Have you ever been working on making your morning coffee - trying to gently unscrew the attachment knob in your French Press, when your hand slips and your pliers or wrench shatter the pot? I have - and if you've been there too, then you know that it's a terrible situation. Not only is your coffee pot broken - but you didn't even get to drink any first, and now you have to go find a replacement? That's pure madness - nobody should ever have to leave their home before their first cup of coffee. That ought to be a crime. What if there was an easy way to fix the problem though? One simple change that totally removed the need for tools, reduced the likelihood of accidental damage, and just generally made the whole process easier? If you read the description for this blog, then you know where this is going already - I'm talking about the simple addition of a wing nut, which makes the new French Press from SYL Prosper such a game changer. I know it sounds silly, but take a look for yourself, and you'll understand why it's such a big change. Just visit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6KLVWF1?maas=maas_adg_83E9030C56F04A20446376C48BC42563_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas If you're not familiar with the problem, let me explain. With a traditional French Press, a small “attachment knob” is used to hold the coffee filtration screens tightly to the stem. Unfortunately, these attachment knobs are often damaged by the tools used to unscrew them, because they're just so darn tiny. It's also extremely common to lose them, for the same reason, and it's a real shame having to buy a new coffee maker because of one tiny knob. The new design from SYL Prosper replaces this small knob with a wing nut, which can be easily turned by hand instead of requiring tools. Simple, right? It's like when Isaac Newton invented the catflap - it's incredibly obvious now, but someone had to be the first person with the idea. By entirely removing the need for tools, SYL Prosper has reduced the likelihood of parts being damaged by slippage, excessive squeezing, or accidental loss of grip on your pliers. When combined with the larger, easier-to-find wing nut, this removes almost all of the most common causes of damage and loss. Of course, that's only useful if the rest of the French Press is also designed to be highly durable, and it is. SYL Prosper has some pretty high standards, and designed the French Press using heat-resistant borosilicate glass, which is extremely resistant to thermal expansion. The glass is reinforced using 304 Grade Stainless Steel, which conducts less heat than carbon steel and is highly resistant to rust due to its high nickel content. So the glass is extra strong, and won't expand or contract as much as normal glass - and the handle is pure, rust-proof stainless steel - but that's just the container. Any coffee drinker knows that the vessel is meaningless if the filtration is no good, so what can you expect for the internal workings? Nothing but the best, of course. The SYL Prosper design uses a double filtration system to help filter both medium and fine coffee grounds, and each kit contains two additional filters that can be used as replacements if the originals wear out. That's a pretty good deal, but I'll throw you an extra tip that I use myself. If you love the taste of French Press, but don't enjoy the extra coffee grounds that always sneak their way in - this design makes it easy to add another, extra filter. When you've got the French Press disassembled, just slide in a small circle cut from a standard paper coffee filter, above the built-in filters. You'll have to change it every time you clean it, but it allows you to get the smooth taste of a French Press, with as much, or as little coffee grounds as you please. As an extra bonus, the built-in double filtration makes this French Press excellent for cold-press coffee, as well as loose or bagged tea, if that's more your style. As one wide-awake coffee drinker explained, “This French press is very nice. I like that I can take the plunger apart and clean it, and the extra screens are a nice bonus. I did have a problem with the screw in the bottom plate detaching, but I contacted the seller and was sent a new part. Good customer service. I would recommend this French Press, it’s attractive and works well.” A French Press is an appliance that you'll likely use every day, or even multiple times a day - so it's worth getting one that will last. Spend the extra dollar, and get the fancy version with double filtration, tool-free cleaning, and top-quality damage-resistant materials - because you deserve it, and you'll thank yourself for it every single morning.
