YETI Rambler French Press Coffee Maker, with GroundsControl Filter

I was very wary of purchasing this press given the price, but wanted a good press for a vacation to Idaho/Montana. Looking for something that could take some punishment, produce great coffee, and keep the coffee warm between cups. I reviewed several others and decided on this one since I’ve had great experiences with other Yeti products.For being durable- this press is a tough as it gets. I figure this item is going to be passed down a few generations. The Yeti site says it is incredibly tough and they were not lying.The drawback here though is the weight. We flew on our vacation, to so this had an impact. FYI- this will trigger a look by TSA going through pre-check.The coffee? - consistent with other presses that I have use in the past. Except the big plus here was the GroundsControl feature which worked great.This press will keep your coffee warm. The picture on the review are two photos taken 25 minutes apart with hardly any movement on temperature. (I used my Keurig to produce the hot water so it is a little low) I have used this about twenty times now and the “keeping it warm” results are consistent.Ultimately, I think it is a great value and it is easy to clean.

If you have the money, then this is the coffee press for you. Solid construction, durability and easy clean-up are just a few of the advantages of this press. It also keeps your brew hot for at least 3 hours after brewing. For me, this is the biggest factor when I researched French presses. Again, cost is a factor, but this press is well worth it!

I bought a couple insulated french presses, but none of them have the insulating capability of this one. If the pot is full, the temperature is maintained for hours. Obviously, as you start to drink, the liquid inside starts to cool more rapidly, but this goes for Amy other brand as well.I love that the filter has a one way rubber gasket. It helps to not overbrew your coffee/tea once the filter is pressed.It's probably super sturdy, but I hide it when we have guests in my house, because I don't want anyone to break it. It my baby and mine alone lol!

Best French Press ever! Just follow the exact directions. The Yeti carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours!

While the pretty French press keeps coffee and tea warm, it is nearly impossible to use. I have to use all my bodily force to plunge the press down; sometimes I can't pull it up. Today, the lid locked and wouldn't unlock. I had to use a flat head to open it. Now the filter part is stuck (I initially tried unscrewing the metal part). I did not try to use this item before I left the country. Now that I am back, it is too late to return. I CAN'T BELIEVE I SPENT 116 DOLLARS on something that works so poorly. My 24-dollar press at least functioned.

This might take a little extra time, but the coffee tastes so good when it comes from a french press. This Yetti french press is very sturdy, easy to use and makes great coffee.I could see how it would especially be helpful on a camping trip or if the electric goes out or just in any situation where you want to make coffee.

I purchased the Yeti French Press maker primarily because with my old press the second cup of coffee was lukewarm and I would have to put the cup in the microwave to heat the coffee back up. It is not a problem with this French Press as the pressed coffee stays hot and will for a long time. As others have said, the Yeti French Press is pricey, and I would say it is overpriced for what you are getting but it is what it is. And yes, this press is heavy but it is very sturdy and well constructed. The problem I am having is related to that second cup of coffee. I typically drink two cups of coffee in the morning. I use my coffee cup to measure the amount of water I need and put the water in my electric kettle to boil the water. I've already put the freshly gound coffee in the French Press unit and then pour the boiled water into the unit. I put the lid on and typically wait 4 minutes before pressing and pouring the coffee into my cup. The first cup is perfect and I'm very happy with the taste and coffee temperature. However, when I pour the second cup, the amount of coffee is significantly less than the first cup. Upon inspection, I see that the remaining coffee is still below the filter. As a result, I'm giving this French Press four stars, but if I can figure the the 'missing coffee' problem I would rate it five stars. If anyone has any ideas why this is the case please let me know.Update: I found the cause of the 'missing coffee' problem. Upon examining the filter, I realized there was a round rubber piece attached next to it that prevented much of the coffee to strain through the filter. Once I removed it, the problem disappeared. Now it works perfectly. However, I'm not sure why this rubber piece was attached in the first place, maybe to protect the filter during the shipping process.

I know it’s probably overpriced for what it is. Same thing for a Mercedes, I suppose.This thing is overbuilt, attractive, sturdy, and fun to use. Most importantly, the coffee is amazing. I’ll never use a kuereg again!Yes, there are more cost effective options that probably make coffee that tastes just as good. I don’t care. It’s my coffee time, and if I wanna spend a bit more to ensure coffee time is more enjoyable, I’m willing to pay a little extra for that.By the way, pair this with a cheap electric kettle. It boils water more quickly than I can manage on a stove.
