MaxMiuly Cafetiere Stainless Steel French Press Large Insulated Coffee Press, Double Wall Coffee & Tea Maker, 1.5L / 50 OZ-Bonus with Two Coffee Filter Screens(1500ml Silver)

After one too many accidents with glass/plastic ones I wanted metal. Liked the look of them, they are indeed very ergonomic. Robust, and they come with two spare filters. The double skin build certainly keep the coffee hotter. I dismantle the filter assembly after every use for better cleaning, you need to make sure everything is screwed up tight again afterwards. There was something in the instructions about only using coarse ground coffee (I think it said, before I threw it away) but it works perfectly with your normal bags of filtered coffee. Excellent, delighted.

This French press makes excellent coffee everytime. If required the insulation maintains the temperature of the coffee. We bought the 1.5 litre press, the markings go to the very top of the jug, so in practical terms it holds 1.3 litres of liquid, with enough room for the lid to sit on top. It will make us a large mug of coffee each. I like stainless steel and the neat, sleek shape of the press. It looks good on the breakfast table. It's very easy to disassemble for cleaning and will go in the dishwasher. I've had the press for 18 months and it still looks good. I use it everyday.

I had various cafetieres before,and this one is the best. It is well made. The press compacts all the coffee every time. As it is made of stainless steel it holds the heat in. It is much better than glass ones I had previously.

Generally I like this cafetiere very much, the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is the capacity is not as stated. I bought the 1.5L 12 cup version expecting to be able to make 1.5L of coffee, not a reasonable assumption you would of thought. Alas the capacity may be 1.5L when brimmed to the point just before water comes out of spout (I checked it), but usable it is really 1125ml. (Or perhaps 1250ml if filled to the level the lid can still just go on without overflowing, but this risks overflowing hot coffee if you are not very careful.) One of the pictures shows an arrow on the lid (to turn the lid to when pouring), this cafetiere does not have this, but this is not such a big deal in practice. You can see when looking through the pouring spout where to turn it. The lid is not a tight seal, so it still pours if you don't turn it, just not as quickly. I have had it about a week now and and otherwise I find the cafetiere is brilliant. It looks to be well made with a good polished finish. I find it far easier to clean then my old glass one. Heat retention wise I tested it. With the pot starting at room temperature (19 deg C), I filled it with 1125ml of boiling water and measured the temperature over the next few hours. Time - Temp (deg C) 1 min - 93.7 30 mins - 87.1 1 hour - 78.4 2 hour - 66.7 3 hour - 58.7 6 hour - 42.7 Touching the cafetiere once the coffee has been in it for a while, it is clear the temperature is hotter at the top of the pot than the bottom. I conclude the vacuum is doing its job (it also sounds as I would expect when tapping the pot if there was a vacuum between the inner and outer wall). I cant say this about the lid though. It seems to me the lid may not have a vacuum. The lid is sealed though, submerging it when cleaning it there is no evidence of any water ingress. Hope this is of help. Enjoy your brew ...

This is not only a beautiful looking cafetière, it's also very practical. I love fresh coffee in the mornings and this is the perfect size for a single mug. Being stainless steel it's not going to shatter if the cat knocks it off the worktop (blaming the cat instead of my clumsiness!) and being double-walled I'm hoping it will keep warm if I'm delayed in pouring it – though be aware that this is not advertised as a vacuum/insulated flask so don't expect it to act as one. It certainly means that the walls aren't hot to handle after pouring in the hot water from the kettle, a bonus that I won't burn myself touching it. It makes nice coffee and once depressed the filter holds the grounds in place so they don't end up in the cup. It pours easily and, as you can see in my video, has a non-drip spout. I definitely prefer this one to my traditional glass cafetière, both ease of use and good looks! It's very simple to clean, just empty the grinds, rinse out the loose bits and pop it in the dishwasher. It also comes with spare filter screens, adding to its longevity. Coffee grounds can be disposed of in food recycling or composting, and are great as soil drainage, especially when used in soil for plant pots. They also make a good abrasive scourer for cleaning :)

This works absolutely perfectly, and produces a great cup of coffee, with no grounds escaping into my drink! It's dishwasher safe, although to be honest, it's really no effort to wash it by hand. Best of all, it's not going to break any time soon. I've had several glass cafetieres, which between me being clumsy, and random acts of the universe, have cracked or smashed. This time, I wanted something that's as indestructible as possible, and I am not disappointed. In addition, unlike many of the glass models, this one actually looks rather stylish. I'm really happy with this coffee pot, especially as it's such good value. Highly recommended!

This is very stylish and robust little coffee pot in stainless steel. Looks good, well made and works really well. Comes with two spare filters which is great.

Its really nice, much more robust than the glass one we had been using that was given to us by a family friend after we vacated our coffee machine. But when that glass one broke, I decided to invest in a stainless steel cafetière. Don’t get me wrong, this is lovely but I am very confused by its (and every other brand) marketing of “8 cups”. Cups is not an overly common unit of measure in the uk, but I was very excited when I saw that I could make 8 cups in one go. My mugs are quite big at home but I thought, thats still 4 decent mugs worth - enough if you’re making for visitors too (our visitors mugs are slightly smaller than our everyday use mugs) so it was a win win. Unfortunately, I was only able to make 2 decent mugs worth when testing it out. I have since measured the volume of our mugs and have gone for a 1500ml model to accommodate us more accurately. Lovely product for the one use it had but just not big enough and certainly a bit misleading unless you have previous experience of knowing that 8 cups is not actually 8 cups in your house.
