Why we love it
If your French press needs to survive a truck bed, a campsite, or three teenagers, the Stanley is your pick. The double-wall vacuum insulated stainless steel keeps coffee hot for up to four hours (or cold brew cold for nine), the 48oz capacity brews enough for a small crowd, and the whole thing is built like the thermos your grandfather had — because it basically is. The mesh filter isn't as refined as Espro or Fellow, so expect a bit more sediment, but for outdoor use and batch brewing, nothing else comes close. Every piece is dishwasher safe.
