    Comments about Snow Peak Titanium French Press - 3 Cup:

    This French Press is so nice because it doubles as a stove pot. I love it because its the only cookware I bring on lightweight trips. I boil water in it, use half to make breakfast and the rest to make coffee, breakfast in 10 minutes! Best part is this is the only cookware that has told me it's safe you use on campfire coles. I love being able to make coffee or tea on the fire whenever I want. Could not ask for more from my French Press

    Great Press Pot - Remove the Mesh Filter

    Comments about Snow Peak Titanium French Press - 3 Cup:

    I read all of the reviews on this Press Pot and apparently no one has thought to just remove the white fine mesh filter to prevent coffee grinds from working their way past the edge of the filters. My first cup of coffee looked like it came from a river bottom as I used the pot just as it came out of the box. I dumped the sediment down the drain, removed the white mesh filter and made a new cup. Perfect! No grounds and great taste. Works just like any other Press Pot and I use it every day at home as it is just enough to get the day jump started. Use coarse grind and enjoy.

      Comments about Snow Peak Titanium French Press - 3 Cup:

      After guiding trips in the BWCA, I wanted a coffee press that was lightweight and made a great tasting coffee as opposed to making cowboy coffee in a pot of water. (Boil water, add coffee, stir) This french press rocks, I have had no problems with it sitting on my whisperlite stove. Titanium is the way to go.

      Awesome product, I love it. Snowpeak has it right.

          Comments about Snow Peak Titanium French Press - 3 Cup:

          i used this press multiple times a day for many months while bicycle touring america. best method for use is to boil the water in a pot and then pour. it was not stable on a whisper-lite stove and boiling it on another stove does indeed create handles to hot to touch.

          cleaning is relatively easy. to completely get all grinds out it does require a rinse. this does create issues when h20 is of low supply. i've never replaced any filters on it and i now use it every morning as a home coffee pot. it still works just as good as day one.

          my only complaint would be that if you press with to much force when it's full, it does sometimes shoot.

          all in all - a great product well worth the money. very durable and very reliable. easy to use and easy to pack, hang from your packs, or stuff away. well worth the purchase.

            Comments about Snow Peak Titanium French Press - 3 Cup:

            I have used this press almost everyday, at home and while camping, now for well over 5yrs! I have actually worn out a couple of the filters in this time, but the press itself is still in perfect shape.

            It is a french press people, there will be some grounds or sediment in the bottom. If this is a big issue, then filter the coffee through a piece of cheesecloth as you pour it into your cup (unfortunately this will take out some of the essential oils though). Still it will be one of the best cups of coffee you can make out on the trail. The only better setup would be the Aeropress. It comes at the cost of extra weight though.

            I will not repeat the good instructions for using it others have already posted. But read up on how to use a french press, and steep with a timer. If you have a cell phone, you likely have a timer on it.

            I will repeat the recommendation to use a Hario Mini Slim ceramic burr grinder. It is more compact and better made than the GSI Grinder, at only minimal additional cost. I use mine everyday too. As a bonus, it packs easier, and is lighter than the GSI grinder.

            Comments about Snow Peak Titanium French Press - 3 Cup:

            I had high hopes for this product, since I love coffee and am not a big fan of instant. Every cup of coffee I brewed had the same bad odor and taste. I tried several different brands of coffee; always the same bad odor and taste. I could not figure out what was going on. Finally, I smelled the silicone ring up close, and realized that is exactly what I am smelling and tasting in the coffee. The silicone ring is leaching into the coffee. I cannot believe all the reviews that said this product makes great coffee. They must have an older model, or like the flavor of silicone. Absolutely horrible tasting coffee. You are better of packing instant.

              Used it for 2 years and had to comment. Useful as a coffee press in the AM and boil water in a split all day. Also a great water cup. Nothing else like it in my pack. Other campers will be happy your there when you start your stove and 5 minutes later there is a hot cup of coffee to drink. Hold enough coffee for a hardcore coffee drinker to get a good morning blast. Only downside is you need a decent amount of water to clear out the grinds, other than that it is great.

                Comments about Snow Peak Titanium French Press - 3 Cup:

                Before I purchased this Coffee Press I read a few negitive reviews here on REIs site. After carefull reading the negitive reviews it became clear that the "Haters" were not press coffee drinkers. I have brewed in a Swiss made glass press everyday for over 6 years before buying this Titanium press over 3 months ago.

                At first I did have a few quite large coffee grounds getting past the press. Then I realized that my Swiss presses do not have the white nylon pre filter that this snow peak press has, so I removed the white pre-filter from the press.

                Without the white prefilter in place this press brews perfect coffee, and I have now used it over 100 days in a row, for nearly a total of 200 press-pots brewed with this Snow Peak Titanium Coffee Press. It works perfect,and I would not change a thing other that the removing the white prefilter from in front of the stainless screen.

                A couple tips to ensure absolutely no coffee grounds end up in your finished cup of coffee.

                First do not boil the water in this press...thats not how you brew press coffee! Use your Snow Peak Ti Trek 700 for boiling! Then add fresh grounds(Fair Trade Organic of course)to the dry press pot, with a pinch of sea salt from you GSI salt/pepper shaker, then add boiling water and steep for 3-5 minutes

                Second do ever use more than the 0.5 liter of water per pot, just a tiny bit over a half liter and you will end up with grounds in you cup of coffee

                Third thing that I already mentioned, remove the white pre filter that sits in front of the Stainless screen.

                I also highly recommend the Japanese Hario ceremic burr hand crank travel coffee grinder.
