Bobble BTC000100E006HGB French Coffee Press and Insulated Stainless Steel, Black

What a product! If I could this would be a 6/5. Functionally, the limited back flow, makes it extremely useful when making loose leaf tea. I've tried green and mint tea and it has been exceptional. The retention of heat is phenomenal, with coffee staying at a temperature that is close to molten for over 2hrs. My only want for this product is a matt black version, as this will enable me to take it on my Specials Ops missions, the current gloss black can be picked up by enemy search lights.

Very useful for getting fresh coffee quickly and prices well below coffee shops

I purchased a red one and withing a week the grip pain around the sides was coming off on my hand, leaving red on fingers etc. I have only ever washed this by hand and never used a dishwasher. Many people have the black version and that seems fine. It's a damn good coffee fileter/cafetier insulated mug though, and would recommend getting one. I'll just have to live with the grip paint coming off as the supplier would not replace it with a non-faulty version, they just wanted to give a full refund once I returned it. As I wanted to keep it that was not an option. I did suggest they (the Friendly lifestyle store) send a new one to me and I would return the faulty one to them for their analysis. But there's never been a reply to that suggestion, so I'll just have to live with it. So, don't by a red one. ;)

Does exactly what was promised. I do not feel any weir taste from the lid or other silicone parts. Easy to use and the design is very nice. Edit: the "pattern" on the mug is coming off after two weeks. It seems that the paint got soft (sticky) and then rubs off. Still functions well but for 30 Pounds the quality should be better.

This is a fantastic product. But after a couple years, the rubber gasket will turn into a wet rubbery dissolving mess and you wouldn't want to use it at that point. Point deducted because Bobble do not sell replacement rubber gaskets which are the undisclosed "consumable" of this stainless steel coffee press system. If they did sell replacements, then you might use the press for perhaps decades.
