This sleek and durable French press has a triple-layered filter structure to banish the sediment, but allows all of the flavors and oils to journey freely into your cup for a full-bodied result magical enough to transport you to your favorite European cafe, according to reviewers. The brand notes that the durable, double-layer stainless steel coffee maker also keeps your brew hot for an hour longer than thinner steel and glass versions. And, the large capacity holds 34 ounces to fuel your whole group (or, you know, just yourself — no judgment).

As a bonus, it also comes with a matching travel canister that holds enough beans or grounds for two batches, a two-for-one deal that also helps you save storage space. But it’s not just good for coffee: Use it to make tea, hot chocolate, cold brew, frothed milk, nut milk, fruit infusions, or whatever you dream up. And, as an added bonus, all of the parts are dishwasher safe.
