Yep, same with the one I have. Except mine was painted black and has been slowly losing paint over the last seven years since I bought it.

Don’t start this again!

I’m like, “how does he have my bathroom curtains hands towels?”

(I can’t tell from the pic of the color is blue or black, mine are blue.)

Ahh, that's a good point. I should've drank coffee before making my neckbeard "well, actuallypushes glasses up on sweaty nose"

Do they not insulate these? I have insulated stainless bottles that will keep liquids hot or cold for many hours.

I have the müeller version but it looks exactly the same! After my roommate broke two glass french presses, this one has lasted more than a week, months even!

Water loses heat faster in metal vs glass , actually. It isn't a significant difference, but metal is one of the best conductors of heat. Aka, it pumps the heat outside to the environment, which results in the water losing heat faster.

Can confirm. 3 continents, 15-ish years old. Still perfect condition. Awesome little thing.

This is amazing and a testament to how she took pride in her appliances by keeping this functioning all this time.

You're probably better off getting a separate thermos and transferring the coffee to that as soon as it's brewed. I have a 16oz stainless vacuum flask that is just about the perfect size. One cup of coffee goes in me, the rest goes in the thermos.

I'd imagine that a vacuum press would lose heat a lot faster because of the wider top (more metal to conduct heat up out of the vacuum chamber), and also through evaporative losses (steam escaping from the pour spout). The press + thermos solution is also cheaper.

Been using one for like six years. I now get these big empty tea bag things that I fill with the coffee. Way less sludge in the coffee, also very quick clean up. Worth the ten cents each day.

I didn't realize it was insulated. I see the appeal in that.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but I did have a problem at one point with the plunger and filter assembly getting overtightened. Since the top knob and filter screen are both threaded onto the rod, every time I tried to remove the screen I unscrewed the knob instead.

A little bit of red loctite (the permanent stuff) on the top knob will put an end to that problem,

>The reviews for mine said it loses heat too quickly for a good cup of coffee

You can preheat the press with some hot water. I do it with whatever I'm using to brew, my mugs, etc., including my glass pourover brewer.

2018? That’s nothing! I have had my all stainless Bodum French Press since 2006! I have replaced the plunger/screen part once, but it has otherwise kicked ass for that entire time, daily.

I once cut my head doing laundry. I find ways of breaking the French press lol

I have these sheets and love them, very high quality!

My favorite quilts are by Levtex. They are a bit pricey, but you can get them from Kohl's when they are on sale and you have a coupon. I have dogs, so I always buy two of everything. It makes laundry day a lot easier.

I also use only flannel sheets. They are 100% cotton and help in the winter AND the summer. They are by Cuddl Duds, also being sold by Kohl's. I only shop these items when they are on sale.

Great for camping too

What hotel collection did you go with?

The thing I love the most about my stainless steel press is that I can take it camping without worrying about random leaks or the inevitable shattering. The reviews for mine said it loses heat too quickly for a good cup of coffee, but I disagree (or maybe I have no taste lol). I used to measure the coffee I put in visually through the glass, so that’s a bit more difficult, but it’s a small price to pay

For real. I’ve got mine made of stainless and it’s nice to think of never having to buy a French press again. The years and money I’ve spent on the cheap glass ones, only to eventually shatter them in a poof of clumsy, made me buy this. Do not regret.

STJÄRNSTARR (had to copy and paste this one) Cool Duvet from Ikea.

I'm under one right now and I'm positive my external parts are at triple digits when I sleep. This one is cool enough in the summer where I can cover myself with it with a foot or arm out and I'm comfortable at night.

But in the winter, I throw a linen duvet cover on it and also pair it with my Pendleton, and drop the temp in the house in the low 60's and I'm snug as a bug.

I’ve never been able to make a good coffee with a French press. Just tastes like coffee flavoured water. I like those Italian stove top coffee makers better.

That's my one, too! Love it.
