Caribou Coffee - 5-Cup French Press - Clear

This press has been used for the last few days and I’m new to French pressed coffee. Quality item, easy to use and it was basically free using my reward points. Don’t hesitate to buy one!

Easy to use. Easy to and clean. Great Coffee! A real pleasure.

Man oh man! French Roast coffee is life changing!!

The Caribou Coffee 5 Cup French Press is the best value of any french press on the market. It's been priced as low as $9.99 as a Deal of the Day! Compared to my Bodum or Starbucks French Presses it's almost as good, but they are both more than twice the price of a Caribou Coffee press. As with any French press it may take a one or two uses to get the grind size and timing dialed in to your likeness. After, its a perfect cup every time. Fresh, roasted coffee beans and filtered water (refrigerator dispensed water works fine as long as the filters are changed at proper intervals) are essential for best results. I also recommend using a hand operated ceramic burr grinder for best results when grinding coffee to produce grinds of a uniform size; bladed grinders are notorious for producing poorly ground coffee.

I have had this French press for a while now and it the first one I have ever purchased. If this one breaks , I will definitely buy another one. It is slightly more involved than using a percolating machine but the difference in flavor is quite noticeable. By using the instructions provided, you can easily make coffee more fine tuned to your liking. I would recommend, however, whole bean coffee and a bean grinder to grind the beans a little finer than pre ground Coffee. By far some of the best and most flavorful coffee I have made.

This Press is small. It makes coffee for sure but I find it easier to use my drip pot for a quick, good tasting cup of coffee. I think it is a bit of a chore to clean and store being glass.

Picked up this after hearing all the lore about French Press coffee brewing and how great it is.. For my first entry, this seems to do the trick.. Well worth the reduced clearance price I paid.

So far I am liking this French press. I do like that with using glass it doesn’t leave any metal taste. And is easy to clean and to see when it is clean after drying. Beyond that it has a nice looking design. The only down side is that on one them, when I took the press apart to clean it and put it back on. It doesn’t seem to want to screw down all the way so the press is a little wobbly when I push down, but still works. That happened within the first week that I used it. Other than that I have enjoyed them.
