My New Mini Coffee Press

FINALLY A 1-CUP SERVING


coffee french press.jpg

I've started putting my coffee through a french press. Normally I'd just put the coffee in the cup, pour in hot water and wait for the granules to settle. It meant I also didn't drink all the coffee since I'd be drinking granules too. It also meant I couldn't make coffee to go, since the granules would ruin my coffee flask - or at least require me to clean the flask before a refill.

I had a press before but it was quite large and meant for making up to 4 cups of coffee. It's ideal for when friends or family come over and I make coffee for everyone. I know I could just pour one cup into it and make a quarter of the capacity, yes, but the press is so large and doesn't fit under my hot water dispensing kettle. Want more excuses? 😂

I once found a mini press like this one in PoundLand but it broke while I was trying to wash it prior to first use. You get what you pay for you see. I was glad to come across this one at Morrisons for only £4.25. The glass felt a lot less fragile when I examined it so I was quite confident it wouldn't break like the PoundLand one. It didn't. I've since made dozens of one-cup coffees using this press. It fits nicely under my kettle so I don't have to transfer the water from a cup. Good stuff.

I also noticed Morrisons is selling this on Amazon (UK). If your shopping is over £60 total, you get free same day delivery in selected areas. It also works out a little cheaper. Other than that, I can't find anything near this price anywhere online or offline. I think I got a great deal.

Peace & Love,

Adé

I was using one like that at my mum's the other day. Generally I use my Aeropress that is ideal for one cup and really easy to clean. They are not so cheap, but I've used mine many hundreds of times. Those glass pots can be a bit fragile.

Yes they are fragile. Even this one, I'm being really careful when I clean it. The PoundLand one, the bottom just detached along a crack. Really poor product. This one is at least more solid.
