Bodum Insulated Stainless-Steel Travel French Press Coffee and Tea Mug, 0.45-Liter, 15-Ounce, Green

Finally! No more hotel coffee for me!
I have used Bodum french presses for years, and it is the only coffee I like now. I was tired of drinking hotel coffee on work trips, so I bought this. It makes coffee just like at home and I love it. The mug is well made and sturdy. The lid fits nicely. The seal is great between the mug and lid. I get a little leaking from the drink spout if I shake it around, but not too bad. Even if a little coffee sloshes out, it just goes back into the mug since the drink spout is recessed. The mug keeps my coffee HOT for 2 hours and warm for about 5 hours. The mug stays completely cool to the touch. The size is great and fits my cup holders nicely without moving around. The plunger and filter are great quality. Very sturdy and easy to clean. Makes a great non-bitter cup of coffee.

Making coffee is a snap. Dump in a couple scoops of COARSE grounds, pour hot water in, stir and screw the lid on. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then depress the plunger. You can pour cream/sugar...

WONDERFUL travel press coffee tea mug
First Color. If you put things down and cannot find them, this fairly hideous color shines right out.
Second. Awesome. Easy to put about 1.5 cups worth ground coffee in cup, fill with some boiling water (I add a little cream after I start boiling water then wait about 3-4 min. Press "press" down, close the lid, and voila you will have very hot coffee or tea for about 6-7 hours. The grip keeps your fingers from burning and the outside steel seems to stay warm. Be prepared for very very hot coffee or tea for the first hour, however. I burned my tongue the first time I tried it. However, additionally there is no dribbling. It is very very tight fitting unlike other travel mugs I have used. This won is worth the price.

Did not get what I ordered!
This should have come with a regular lid as well. as shown online when i ordered it.
Had to send it back ; (

Bodum Insulated Stainless-Steel Travel French Press Coffee and Tea Mug, 0.45-Liter, 15-Ounce, Red

Two tools in one--Awesome!
Caveat: I have only owned it for a few hours (of this writing). And please excuse my grammar, I didn't graduate with an English degree.

I like the concept of combining things to get a better product. I am referring to the combination of the French press and an insulating coffee mug. When I was first introduced to the French press, I was skeptical because it was different. After trying it, I loved it because the coffee itself taste better than what I was drinking before. Once making coffee in the French press, i would then pour it to the insulated coffee mug, which keeps it warmer than a standard coffee mug of yore. It got tiresome and seemed like a chore to make, drink, and clean. I hated the wait and the mess. Now Bodum has combined the two (French press and insulated coffee mug) and I am ecstatic with it.

I like this product because of the following:

* It is convenient. There are two tools in one to make a great cup of Joe!
* It's very sexy...

Beautiful Design, Great Travel French Press
Disregard the air head who rated this 1 star... This mug is not fully leak proof due to the PRESSURE! I have no doctrine in physics, but an air tight french press, wouldn't really press. ANYWAY, love this mug, I am a professor and this thing goes with me everywhere. And if you still are insulted by the un-leak proof design, Bodum's web page even warns you THESE ARE NOT LEAK PROOF!

Great for coffee lovers
I love this French press mug. The coffee at work is horrible, so when making my coffee in the morning, I'd grind a few extra beans and put them in the mug to take with me. When it was coffee time at work, I'd simply add hot water, wait 4 minutes, and voila! Fresh, amazing coffee. Sometimes I'll use it in the morning if I'm running late--fill it up when I leave and have my coffee on the train. The other poster said that the french press screen traps the coffee...she obviously doesn't realize how a french press works, because you're supposed to push the screen down after the coffee is brewed. I found that it only traps as much liquid as there is left soaked in the beans.

Bodum Insulated Stainless-Steel Travel French Press Coffee and Tea Mug, 0.45-Liter, 15-Ounce, Black

Pretty Amazing
Bodum makes the quality items, and I genuinely prefer this press to the plastic ones. Really, there is no comparison: if you like coffee and you don't mind waiting 4 minutes for coffee, you must own this.

Great Mug
Love this mug, easy to use and coffee taste great. This thing keeps your coffee hot for a while. I don't really like that you have to put your cream and sugar in the mouth where you drink. I sit in front of a computer all day so i make a pot, put sugar and cream in cum. I pour coffee in the cup. If it broke I would buy another one.

Excellent travel french-press
This mug is great - large enough size and keeps liquids hot for a long time. The top is very spill resistant and it comes in a sleek elegant design.
