We really enjoy our French press. Following the simple instructions is a must. The cacao aroma filling the kitchen is marvelous. Highly recommend the press as well as all the CRIO BRU brewing product line!!!

I

have never used a French press before it makes for nice filter for your cacao. I stir it after I add my hot water and add in the press without pressing it. I let it seep for 15 minutes or more. Then I press it down slowly let it cool down and place it in my refrigerator until it's time for me to go to work.

This French Press is not only elegant, it is made of exceptional quality. I love that there isn't any plastic like others on the market. I highly recommend it. It also makes a special wedding gift paired with Crio Bru.

I purchased this stainless steel 34oz press several years ago and loved it. The glass finally broke (through misuse - no hard feelings there) and I decided to replace it with exactly the same thing.

Except it’s not. I purchased on 2/25/25 and received a 32oz press with mostly plastic parts. (I don’t care much about the 34 vs 32 oz, but it is different.) The black parts in my attached picture are plastic, all the shiny silver parts (except the screen and center shaft) are plastic. The base wobbles. The construction is much cheaper and after using for two months, I can say it doesn’t strain as well and isn’t as easy to clean.

As of writing this (5/2/25) the website still shows pictures of the older, better, stainless steel model, and the description still says 34oz and “made with the very best materials - the press is made with high grade stainless steel…” This is no longer true. The plastic one I received isn’t BAD… it’s just not as described, and not worth the price being charged.

.......I really wish is had measurement marks (graduations) on the glass. Other than that, no issues. Easy to clean.
