Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Primula 6-Cup Glass Coffee Press, Black
Customer Review: Not a bad press for the money
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought one of these, I cannot complain about the price or the quality of the coffee. But it is pretty cheaply made. First, I had to spend a bit of time bending the strainer assembly so it was on the plunger straight and did not bind or let coffee grounds get past the screen. OK, no biggie. But then one day, while washing it of course, the glass carafe slipped out of the plastic frame and landed in the sink with a crash. S#!t, among other expletives as I recall. So I bought a Bonjour Hugo 8 cup "unbreakable" press, which has it's own demons but will not break into a thousand pieces if I drop it in the sink. I did keep the strainer assembly out of the Primula though, thinking it might come in handy for something one of these days. Maybe sooner than I expect given the track record of the strainers in the Bonjour press failing.
So buy one but be mindful that the glass carafe is NOT held in the plastic frame very securely and will slip out if you invert it while holding it by the handle.
Description of Primula 6-Cup Glass Coffee Press, Black
Modern design french press consists of a narrow cylindrical glass jug, equipped with a lid and a stainless plunger, which fits tightly in the cylinder glass beaker and which has a fine wire mesh acting as a filter. Coffee is brewed by placing the coffee and water together, leaving to brew for a few minutes, then depressing the plunger to trap the coffee grinds at the bottom of the glass jug. A French press requires coffee of a more coarse grind than that used for a drip brew coffee filter, such as produced by a burr mill grinder rather than the whirling blade variety, as a finer grind will seep through the press filter and into the coffee. Because the coffee grounds remain in direct contact with the brewing water and the grinds are filtered from the water via a mesh instead of a paper filter, coffee brewed with the French press captures more of the coffee's flavour and essential oils, which would become trapped in a traditional drip brew machine's paper filters. French pressed coffee is usually stronger and thicker and has more sediment than drip-brewed coffee.French Presses
