WHAT A GREAT IDEA
I knew someone would think of this sooner or later--a vacuum bottle and coffee press. It makes good coffee and keeps it hot. It's not meant for all day, but for a few hours in the morning. It's great for my RV. A classic design, well made; everything you want in a press. I don't agree with any of the criticisms I've read. If you can't operate this thing, you shouldn't be in the kitchen.

Great coffe press
I have really liked this coffee press and have used it almost everyday since I received it. Keeps coffee warm and is easy to clean. Great purchase.

I am happy with this product
I bought this coffee press to take camping and it has worked out well. Note: buy coffee ground a bit coarser than drip grind because the smaller grind will yield to grounds in your cup.

Press *very* slowly!
I bought this after having borrowed a friend's Bodum Chambord 8-Cup Coffee Press, and so far I am pretty impressed with Thermos's version. The 34oz in particular makes enough for around 3 extremely large cups --- and keeps it hot for hours (with a Bodum, you need to transfer the coffee into a thermos, else it cools down after the first cup is gone).

At first, I was mildly disappointed with Thermos's press upon realizing that the filter wasn't doing quite as good of a job as Bodum's as far as keeping the coffee grounds back. However, the slower you press on Thermos's model, the better its filter works. Seriously -- don't rush the thing, despite the coffee-coma in the morning. I found that the best results occur when, after waiting the customary 3-4 minutes for the coffee to "brew," pull up on the lid --- but not the filter; they operate separately --- and slowly push the filter down about an inch into the liquid in order to start it. Then you can put the lid back down and proceed pressing v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

I was surprised to be so impressed!
I never expected to be so pleased with a product! We spend weekends on our boat and got tired of the time it took to make coffee in a stove top percolator. We had just been introduced to french press coffee and fell in love! We thought it would be to good to be true to find an insulated one, So we googled and there it was! We drink the coffee within an hour or two and it has always been hot and tasty. The pot is very easy to clean, not to mention space saving compared to a keeping both a coffee pot and carafe on board.
