Fellow Clara Coffee Press Coffee Maker Walnut Accents

This press looks handsome and feels good in the hand, but it's the functional refinements that really make it shine. I've long loved French Press style coffee. I've made it at home for years, using various devices - including the most popular types, it seems. They make good coffee, but the glass ones can break pretty easily and they don't keep your coffee very hot. The double-walled metal varieties mostly fix the 'breaks easy' and 'keep hot' parts, but all of these more traditional systems that I've seen use a plunger with three parts down at the business end of things and all that needs to get disassembled and cleaned regularly - and that's frankly a hassle. The Fellow Clara has replaced that mess with one integrated unit that screws onto the end of the plunger. With a soapy brush, it cleans easily, thoroughly, and in a jiffy. There is nothing to disassemble. That integrated screening/filtering unit is surrounded with what appears to be a ribbed silicone ring (which is also integral to the single filtering assembly - I'm describing just an important aspect of it, here). It fits perfectly, works like a gasket, and is very effective at keeping grit out of your finished brew. The double, very fine screen filters embedded in the filtering assembly play a large role in that, too. All together, it's by far the most effective filtering I've ever had with a French Press - and it is simultaneously by far the easiest to clean. That takes virtually all of the hassle out of making French Press coffee. The carafe keeps the coffee very hot for a long time - much longer than my other double-walled unit. And you can just let the coffee sit, pressed down to the bottom, while you pour from this one vessel for .. something like two hours, maybe more .. while it stays quite hot and doesn't grow bitter or over-brewed from contact with the grounds. Take it all together and this is a truly excellent French Press. Note that it's only about a 4 cup capacity or so. Great for one or two people on a morning, but you'll make multiple batches if you want more brew. Fortunately, that's a cinch with this product.

This portable French press is a game-changer for anyone who loves coffee on the go. First of all, the design is sleek and modern with a matte black finish that is both stylish and functional. The 24 oz carafe is the perfect size for a morning cup of coffee, and the insulated stainless steel keeps it warm for hours.The enhanced filtration system in this French press is a standout feature. It ensures that every cup of coffee is smooth and free of any unwanted sediment. I appreciate that I don't have to worry about grit or grounds in my coffee, even when I'm camping or traveling.Speaking of travel, the Fellow Clara Coffee Press is incredibly portable. It's lightweight and compact, making it easy to take on the go. Whether I'm hiking, camping, or just heading to work, I can always have a fresh cup of coffee with me.Finally, I want to mention the quality of the coffee that this French press produces. The coffee is rich and flavorful, and I love that I can control the strength by adjusting the amount of coffee and water that I use.Overall, I highly recommend the Fellow Clara Coffee Press Coffee Maker to anyone who loves great coffee and wants a portable, high-quality French press. It's stylish, functional, and makes an amazing cup of coffee every time.

Love this French press! Easy to use and to clean. Makes perfect coffee every time. Seems to make just under 4 cups worth. The look of it is beautiful and it is amazing quality.

I purchased the Clara French Press in black about a year ago and have been using it at least 4x a week. I have only hand washed it. It has given me countless cups of coffee and there's a few things to note:PROS:- Brewed coffee stays hot / warm for hours. I have gone back to pour a cup of coffee 4hrs after the initial brew and it's still steaming. I put the whole press in the fridge over night thinking i'll have ice coffee in the morning and it was still lukewarm after 8+hrs in the fridge.- Really aesthetically pleasing to have out on the counter. It feels a bit bulky, but that's the side effect of how good the insulation is.- Super easy to clean. I scrape out 85% of the ground using the wooden spoon it comes with and get the last 15% with a paper towel or quick rinse. The coating used on the inside also makes it super easy to clean any oil build up. The filter piece does not unscrew from the lid, but I have found no issue hand cleaning it.- Very good at filtering out grounds. Only leaves behind very fine silt that it plenty easy to avoid.CONS:- MESSY. Something must be wrong with the design of the spout, but I have never gotten a clean pour out of the press. There's drips down the side if your half-fill or underfill the press. It POURS down the side if you slightly overfill it. Your counters will have coffee on them every time you use this press.- I bought this press largely for the visual indicators of water level and coffee level, but these are basically unusable. It's hard to get the right lighting and angle to see the coffee line and the water line is kind of a no brainer. I feel a bit silly for valuing this so much initially.- The paint begun to chip after about 8-months of use. Unfortunate, but doesn't effect the use at all.No regrets, but also would re-buy or gift to someone looking for a french press.
