ESPRO designed a coffee press specifically with travelers in mind, and it’s glorious. If you’re anything like us, you can’t go without your coffee. When you’re on the road, though, who wants to sit around and wait in the hotel room for the coffee to finish? No one.

 

The ESPRO Travel Press is a Kickstarter success story that has two filters nine to 12 times finer than a standard French Press. It really grinds those beans, guys. There’s also a spiffy paper filter between the presses designed to filter out the oil and grit for a traditional pour-over feel.

 

It also works on tea!

 

The press is double-vacuum-insulated and able to keep your coffee or tea hot for hours on end, even if you’re trekking up a mountain in the middle of January. The cup makes 12 ounces of tea and 10 ounces of coffee and doubles as a travel mug capable of containing 15 ounces altogether.

 

It comes with a one-year warranty, stainless-steel durable constructions and is completely BPS-, BPA- and phthalate-free. It also comes in a stylish array of colors. Seriously, this thing is pretty great.

 

The ESPRO Travel Press retails from $39 and is expected to begin shipping this month. Learn more at espro.ca.
