Who it's for
Good for someone making a single cup of coffee at a time, or who wants a compact press for a desk or small kitchen. Not suited to anyone wanting to brew for two or more people in one round.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers who bought the copper version call it durable after years of daily use and say it makes a good cup. The recurring complaint is that '3 cup' is misleading, it holds roughly 12 oz, closer to one large mug, and one buyer's frame arrived visibly distorted.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact size for single servings
- Copper finish is distinct from standard steel
- Simple to clean after use
- Holds about 12 oz despite the '3 cup' name
- Frame quality can vary between units
- Not for brewing multiple servings at once
