While its not completely sediment-free, its enough of the way there that Im sold.
As a self-professed coffee nerd, Im always on the lookout for thebest coffee makers.
However, theres one brewing method Ive always voiced my distaste for: French press.
So, when I unboxed the Espro P7 French press, lets just say I didnt have high hopes.
But I was wrong.
I was so very wrong.
Could it be the answer to our French press prayers?
Find out in this Espro P7 French press review.
Those requiring smaller units can snag it for$115 on Amazon U.S..
The dual-walled micro filters help remove bitterness and the flavor is very forgiving.
Im confident that whatever colorway you choose, the P7 will be a visual centerpiece in any kitchen.
What separates the P7 from a normal French press is its patented design features.
The two layers are easily separated for deep cleaning and click securely into place.
As with everything on the P7, the filters are extremely well-made.
There are no unfinished parts or skimped-on design features here, and theres a definite intention to the design.
Helpfully, Espro also provides a detailed recipe chart with different roasts requiring different brewing ratios.
I tried the P7 with and without the paper filter and preferred the taste without the filter.
Its also very simple to use, as youll be able to see from my P7 routine.
I stirred and added the P7s lid with the spout facing away from the cafetieres spout to retain heat.
After 4-5 minutes, I moved the lids spout to the cafetieres spout and started plunging slowly.
Plunging too quickly might result in a siltier coffee.
The 32oz P7 made about four mugs of coffee with room for milk.
As the P7 is a dual-walled French press, an hour after brewing the coffee temperature was still 160F.
After two hours, it was 136F.
It doesnt fit in my kitchen cabinets but itdoesfit in my apartments wine rack.
The paper filters are $9.95 for 100, which works out to about 10 cents per filter.
Cleaning is straightforward, if a little tedious.
Espro P7 review: How does it compare?
Pour-over feels more active and considered, and requires a hand-on approach.
I do loveAeroPress, too, as it has a lovely floral aroma without being bitter or weak.
I would also recommend theClever Dripper, which is a super unique way of brewing steeped coffee.
However, it is just as easy to use as the Espro P7.
With dark roast, this wouldnt be an issue as dark roasted beans lose the chaff during roasting.
The Espro P7 keeps warm for a relatively long period, and doesnt use electricity to maintain that heat.
I am a French press convert now, and look forward to using the Espro P7 again.
