Nice and light, smaller than I expected, think of it as a mini press. It will make a nice cup of coffee but it has trouble pouring cleanly. Consider it great for backcountry missions, but poor for replacing your base camp coffee system.

Will make two cups of coffee- not more. Has one more filter than the bodum models, like a prefilter, which does a great job of keeping grounds out of your cup and also renders the rest of the filter elements more easy to clean. To pour cleanly:
1) Rotate the lid so that the small heat vent is on the handle side of the press.
2) Use the thumb of the hand holding the press to pull back gently on the rim of the lid, causing it to lift slightly. If you've let the coffee brew for 4 minutes (as recommended), then you won't get burned.

It's very easy to do and remember (it's a natural-feeling motion) and it will pour as cleanly as any other press.

My brother broke my glass press, and I replaced it with this one because I figured he'd be hard pressed to do the same with titanium. I combine this with a small hand grinder for incredible fresh coffee anywhere. It's durable, light, and fairly packable. Great for cabins, camping, backpacking, traveling, or just at home. The fact that I can boil water in the press is a huge bonus, it makes for one less container to carry. It's a little pricey, but high quality and so far seems to be indestructable. Recommended.

Took a group of scouts on a 50 miler -- this coffee press kept both adults sane! Lightweight, works great! A couple of grounds in the cup, but not enough to be an issue.

I have a glass french press for my home and this one is a great score for all camping excursions. I even used it on a few overnight biking tours because its so light, you don't even know its there. And its user friendly. Just boil water in it(I use a packable camping stove), add coffee, wait a few minutes and press. Great coffee anywhere! If you bring friends you may have to make more than one pot, but it boils water in no time.

If you derive inordinate pleasure from French/Brazil press fresh coffee in the forest, this extreme light weight instrument is for you. Simply fill the single-walled Titanium graduated carafe (0.5 liter / 3 cups) with water, place over stove until boiling, add fresh ground coffee, allow to steep several minutes, press down with stainless steel plunger, serve piping. Life is good. I have used this about 30 times over the past year and it's held up well. Since it has graduation markings, I also use it as a measuring cup while cooking other food. Primo quality product made in Japan.

I gave this as a gift to my girlfriend and we had a chance to break it in over New Year's in Big Bend National Park. We did a nice moderate 15-mile round trip overnight. This fancy little deal worked great. Always nice to wake up to a warm cup of jo. The filter kept most coffe grounds out. The spout to pour from is a little under-sized. Otherwise... supurb product.

lightweight, easy to use, and makes yummy coffee. A must have...tote it over to your favorite rock to watch the sunrise.

Made it 4 year into college with out this drug, I'm on the 7 year plan and now the work load desires artificial stimulation in order to complete it. This little bugger is hella durable and super simple and makes great coffee. I would strongly recommend it for its sturdiness and durability besides the fact the internal aspects are super strong in the quality aspect.
