Overview
The Bodum Travel Press is a 15 ounce vacuum insulated stainless steel mug that doubles as a French press, letting someone brew coffee or tea directly into the cup they drink from.
The pitch is convenience over a full French press plus a separate travel mug, brew, plunge and go rather than transfer between containers. Bodum notes the extra non-press lid sold with some versions is no longer included with this one, so buyers should not expect a second lid in the box. It replaced an earlier plastic version of the same idea for several reviewers whose plastic mugs cracked under heat.
- 15 oz vacuum insulated stainless steel body
- Built in plunger with mesh filter
- Silicone non-slip grip band
- Dishwasher safe
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
The insulation draws consistent praise, with reviewers surprised coffee stays hot for an hour or more after plunging, and several switched to this stainless version after a plastic Bodum press cracked from heat. A recurring caveat is that the lid does not seal completely dry, so a few owners warn against packing it full and sealed in a bag.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Keeps coffee hot for one to two hours after brewing
- Wide mouth makes cleaning the filter and lid easy
- Stainless build survives heat better than the plastic version some owners previously had
- No spare non-press lid included
- Lid is not fully leak proof, not meant to be packed sealed and full
Performance notes
The double wall vacuum construction keeps coffee hot for one to two hours after plunging by multiple accounts, well past what a single wall mug manages. The press itself works like a standard French press, add coarse grounds and hot water, wait around four minutes, then plunge, and the wide opening makes rinsing the mesh filter and inner lid straightforward.
