Question: How many 8oz cups of coffee does one actually get?
Document: This French Press is the one everyone should own. I have a total of three French Presses, and this one is the only one that actually manages to keep the coffee grounds out of my coffee!The screen and spring of the press are tight along the sides of the glass, ensuring no grounds get by while still allowing the coffee to filter through and achieve the proper flavor. If any grounds do happen to get by, there is another measure in place.
I have 2 other French Presses besides this one: a Bodum Young plastic/glass, and a Francois et Mimi stainless steel. They all make flavorful cups of coffee once you get the hang of using a French press. This Kona, along with the Bodum Young, use glass beakers and they have some protection against breakage.What I don't like - (My reason for 4 stars, not 5):1. The beaker is not removable for cleaning.
The order arrived promptly and was safely packaged.The French Press is quite attractive and sturdily built. (We own another brand and it does not share these attributes.) The directions were easy to follow and within minutes we had an excellent cup of coffee. Our old model required two or three trial runs before we got it right. With the Kona French Press we got a perfect cup, actually, two cups, the first time.Good, solid product. A good way to wake up in the morning.
Very quality construction. Use it camping. Love it. I am sure that we will get many years out of our new coffee press.
How do you know what you think of the product before you use it? And this also answers the question of why this product has so many positive reviews. Furthermore, I keep getting emails from the seller. Finally unsubscribed. Anyway, I still like the pot, but I am irritated with the seller and I feel like their claim that its the "#1 premium coffee maker" is misleading. People review this pot to get the free screen. Period.
), which actually keeps the coffee hotter longer. Some of the cheaper presses on the market come with such thin carafes that your coffee goes to lukewarm quickly. This one does not.The instructions are a nice touch because they clearly and succinctly cover how to use this press if you are using one for the first time, as well as cleaning and care. In that respect this is a well thought out product that is nicely designed, well made and makes a terrific cup of coffee.
Quality is very nice, rigid plastic, and just as good as the major brands. Seems like it will last a while.Update:Now that I have made several beakers of coffee, here is a breakdown compared to my previous Bodum Press1. The mess filter in this Kona Press is tons better than the Bodum ever was. I get no resistance, and no grounds in my cups. a brand new filter on a Bodum never performed like this2.
With the Kona press, the plastic frame and thicker glass make me much more confident that I won't break the thing while washing it someday.Operation is simple. I microwave 32 ounces of water in a measuring cup. While that is nuking, I have time (about 4 minutes in my 1400 watt microwave) to get out sweetener or cream and prep my cups. I like my coffee strong, so I scoop a total of 8 level tablespoons of dark roast coffee into the bottom of the glass beaker.
Then I placed the plunger into the pot and left the knob handle fully extended vertically. And then let it sit and steep for four minutes. After four minutes I began to slowly press the plunger down with minimal pressure for approximately 30 seconds. And then my coffee was ready to pour. The filter never get clogged and I was able to plunge it about 15 times very smoothly. I made two cups of coffee for my spouse and I and really enjoyed a great cup of coffee! I highly recommend this press.
An old fashioned and traditional brew that is still here for a reason: Electrical cannot top it.And this French Press works great. Not a flaw in it--but for me the difference in this one is that it also looks beautiful even if left out all the time. And for that, it makes it great as a gift--because many have no idea they NEED a French press if they make coffee, until they have one.Press provided by Idylc Homes
Answer: You need room for the coffee and the press filter, so 3.5 cups is what I usually get. You get 3 "clean" 8oz cups- after that it can get a bit "muddy" depending on your grind (coarse is better), how long you let it settle (patience grasshopper) and if you pour it all out slowly at one go (going back to the upright position between pours muddies it). The press is 34 oz. so therefore, roughly between 3 to 4 cups.
