Thanks, good to know! Appreciate your advice.

Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed response, I was looking at a system like this and it seems like it would fit the bill. A three filter system would probably look impressive enough to my wife that she wouldn't bug me about it too much, lol.

Thank you, appreciate your input.

Glad I didn’t put a Rolex in the photo too, you’d have really raked me over the coals.

What exactly happened to them? I’ve had good luck with the brand, my wife has bought a lot of their cups (she gave me that one). I also have some of the old can coolers I won in a contest at work 10 years ago and those things are amazing, rock solid and really keep a can cold.

You’re clearly a person of class and grace, thanks.

Thanks for your insightful comment.

Mine's going strong after 7 years, I think it will last many, many more.

I've been down this road. I grew up drinking percolated coffee, then when I moved out on my own I bought a drip pot. Replaced it with a Keurig and bought a Keurig for work. Got tired of how expensive K cups were then moved back to drip. Messed around with a lot of different types of beans and grinders and such, got really into that. Then I discovered French press and tried probably 25 brands of coffee (all preground now, I don't have the time to grind myself anymore and deal w/ making French press). I've settled on Primos brand medium ground and that's what I use now.

French press is not hard, it's just a bit of work and requires some attention.

My old lady gave me the Yeti for Xmas actually, so I just went with it.

I went with this particular one because it had excellent reviews. One of the biggest things I didn't like about the French press I had before was that the filter would not always form a good seal and grounds would not all get pushed down. I specifically wanted to avoid that issue. Several reviews I saw indicated that this one did not have that issue, which I can confirm it does not.

I just scoop out as much as I can with a spoon then I put some water in it to loosen up any grounds that are still stuck. I have a little plastic cup that I cut the bottom out of and glued a French press filter onto after plugging the hole in the middle, so the water drains out into the sink and I can whack the cup on the inside of the garbage can to get the grounds out. There are usually just a few left after a couple of whacks and I don't mind washing those down the sink.

My dad was a boilermaker who did shutdowns at paper mills and we also farmed. I still have his old green Stanley thermos that he always used for coffee. It's dented and scratched, but still works great after over 40 years of abuse.

I know, I have heard those stories too. The ice did melt though, and most of the water evaporated. The lid was basically molten plastic and most of it dropped into the water and was still there when he got it back.

A buddy of mine had one with ice water in his beater truck when the truck caught fire. The whole interior burned up and the lid melted a good bit, but he put the cup in a dishwasher and got a new lid. It looked brand new after.

Yes, it’s very well made. I love how the top where the rod slides through to press is sealed so water doesn’t get in there when you wash it. I also feel safer putting this in the dishwasher.

I've been considering buying a larger one also for when my wife or guests want coffee, this looks like a great option with a 44 oz size. Thanks for the recommendation!

It’s very reasonably priced, I think I paid less than $30 for it.
