The better coffee maker

We all love our hot drinks. It's nice to sit at home and enjoy a freshly made cup of coffee or tea. A very popular option in the last few years has been the French press which replaces the conventional coffee maker making it easier, quicker, and tastier to make your favourite drink. The logical next step: the portable French press.

The ultimate portable French press

Planetary Design has developed a wonderfully adaptable stainless steel and unbreakable portable french press. The Double Shot is constructed of 18/8 restaurant grade stainless steel and comes with two separate lids (their patented plunger lid and a drinking lid). The best part about the Double Shot - the hidden compartment contained in the bottom of the mug. Just pull this compartment out and store your coffee grounds or tea bags right inside. This way you can make your drink whenever the urge kicks in. Even better, the bottom of the Double Shot fits nicely into your car's drink holder. Can it get any better than that?

So why use a French press?

  1. Simplicity: Add your coffee grounds or even tea leaves, add some hot water, let steep and plunge. There's no filter required.
  2. Taste: The problem with filter coffee machines is that the filter sucks up the aromatic essential oils. As a result, coffee made with filtered coffee machines are less flavourful than those made with French presses.
  3. Portability: Planetary Design makes portable french presses that can hold from 14- to 20-ounce drinks. If you're having a bunch of people over for a gathering though, don't despair. Planetary Design makes french presses that can hold up to 48 oz. of coffee. Want your guests to leave? Break out your filter coffee machine.
  4. Reduction of waste: Not only do you get a delicious cup of coffee but you're not wasting disposable coffee cups at your local drive-thru coffee shop.
