Bodum Travel Press
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Bodum Travel Press is a dual-function French press and vacuum-insulated travel mug that keeps a single cup hot for at least two hours, making it ideal for commuters and campers. Its limitations include a single-cup capacity and the need for coarse grounds, which can be inconvenient for some users. Best suited for solo travelers who value portability and heat retention.
Bialetti's Preziosa 3-Cup French Press blends stainless steel with a borosilicate glass carafe, providing a solid 350 ml brew with clear cup markings. The plastic handle's markings can fade and the small capacity may not suit larger households. Suited for small kitchens or single users who appreciate Italian design and sturdy build.
