Editorial Review :

Bodum, the original manufacturer of the coffee press, is always searching for the best way to serve a cup of gourmet coffee. The French press method of brewing is already accepted worldwide as the best way to brew coffee. We asked our design team to come up with the next best thing in French press brewing. One of the comments our consumers had about French press coffee was that the quality was great but there was no way to keep it warm while they enjoyed their weekend morning tradition of relaxing with coffee while reading the paper or watching the sun rise. Enter the new Shin Bistro Double Wall Glass coffee maker! The Shin Bistro Insulated Coffee Press keeps excellently brewed coffee hot and aromatic for nearly two hours. A highly sophisticated production process using double wall glass technology leads to a stunning thermal effect.. The inner beaker is machine-blown whereas the outer beaker is mouth-blown, perfecting the balance between insulation and product stability. The Shin Bistro features a black stay-cool, non-slip rubber handle. The body is made of high-tech, ultra-light heat-resistant borosilicate glass. The operation of the press is exactly the same as our original single wall versions. It is so simple to use. To clean, simply use a rubber spatula to scoop out the grounds into your garbage or compost and rinse the press well. You are now ready for your next brewing. If you prefer, you can also put the rinsed press into the dishwasher for a more thorough cleaning. Replacement glass beakers are available. Note: Coffee is measured in 4 oz. cups so an 8-Cup press brews 8--4 oz. cups. If you look at is from the standpoint of a traditional 10-12 oz. coffee mug, this coffeemaker will brew 3-4 servings

Disappointing

Within a week of use, a small hole developed on the bottom of the carafe. The hole is very small but water and condensation are now between the two glass layers, and steam hisses menacingly anytime I pour hot water into the carafe. I did not drop the Bodum or do anything else that might have broken it. The hole is obviously the result of a manufacturing flaw, but because Bodum doesn't provide any warranty for the glass portions of their products, there is no recourse available. This is the last Bodum product I will buy.

kept coffee hot, but thin outer wall broke after 6 weeks!

we purchased the dbl wall 8 cup by chamboard, because we'd liked their single wall french press makers, but this one, drips, pressing action was so so, and tonight putting into the dishwasher( instructions said ok), the think outer wall broke. Chambord doesn't cover glass breakage. We're going back to single wall by Chambord.
Save yourself agony!

Heat that lasts

We got this pot for Christmas 08 and LOVE it. I spend my mornings in a barely heated room with a temperature of 56F. The coffee stays toasty for well over an hour, even under those cold conditions.

I have read reports that the coffeepot dribbles when pouring, but mine sure doesn't. Not one drop in the 2 weeks I've been using it.

no dripping here

I don't know if they have made recent improvements since some of these reviews, or if because the outer shell is handmade some are different than others. We love ours! No dripping, wonderful coffee, sturdy press. I especially love the no slip handle. We got a fancy coffee maker for our wedding- but we really missed the taste from a french press. It doesn't give us the 'all day' insulation of the carafe, but it gives us hot coffee for the two hours it takes us to get out the door in the morning!

Bodum Insulated Coffee Press

My wife likes her French Presses, and really loves this double wall insulated version. Bodum seems to make the best; they are simple, easy to use and clean, and last a long time.

Good Points:
- Keeps coffee hot for an hour or more.
- Relatively compact size looks great on the breakfast table
- See through construction makes it easy to tell when to brew more.
- Appears to take harder knocks than the single wall versions.

Watch out for:
- It is made of glass. A real klutz will find a stainless steel french press more appropriate.
- It is not a thermos. If you tip it over, it will spill.
- If you really need the coffee hot several hours down the road, you will want to use a regular thermos.

Editorial Review :

Planetary Design Travel Presses. Planetary Design has revolutionized the century old art of brewing coffee and tea via French Press. The Boot Cut travel press mugs, constructed of 18/8 stainless steel, are incredibly durable and equally impressive in their ability to retain heat for extended periods of time. The patented double filtration system, modeled after a hydraulic cylinder, ensures that grounds will not pass through, creating the perfect brew of coffee or tea. Simply pour hot water over coffee grounds or loose leaf tea, let steep, push stopper down and enjoy the best brew around. No need to pour into a separate container, you can drink right from the pot. Additionally, the Boot Cut press was designed specifically with an extra wide base for additional stability in a great line of colors. The mug presses are ideal for the coffee or tea connoisseur that doubles as an outdoor enthusiast or professional on the run.

Great mug for the office

I work in a cubicle in an office building and drink a lot of coffee. I bought my French press mug about two years ago when the price of a 12 oz cup of coffee in the office went up to 45 cents. They had a hot water dispenser which cost nothing. Now I brew my own coffee at work, and get better coffee for a lower price. The only difficulty that I ran into is disposing the grains. We have a sink with a garbage disposal at work, and I found some sites on the web that said coffee grains are good for garbage disposals. I dump the grainy slurry at the bottom of the cup into the trash, and wash the rest of the grains into the garbage disposal. So far no problems there. I wash my cup and filter in a dishwasher regularly with no problems.

