From The Manufacturer

For decades, hand made french pressed coffee is simply the best at brewing the purest cup of coffee espresso or tea. Its classic method effectively extracts any coffee bean or loose leaf tea essential oils, delivering bold unique flavor directly to your cup, that is otherwise lost in paper filters. Smart Barista’s know the foundation of a great cup of coffee starts with a reliable & well built coffee expresso tea press. Plunger and filter parts constructed with flimsy plastic & rubber are destine to fail. So we designed a 3 piece stainless steel infuser filter system ensuring taste-free parts so nothing comes between you & your fresh coffee beans. Also, a poor frame design with brittle glass will likely lead to accidental cracks with typical everyday use. These conditions is the difference whether you enjoy your french press for a few months or for many years to come. The fun modern design is inspired by top Baristas from around the world that demand durability & style. Our high quality generous 8 cup size teapot is uniquely made from borosilicate glass, making it resistant to thermal shock, great for an RV camper. We have taken extra care by thoughtfully wrapping the large pot with our protective design to minimize breakage but not at the expense of its looks. Our exciting tea espresso coffee press maker collection will absolutely lively-up any kitchen counter. During summer, these versatile coffee makers can brew cold iced coffee & ice tea. Discover the hidden flavors in your favorite coffee whole bean.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The Kona French press comes with a 3 piece stainless steel filter: no plastic ever comes in contact with your brew while steeping and can’t therefore affect the coffee flavor.
The three-piece filter system works well and comes apart easily for cleaning. The pot is also easy to clean.
The insulated, protective frame of this press gives it a bit of artistic character. It’s available in black or red, and gives a little extra protection to the borosilicate glass.
- Roasty
If you want a coffee pitcher that’s easy to pour, this Kona French press has a specially designed handle. This is meant to be comfortable and very easy to use when pouring out your hot brew.
The chamber is actually a borosilicate glass coffee pitcher that is resistant to heat and is extra thick.
If you are looking for the best overall, I recommend the KONA French Press because it features stainless steel, detachable components for easy cleaning and a “shell” design to reduce the chance of glass breakage.
Additionally, the customer service is superb, and delivery was fast with the product in perfect condition.

What reviewers didn't like

What I don’t like is that the coffee can get cold quickly in the pot
The glass is thinner than expected, so watch out for cracking.
Glass if fixed to the holder, can’t clean those parts well
The product’s lid, according to various consumers could be more secure. They said if you don’t apply a bit of force on the lid when you’re spilling your drink, it strength spill out.
