Unbreakable French press
with You cook a French Press coffee faster and greener than with any other method (Cook about 6 minutes incl. water). The result will satisfy even the biggest coffee fans. So you can choose the best coffee press, I've got the double-wall coffee maker by Ecooe (own notation: ecoone) tested thoroughly for you. Were to look at the pros and cons of the French press and decide whether she will meet your needs.

He shows a graphic illustration of the French Press on the front and back. On the right side you will find a QR code that leads to the home page of Ecooe, which offered more beverage maker.

Out of Ecooe French Press are in the package:

warranty
the manufacturer Ecooe WT & AmericanCatholic.org, without prejudice to a period of 18 months and a lifetime support. However, this information is not available on the service cards, there is only the contact information.
The price
is less than 35 euros (in December 2016) the French press coffee maker from Ecooe in the middle price segment, where we must not forget that he is made of metal and not made of glass, making it much more durable than the most other coffee maker. There are devices made of glass with the same seating capacity from 10 euros and those that are also made of anti-rust steel, from about 25-30 euros. Seen in this way, the French Press by Ecooe is cheap.
Design and equipment of the French press
the French Press weighs without coffee 0.93 kg, is 9.8 x 13 x 22 cm size and comes with two spare filters. The manufacturer recommends a coffee, to use a milk foam and one for tea. The pressing device is completely disassemble and can be washed in the dishwasher. There are no measurements inside, so you must measure the amount of water previously. The pot itself consists of double-walled stainless steel, making the coffee stays hot long, as long as the lid is not removed and so that the wide spout pointing backwards. The handle is made of black plastic and fully insulated. The design is simple and timeless in gleaming silver. The pot looks very classy, quality, has game on the edge of the pot but about 3 mm. The pot has no sharp edges. Only by the handle a subsequent tightening could be after some time probably needed. The handle is attached with Phillips-head screws and can be so screwed up and tightened inside. But, that is not necessary at the beginning, because delivery everything sufficiently firmly attached. Because the French Press but, as stable as it is built, will meet probably decades in the kitchen of dependable service, it will be surely sometime necessary.
Cleaning of the French press
is really more than just clean. Simply rinse with clear water and if you leave the coffee longer, once with water with detergent and a soft sponge wipe off and rinse after. The filter can unscrew and so very easy to rinse off. Who likes not rinse with the hand, can wash all parts in the dishwasher.
practice test
the pot is ready for making coffee, but I prefer just screwed everything apart and rinsed once. Then you again screwing everything together and go. First I tested the filling quantity and filled with exactly one liter of water. The water extends to the edge and would run over the volume of coffee, put on the lid. 900 ml are therefore better. Lack of instructions I've researched on the Internet and can provide now available the following instructions:
- get you 50 to 60 g coarsely ground coffee (normal powder coffee is necessary but also)
- Cook exactly 900 ml of water and leave it one to two minutes something cool
- filling until the coffee in the pot, followed by the approximately 95 ° c hot water a
- Once well stir everything and leave the French Press 4 to 5 minutes
- stir to you once again and you take off the upper foam
- put the lid with the stamp on the pot and wait about 20 minutes, so that the metal can expand and better includes
- you press the stamp down slowly
the pot gets hot outside during the preparation of the coffee, but the handle remains cool, so you can burn themselves do not. The advantage of glass pitchers, such as the manufacturer of Bodum, is bring any flavor. This advantage is even with this stainless steel pot, so you can enjoy pure coffee pleasure. Tip: If you like your coffee not bitter, complete the coffee in a thermos, because he "after cooking in the French Press still something", although this is minimal. If the coffee in the French Press, he remains in a drinkable temperature for about 2 hours.
Applications
in addition to the obvious use, to prepare coffee, do the cooking also fine loose tea of the French Press. Absolutely trendy, even cold brews are specialties, so cold prepared coffee. To make these, you need more coffee, which is infused with cleaned coffee about 20 grams. The whole thing can pull 10 to 12 hours. Then the stamp down pressed and decanted the cold coffee in a jug. Now, you can dilute it with crushed ice, ice cream, or cold water.
Conclusion
The stainless steel French press by Ecooe is made differently than your glass art contemporary, never broken to go. As all parts can be disassembled and may in the dishwasher, the handling is very simple. The single small weaknesses that I could find were the missing instruction manual, which is be heated exterior wall of the jug and the minimal match of the cover. Everything to get over when you consider that you probably never again must purchase a different coffee maker. Also the lifetime customer service and the replacement filters that can be used for other beverage preparations are very beautiful. I can highly recommend the French Press by Ecooe.
