OVENTE French Press Coffee Maker 20 Ounce with Heat Resistant Borosilicate Glass

Overview

A 20-ounce French press with a borosilicate glass carafe wrapped in a stainless steel frame, using a 4-part filter (mesh filter, spring disk, cross plate, and final screen) to strain grounds. Comes with a 7-gram measuring spoon and a 1-year warranty.

Ovente positions this as a coffee brewer, but several reviewers use it just as often for loose leaf tea, yerba mate, or cacao nibs, and the 20-ounce size works for both. One recurring complaint is that the lid's interior is plastic, which undercuts the all-metal-and-glass look the exterior promises.

• 20-ounce borosilicate glass carafe
• Stainless steel outer frame and handle
• 4-level filtration: mesh, spring disk, cross plate, screen
• 1-year warranty from Ovente

Who it's for

Suits anyone wanting an inexpensive, sturdy press for coffee, tea, or steeped drinks like mate, especially as a backup to a pricier press. Not the pick for someone who wants every part touching liquid to be glass or metal, since the lid interior is plastic.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Buyers consistently called it sturdy for the price and praised how cleanly the filter strains grounds, with several using it for loose leaf tea or yerba mate rather than coffee. The main complaint was that the lid's interior is plastic despite the glass-and-steel build, and one buyer noted the mesh plunger stops short of the carafe's bottom, though another dismissed that as normal for a press this size.

Performance notes

The 4-level filter, mesh, spring disk, cross plate, and final screen, is what keeps grounds out of the cup, and reviewers confirm it strains cleanly even for finer grounds like cacao nibs. The plunger does not reach the very bottom of the glass, which one buyer flagged as a flaw and another called a non-issue since it only leaves about half an inch unpressed.
