Hotter-For-Longer French Press

Update: Initially had some issues with my coffee maker, but the customer service was very friendly and sorted it out quickly. I bought this one after I managed to break yet another glass press and got tired of looking for a replacement that I would drop again sooner or later. The Coffee Gator Coffee Maker is "just" an ordinary French press and I guess there is only so much you can expect it to do, but surprisingly I find it's often the simplest products that are plagued by poor design choices and annoying flaws. Not this one. It might be pricier than your average French press, but it's extremely robust and feels like a well-made quality product in your hands. So if you break 3 glass presses per year like me, the price point becomes relative. In the end I also like the idea of supporting a company that focuses on one thing they are passionate about and tries to do them right. Oh, and their customer service is very responsive and friendly, too. The only thing is that the small coffee canister it comes with is too tiny to be of any practical use, but I guess you can use it for sugar or something else. At least it's pretty, and it's free. Good: - Looks like it's unbreakable - Sleek design: The matte finish looks and feels great - Insulated walls keep coffee warm: mine was still hot after 10 minutes - Easy to pour, no dripping - No silt in my cup so far - the mesh keeps the coffee sludge where it should be - Very easy to clean Bad: - Nothing really

Excellent product in every way. My canister did not arrive and COFFEE GATOR were quick to send me one. 10/10 for customer service. I have followed the coffee making suggestions which came with the product and the results are amazing. After using a large variety of cafetieres for a few decades, I didn't think I could learn anything new, but alas, the coffee IS better, smoother. The coffee remains very hot even after an hour. In terms of ability to hold heat, this is the best insulating cafetiere I have ever owned. I was also reluctant to buy an American product as my experience of coffee in the USA left a lot to be desired (I have been to the USA hundreds of times as I was an aircrew member for 30 years). It is robust and heavier than some other cafetieres but I do not mind that as I like the sturdy feel of it. Design wise, it is beautiful. I went for the very dark grey. Love the alligator logo. The Gator Cafetiere is an outstanding product. I know it will serve me for many years to come.

Thought I had left review, amazon yet to put it in, don't know why. So here it is. Arrived on time, despite delivery man dropping through side window to entrance way and hitting the floor 5 ft below, NO damage whatsoever, 1st surprise. 2nd suprise, opening box cafetiere looks as good as pictures suggest. 3rd surprise, once I put hot water in to warm metal inner, then put coffee in and waiting 3 mins, poured(nice smooth pour) into mug, lovely taste, hardly any sediment left, 2nd cup 25 mins. later, STILL hot, perfect, just the way I like it. Easy cleaned and ready for next mug. Sturdy, stylish, produces coffee the way it should do, hot and full of flavour. What more do you need? Highly recommend.

This is a lovely cafetiere with a double filter - easy to use, keeps coffee hot, and looks good. Until now. After years of a stainless steel model I wanted to try this as it looks so smart in dark grey - it's tactile to hold and l loved the look of it but after one month of use (and careful cleaning) the coating is starting to come off at the base and I suspect that'll work its way up. So knocked one star off for that, otherwise an excellent piece of kit - but next time I'll go back to stainless steel, despite the fingerprint problem!

Quality product, good size , keeps warm, double filtered so u get a nice clean coffee ,easily cleaned . Well built so should last

I am very impressed with this cafetiere. I've been using a cheap plastic one and to be fair it has been very good but it cracked at the bottom so I needed a new one because I love my coffee. I ruled out the glass ones for obvious reasons and chose this one. It really is very good and I am impressed with the quality and it looks good on my worktop. I can get 2 mugs filled to the max line and it stays hot for about an hour. I love the little mini container though I'm unsure what to use it for as it is very small. I'm now looking at the Gator containers and will be buying some in the near future.

its a fn great cafetiere. makes very smooth black coffee for its price. hand wash it in warm water as i do & it'll last for ever.

Bought this to replace the glass cafeteria that my husband broke! It is great in so many ways- Coffee tastes good Keeps hot (a bonus for me) Easily two large mugs Easy to pour Easy to clean Looks great Sturdy construction

Riktigt bra, men kunde hållt värmen lite längre.

Canadians love Coffee Gator!!! An amazing product which delivers on its promise. After breaking 3 glass presses, we have finally found this amazing press which is not only durable, but produces refined coffee with its double filter and stainless steel design- also keeping your coffee piping hot! Do not hesitate. You won’t be disappointed. And it looks great on your counter too!

Gran aspecto en calidad y diseño, con la ventaja de no romperse, como sucedió con la anterior de vidrio, y con alguna ventaja adicional, como conservar mejor el calor gracias al aislamiento de doble pared del vaso. Por último, el detalle extra del recipiente a juego para guardar café molido.

Old review is below and pictures removed. Coffee Gator has completely taken care of my damaged unit and is sending a replacement. I suspect Amazon's QA let it slip through the cracks, and not Coffee Gator. I will update this review when I finally make some coffee- but this product deserves 5 stars alone just based on the customer service interactions. They make a quality product and stand by it 100%. ============================================================================================= Possibly got an overstock Item, possibly preused. Mine arrived with many scratches and gouges in the paint, on both the French press and accessory stoage container. The box looked preopened. Design preference wise, the screen makes an unpleasant sound against the inside wall, probably not a functionally bad thing, just sounds bad. Also the paint feels like sandpaper, it feels unpleasant to touch. The pictures make it look smooth. I'm sure it functionally works well, many people here like it, and I bought it based on those reivews, just not the best QC. This could be an issue on Amazon's end and not the manufacturer. Despite the scratches and screen rubbing noise I'd probably keep it if the unit felt good to touch, which it doesn't, feels like sandpaper. They should make the paint similar to the Klean Kanteen bottles, thick and smooth, they could even make it matter finish instead of glossy. I really wanted to like this, but unfortunately I'll be returning this. I'm sure it makes good coffee though.
