Secura French Press Silver
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Secura 34-oz insulated press combines double-wall stainless steel construction with a 3-layer filter and extra screens for excellent heat retention and filtration. Its opaque design and heavy weight may be drawbacks for users who prefer visual brewing. Suited for users needing durable, high-capacity brewing with strong 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.
