I have a Stanley 20 oz trigger action cup that I have had for 5 years it's still like new it keeps the coffee hot for so long I love it thanks for the video Rick and Linda

These new coffee presses are nice. I always just boiled coffee in an old coffee can over the fire and used a pair of vice grips to hold the can to pour then filter out the grounds through my teeth. I’m getting too old for the good old days. Think I will order a Stanley.

Looks like a great option for good coffee. I have been using my Mom & Dad's old 1950 Revear ware percolator coffee pot. It makes great coffee. I put a paper filter in it and then add the coffee. It makes cleaning a lot easier. Thanks for the great content as always!!

I LOVE French press coffee. I actually just started making it that way about a year ago. And now it's kind of my go to for coffee. Generally when we're boondocking, I will use my drip thing. It works really well too. But for me nothing beats the French press.

Have you tried an Aero press coffee maker? (no easier clean up. Period) Makes a very ,very good cup in less thank 3 minutes! Next to no clean up. I have two. In my opinion, the best expresso coffee maker hands down for travel (or home) has to be the Wacaco nanopress. Coffee making can be a rabbit hole.

The best method for making camp coffee for us is the Melitta cone filter. Nothing to clean up, the grounds can be tossed on the ground outside the campsite and the paper filter dries out and can go into the campfire. I filter it directly into the thermos and it makes a good stiff cup of coffee.

I also enjoy the French press, the different taste, then perk or drip,

We like the Nissan coffee press, have two we have used for 20 years daily. Cost $30-40.

Oh and for those that scoff at the idea of cowboy coffee but somehow figure French press is better or best. French press is cowboy coffee with a top down filter. Yeah the coffee isnot at a rolling boil but you still add boiling or near boiling water, let it steep, then top down press filter. Cowboy coffee is french press without the press. And Also the Great Gatsby is the Count of Monte Cristo. Same story different time line thats all.

We've used an Aeropress and still do from time to time. Makes the best home espresso without spending a lot on a machine.

I use the JetBoil coffee press daily and really like it. For some reason (don’t really know why) I bought the Stanley and used it a couple times. I didn’t like it because unlike the JetBoil the Stanley always seemed to make a mess when you tried to pour a cup. After I used it a couple of times it has been relegated to a dark corner of the kitchen cabinet. As you mentioned it appears to be Stanley “bulletproof” but just didn’t work for me.

I go to the local Goodwill store or St.Vinnys, I can usually find one for 3 or 4 dollars..☕

Just keep a standard spray bottle full of water for cleanup. Spray it down and wipe it clean with a towel and use a minimal amount of water.

The Stanley French press is great but they cut corners, went a little cheap on the construction. The plunger action is not smooth becasue there are no bearings or bushings in the lid; furthermore, and the lid is hollow, no vacuum seal. Lots of heat is lost through the lid. I bored out the holes in the lid, shot in insulation, drove in Nylon bushings into the top and bottom sheet metal of the lid. Now it is insulated and the action is smooth and quiet. The flimsy mesh filter lets grounds past. I bought a second 4.5" steel filter and ganged the two together. Yes, that's one additional item to clean, but the results are much better, coffee-wise.

Ah, good coffee!

Wish you would have demonstrated making the coffee.

I'm not much of a coffee fan but when I do drink it my favorite has always been cowboy style. I was given a French press some time ago not a cool one like that but a glass one not suitable for camping and I've rarely used it. Just 3 handfuls of of freshly ground coffee in a quart boiler, bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, take it off the fire, pour a cup of water down the spout and let it set for a few more minutes. Strong, black and tasty. Doing it any other way doesn't taste very good to me and is likely to put me on the toilet for the rest of the day, give me heartburn or both. Boiling seems to change it chemically so it doesn't have the laxative or acid reflux effect on me.

Also, some coffees are more likely to cause acid reflux. Arabica is the best, but some of those can be bad too. Find one that you get along with and enjoy.

We were in the market for a different method to make our daily coffee and saw your video. Went immediately to Amazon and bought one. It just arrived and we had a great cup of coffee. We found we will be able to cut our coffee use by one tablespoon per pot and save some on electricity. I get up at 4am but my wife usually doesn't rise until a couple hours later. Now her coffee will be hot but no power consumption to make it happen.

So I see I'm not the only one the buys cups, glasses and other things based on if i can get my hand it it or not to clean it. As far as Stanley goes for durability, I've seen one Stanley thermos fail, It was my Dad's and he is a city maintenance worker. His thermos fell off the tractor and found itself under a wheel of the trailer he was towing. turned it into a Taco. it was done.
