![]() ![]() Nonetheless, you can brew the P7 to maximum capacity with the lid on by simply removing the plunger mechanism from the lid prior to the start of brewing. In fact, I had trouble filling even to the “minimum” fill line in the beaker with the lid on and filter attached. With the P7, retracting the filter in this way creates perhaps 5cm+ protrusion, seriously limiting how full the press can be, particularly if you do not wish the grounds to be touched by the filter. With a conventional press, the filter protrudes below the lid only perhaps 1 cm and it is no problem to keep the lid on while brewing by simply retracting the filter into an “up” position. This innovative design is superior to a conventional flat, single filter at removing coffee bean particulate from your brew slurry, but occupies much more space in the press: The P7 has a double filter exposed to coffee both below and on the side of the plunger. You may need a trick to keep the lid on during brewing I hypothesize this is due to the insulated stainless steel walls keeping the water hotter during the brew process. ![]() The P7 seems to need about 25 percent less time to extract equivalent flavors from a given amount of coffee than a conventional glass press. It’s a big improvement over conventional french presses - producing a cleaner cup and keeping coffee hot and insulated - but you may need to substantially alter your brewing process to obtain an equivalent cup of coffee, particularly if you are a bit finicky about coffee. I make coffee using a stainless steel, double filter, 32 oz french press called the Espro P7. ![]()
