MIRA Stainless Steel French Press Review
I’m getting everything set for our yearly Yosemite Camping trip; 1st thing in the supply kit? My, MIRA stainless steel french press
The french press
I like my coffee strong so I use almost a full heaping 3 tablespoons to the bottom of the empty press. Then add hot water, until the pot is approximately 2/3 full. Next step, stir your ground coffee and water. Place the french press plunge lid on top; turn once to close the lid. Let your coffee set for 3 to 4 minutes. Since the press is double walled insulated the coffee stays hot while it’s brewing. Like I said, I like stronger coffee so I let mine set for the full 4 minutes. Then slowly push the plunger down. The handle of the press doesn’t get hot! That’s a bonus.
When you pour out your coffee, you will have a perfect cup of coffee with absolutely no coffee grounds. Just a real rich full bodied cup of coffee. If you have never tried coffee from a french press, you are missing out. Coffee made with a french press is richer and more full bodied than any k-cup you can get.
Since the MIRA French Press is stainless steel it’s perfect for traveling, and especially on camping trips. When you tent camp you need items that are strong and this press fits the bill. Not to mention it’s so easy to use. I promise a great cup of french press coffee out in the middle of a campsite is heavenly!
This is also a must have addition to our earth quake preparedness kit. Electricity goes out and there goes my k-cup machine! Trust me, you don’t want to see me without my coffee! Earthquake or camping! I need my coffee!! I’ll especially need it after an earthquake! Not to mention after sleeping on the ground for a week!

A full bodied, rich cup of coffee. With a double-walled, insulated interior, this pot will keep its contents hot for up to 2 hours. What could I possibly whine about? And it looks great too!!

I have never used a French press. I know a lot of coffee fans really swear by them.

My daughter uses hers all the time. She really does swear by hers.

I really like the stainless steel French presses. The glass ones break so easily and I think I went through at least five of them before finally getting a steel one.

I’ve never used a press before so I appreciate the instructions. A coffee press would definitely be nice for coffee drinkers during camping trip.

I have many variations of french presses, they are divine. This one looks substantial enough to take camping, thanks for the idea!

I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but my Mom can’t get up without her coffee, lol. We’ve never tried a French Press before, but it looks like something worth trying out.

Wow, I had always thought how great it would be to have a French press to impress guests and make them feel pampered as a luxury – it never occurred to me to make it a camping item. Now I want one even more!!!
