Amazon.comThe Aerolatte Travel coffee press performs several functions at the same time. First, it brews coffee with a simple plunger action like a French press. Secondly, it has a tight-fitting lid with a no-spill drinking aperture for taking coffee on the road. Lastly, its insulated walls act like a thermos to keep coffee hot. (Incidentally, this last function addresses a common complaint about French press pots, which are usually made of glass and do not conserve heat well.) This is a great small gift for an avid coffee drinker.
The Aerolatte Travel coffee press is made from brushed stainless steel with a sturdy foot, lid, and handle. Its double-thick walls are insulated to keep coffee hot with a swiveling lid cover that opens for sipping and also helps conserve heat. A rubber seal around the edge of the plunger screen keeps sediment out of coffee. When not in use, the plunger handle lies almost flush to the lid.
The press's plunger unscrews from the lid for easy cleaning. Plunger, lid, and mug are all safe for the dishwasher. The 12-ounce coffee press stands 5 inches tall and has a 3-1/4-inch diameter (5 inches including the handle). The no-spill lid is not watertight and will leak if turned upside down, so exercise caution with hot beverages. An instruction sheet for using the coffee press is included. --Garland Withers
What Others Say
Unavailable?
I've bought three and want to buy two more... but it seems to be unavailable now. I like them a lot, especially for traveling. It saves me having to have a pot to make my cofee in as well as a good cup. It serves both purposes. Other people seem to like it as well. Two have disappeared...
No Way! Sent it Back!
I own a typical glass french press, which works great. I was willing to try this one because of the traveling capability. I would not purchase this again, and actually sent two back. It may have had great insulation to keep coffee warm, but it leaked grounds into the coffee! Yuck!
Great for Backpacking
I bought this mug/french press to use when backpacking. The outdoor stores sell something similar, but made out of plastic. I was willing to accept the extra weight for the extra durability. Plus the plastic ones can't be used as a mug.
This thing makes GREAT coffee. Simply add some grounds, pour in some hot water, wait five minutes, and drink. In addition, this mug keeps the coffee hot for quite a while. I nurse my coffee, and it stayed hot until I was finished.
I highly recommend Aerolatte To Go Mug French Press.
Great buy
I bought this for my boyfriend who is very picky when it comes to drinking his coffee. He loves this mug and uses it everyday. The stainless steel interior makes it so the mug doesn't continually smell like coffee, and the mug holds heat for a couple hours at a time. The build is sturdy and even fits in a car cupholder. I would definitely recommend this mug!
Not what I hoped.
This is was the first press I've bought. I only drink one cup of coffee so I thought why not drink out of what I make it in....less clean up. Well, while it's a sturdy little mug for sure, I've moved on. First I like milk in my coffee. I had to add this before the hot water because pulling up the lid after the plunger was already on was impossible to do without getting a lot of grounds in the drink. However by adding the milk before hand, I felt this compromised the temperature of the hot water and it's ability to brew out the flavor.
Secondly, even without adding the milk, I still had a lot of grounds. And this was with coarsely ground beans.
I went and bought a small stainless steal 3 cup press and that works much better ... Read More
