guys wonder why Bodum Chambord coffee press' American Culinary Institute's Award (in the product description) is relevant to the Bodum Travel Coffee Press?
Are you thinking what I am thinking?.....
 Great coffee wherever you go! October 12, 2008
I bought this travel French press so I could stop buying bad coffee at work and instead make the delicious, bold coffee that I love. I grind the beans at home, put them in the bottom of the mug, and just add hot water at work. My coffee stays hot for a good long, while. The only problem is that the suction or the screen is not as good as in my glass French press. I do often end up with some grounds in my mouth. Overall, I am very pleased.
 Ehhh...it's okay September 3, 2008
The biggest problem I have with this product is that the plunger doesn't fit snugly enough to the sides of the cup, which means there's a fair amount of coffee grounds still swirling around. However, the double-walled cup is awesome in keeping the drink hot for quite awhile.
 Amazing Press! July 17, 2008
If you are the kind of person who likes a strong cup of coffee and who wants to take that amazig coffee everywhere, this is the product for you! I find at my office the coffee to be dull and watered down. I like to bring this from my house, with the grounds in it, and then I add hot water to it, cream, sugar, mix it up, then put the top on (which has the press attached) and voila! There is even a nifty snap-shut little lid over the mouth piece. It might get a few weird looks from on lookers, but it brews an amazing cup of coffee.
Good Coffee but Poor Product June 6, 2008
Overall, this made great coffee and tea. I bought it to augment my glass Bodum french press and found it worked adequately well for a little over a year. I ran into problems over time however:
+ The filter is sealed using a rubber O-ring which deteriotated and grew stained with use.
+ The plastic thermos cracked after about 8-months, and finally came apart after a year.
+ Unlike the metal/glass used in the larger presses, the plastic in this tended to hold onto odors and flavors.
+ The lid doesn't seal securely so you may find yourself splashing some hot coffee/water on yourself.
Overall, a great product but don't count on it lasting forever.