The quality of the coffee is excellent. French press coffee allows some tiny grains through the filter which give the coffee more texture. I've used coffee ground for drip paper filters in the mug, and it works fine. I prefer to grind my own beans and it turns out coarser. The mug keeps the coffee warm for over three hours, which is much better than I expected.

After about 2 years of drinking coffee from this mug I can also say the quality is good. The plunger, filter, handle, etc. are all still in good condition. If this ever wears out, I'll definitely get another!

Best mug/french press ever!!!

I have owned one of these mugs for couple of years and I love it. I plan on buying a 2nd and maybe even a 3rd one. I am going to school to be an herbalist and I love this mug for brewing loose herbs overnight...the double screen allows for no plant particles to be swallowed. It is also nice that it's stainless steel and not a leaching material like aluminum or plastic. I give it an A+

Makes two good cups of coffee

This press is excellent quality but I expected more than two cups (mugs) of coffee with each press. Combine this with a good coffee grinder and you are steps above instant coffee. I'm happy with the purchase and recommend it for any serious coffee drinker.

Camping coffee made easy!

My friends and I do a ton of canoe/camping trips. For years we have used a percolator to create that early morning motivational cup of coffee. On of the smarter of us found this french press system, and not only does it make a better cup of coffee it cuts down on the amount of gear you have to carry (space in a canoe for a week long trip is at a premium). I LOVE this set up! Even in 20* weather the cup keeps the coffee and me warm. Would highly recommend this to the outdoors person as well as someone looking for a way to brew a single cup of coffee/tea at home. GREAT product.

Past expectations-

This press is about as good as it gets----keeps coffee hot for 2+ hours---an idiot can use it with no problems---been drinking cowboy coffee and espresso all my life---never realized the bitter taste of boiled coffee until I used this press the first time---I assume the plastic parts will work for a decent length of time---and---can be replaced easily and reasonably priced---buying four more for friends---

Problems

I had bought the Eileen 8-cup press in January, it was shipped in February to delivery address. When I opened it (the address is a vacation home in the US, since I live overseas), the pyrex glass was cracked. Amazon was kind enough to replace it, although it out of the 30-day warranty return policy. We received the new one in two days, but it was also cracked when I checked it, without use. We were not able to return it because we had to leave that afternoon. We will only be back on June 15.
It looks nice, in fact beautiful, but it or the packaging does not resist delivery handling procedures.
I wonder if we can get a replacement.

The Art of Fine Coffee

If you're ready to try a French press, Bodum's Eileen model is absolutely gorgeous! You can enjoy a fine piece of art and a perfect cup of coffee at the same time.

First, let me say that a press makes fabulous coffee. The principle is simple. Put some freshly ground coffee in the glass beaker; add boiling water straight from the kettle, stir, wait a few minutes, then press the plunger to take all the grounds to the bottom of the carafe. You'll have a hot, rich, lovely brew. The typical drip coffee maker doesn't seem to get the water hot enough to bring out the full flavor of the beans; percolators keep boiling the coffee and can turn bitter; and home versions of espresso machines are very expensive. When you add the boiling water to good coffee in a press, watch the crema start to form and smell the glorious aroma. Perfection!

My only reservation about this model is that the Eileen frame, while absolutely beautiful, doesn't seem to hold the carafe as snugly as the Chambord model. Although the carafe doesn't seem in danger of slipping out of the frame while you're pouring, there is definitely extra room there. I'd also be careful with the plastic knob on top of the plunger. The clean up isn't difficult - everything comes apart and goes into the dishwasher. If something does break, Amazon carries standard Bodum replacement parts.

One more tip, if you want your coffee with milk served hot, just put a glass of milk in the microwave for a couple of minutes. That way can add all the milk you like without making the coffee cold. If you really want to go all the way, check out some of the milk frothers available on Amazon. It's an inexpensive gadget that turns skim and lowfat milk into a decadent, creamy foam.

Ahhhhh....life is good!

I love it!

It is very functional, clean lines, it looks great sitting out in my kitchen. I had a cheap one that fell apart, so I invested in this one and I really love it. Nice and sturdy, easy to clean. The price was very reasonable.

Frustrating design flaw is drawback...

For their "top of the line" (expensive) press, the manufacturer should definitely have added one important feature. The handle is made of a perfect sort of nonslip, hard rubber; but the the bottom of this press is hard plastic and slips very easily on any counter top surface. The rubber on the handle should also be on the underside of this press. I've taken to using a rubber mat under this press, since the first few times I used it, it nearly slid off the counter. If you bump this with an elbow, etc., forget it. Also, when you place this in the sink to wash it, it slides directly into the drain area and tips over if you're not careful. The potential for breaking the glass is really high if you're not extraordinarily careful with this product. The metal "cage" is great, but obviously does not protect the delicate spout. I've had other, cheaper Bodum presses that performed better in this regard (one with a plain glass bottom came with a cork pad for the bottom). Makes great coffee, though, as you would expect.
