Our verdict

A well insulated single serve French press for on the go coffee, best suited to lighter coffee doses rather than a full, strong brew.

Overview

The Bodum Travel French Press is a 0.35 liter, 12 ounce stainless steel mug with a built in plunger, a silicone and mesh filter, and a vacuum sealed double wall that keeps drinks hot while staying cool to the touch outside.

It is meant for brewing a single serving directly in the cup you drink from, which is the appeal for buyers who want French press coffee without a separate carafe. Several long term owners flag a specific design limit: the plunger stem does not reach quite far enough down to fully press grounds when using a fuller, stronger dose of coffee, leaving some sediment or trapped grounds near the bottom.

  • 0.35 liter / 12 ounce capacity
  • Double wall vacuum insulated steel
  • Non-skid rubber base
  • Adjustable flow screw in the lid

Who it's for

Suits commuters and travelers who want single serve French press coffee or loose leaf tea that stays hot for hours. Less suited to buyers who brew a strong, full dose of coffee grounds, since the plunger may not fully clear them.
