Item Information
The espro press was designed with the mission of making the best french press on the planet. It has the benefits of a coffee press without the negative of coffee grounds in your cup. This is possible by using the specially designed double micro filter. The coffee is filtered twice and so well that Espro says the extraction of the coffee stops when the plunger has been pushed down. We do have to warn: the coffee is filtered so well that sometimes there is even some left at the bottom of the press with the coffee grounds.
The double wall stainless steel design is made with expert craftsmanship and durable enough to last for many years to come.
Pros
- Stainless steel double wall for durability and heat retention
- Double micro filter to let coffee oils through without the grit
- Double silicon gasket to prevent coffee grounds from slipping by the filter
- Easy to clean because the filter disassembles in a snap without extra parts
- 8 Oz per serving which is enough for a cup of coffee

I loved the smooth taste of the coffee and not finding powdery grounds when I got to the bottom of my cup. And I appreciated that the coffee was very hot since I like it light and often have to nuke the French press coffee to get it hot enough.But pouring out all the coffee was a problem! Strangely, I could only pour out a bit more than 2/3 of the contents. The only way to get to the rest was to lift and press the plunger then pour, repeatedly!I've asked the manufacturer for guidance to avoid this problem and will edit this review when it's received.Update from manufacturer:"I put in about 10 oz of water. A bit over 1 ounce of water is absorbed into the coffee grounds, so cannot be poured. When I pour the first time, I get about 7 ounces. I also re-plunge, and get another 1 ounce out from this. So there is about 1 ounce of coffee wasted. Unfortunately, this is the price paid for the extra clean coffee."So it would appear that the problem I experienced is built in. My experience is 12 oz. in and 8 oz. out on initial pour. Each re-plunge and pour gets an additional 1 oz. Annoying. But I must agree that if "this is the price paid for the extra clean coffee," it's unwelcome, but worth it.Update:I finally gave up and got an AeroPress (which I use with the upside-down method). Who needs to fight with a coffee pot first thing in the morning?

So one day I was wandering around on Kickstarter and saw a project: make a 30-oz version of the Espro Press. "Hmm", I thought to myself, "I don't need a 30-oz version, I'll get the 8-oz version! It will be an experiment."For my morning cup of commute coffee, I usually employ a Hario V60 pour-over cone, various beans from [...] and just a tiny splash of milk, for a very gentle brew. This little press is now my go-to for afternoon coffee - same beans, and no milk. The brewer brings a different quality to the flavor - it's more intense, but not as intense or bitter as you'd get from a regular French press. It's sort of a hybrid. IF ALL YOU WANT IS A FRENCH PRESS, and you relish the intensity and the little bit of bitterness in the grit which you get from that last little bit of coffee from the bottom, DON'T BUY THIS - it's different kind of brewer. (Or buy both, but just don't expect them to work the same way.)My Tonx beans are all very nice, full of flavors and fairly lightly roasted. If you're going to use generic, cheap, super-dark over-roasted coffee from Starbucks or Safeway or Duncan Donuts or the like, and use it after t's been sitting in your freezer for a month after sitting on the store warehouses and shelves for three months.... then that's fine, but you have no need to bother with fancy expensive brewing equipment designed to highlight your coffee's flavor.Espro has a website - [...]- it's also informative. "Clean as paper but with the full body and rich flavors of a press pot."Five stars, not because it's the end-all and be-all of coffee brewers, but because it does something interesting you won't find from another brewer, and it does it well.
Specific
The unique double micro-filter on this press really makes a difference in the coffee I make. Before, I just had a cheap-o french press that was falling apart and always left a ton of sediment in the bottom of my mug. Now, my coffee is much cleaner and smoother tasting just switching to this press, and thats with generic starbucks coffee and a horrible grinder. Impressive.As far as the actual coffee this produces, it's a 5 star product. However, there are two draw-backs to this press. Firstly, it really is small and you won't get a lot of coffee out of it. I bought this because I only needed to make one cup at a time. If I could fill it all the way up that would be fine, but with a press, you want to only fill it up to a certain point to where when you put the plunger in, it won't push the grounds over the filter, which will won't be filtered out. So thats a little bit less coffee right there. Secondly, it really does leave a surprising amount of coffee after plunging. Now, I really have no idea why it does this, I can't figure it out. When you plunge and pour, then take out the plunger, theres a lot of liquid coffee just sitting at the bottom. If the coffee grounds really did absorb all of this liquid, I could understand. But, its free flowing, and SHOULD go through the filter, but for whatever reason, it doesn't.So thats why I give it 4 stars, because there are those two draw-backs to this product. That said, it really does make a great cup of coffee, and I'm happy with it. So, if you just have to have a big mug of coffee, this won't cut it for you. Additionally, if you are one of those people who actually prefers the grit and bitterness of regular french press, don't get it, and don't come on here and pretend this "doesn't allow the full flavor of the coffee to pass through." If you need more coffee, you should look into getting the bigger version. This press is well-made and double-walled, I see it lasting a long time.
