A durable, inexpensive press for camping and travel; buy a glass press instead if daily strength and a tight filter matter more than not breaking it.

Overview
Camping and travel drove the design of the Stansport 278, an 800ml plastic French press with a shock-resistant Tritan carafe that won't shatter the way glass can when packed or knocked around.
- 800ml capacity
- Shock-resistant Tritan carafe
- BPA free construction
- Built for camping and outdoor use
Who it's for
Works for campers, RV owners or travelers who want coffee without carrying glass. Not a good match for anyone brewing daily at home who wants a strong, sediment-free cup, or for heavy use of the handle nut, since it's soft plastic.
Pros and cons
- Won't shatter like a glass press if dropped
- Works for cold brew steeped overnight
- Easy to pack for camping trips
- Brews weaker than a glass French press for some users
- Filter screen lets more grounds through than expected
- Handle nut is soft plastic and strips if overtightened
Performance notes
You add grounds and hot water, let it steep, then press the mesh plunger down to separate grounds from coffee before pouring. The plunger screen is the limiting part: a coarser grind reduces grounds passing through, but the mesh itself is described as thin and prone to letting fines by.
