French press skeptics tend to change their minds after the Espro P7. Its dual micro-filter really does strip out the silt that leaves a Bodum cup gritty by the last sip, the double-walled stainless body keeps coffee drinkable past the hour mark, and America's Test Kitchen called the result simply 'superclean.' At $150 it costs more than any other press in this lineup, and it's also the only one that pulls clarity close to a paper-filtered brew while keeping French press body.
- — Patented dual micro-filter eliminates almost all sediment for a near-pourover clarity
- — Double-walled 304 stainless steel held brewed coffee above 160 degrees F for an hour in independent testing
- — AirLock seal stops extraction the moment you plunge, preventing the over-steeped bitterness common to French press
- — At $149.95 it is roughly four times the price of a classic glass Bodum
- — Two-stage filter basket has more parts to scrub than a single-screen press
- — Opaque stainless body means you cannot watch the bloom or judge the plunge depth visually
