Product Description
The BODUM Bistro Mug Press is not only a must-have in a single household, but it is useful for anyone who enjoys a cup of perfectly brewed coffee! The idea: place the BODUM coffee press system into a mug to initiate the perfect brewing process on a very small scale. No sooner said than done! The Bistro Mug Press is made of stainless steel and fits into most mugs due to the Santoprene rim adapter. To use, add the appropriate amount of coarse ground coffee into the Bistro Mug Press; pour hot water over the ground coffee, filling the cup; set the lid in place with the plunger in the up position; wait 4-minutes and depress the plunger. The Bistro Mug Press comes with a small plastic microwave-proof beaker that can be used to hold the press after the brewing process. In addition, while the coffee brews in the mug, the beaker can be used to warm milk in the microwave. The Bistro Mug Press can also be used for brewing tea. All parts are dishwasher safe.

My husband likes radioactive coffee and usually drinks 2-3 cups. I on the other hand like the standard 2-4 minute seep. The Bodum Bistro Mug Press is perfect for me. I love that I seep right in my cup, press then enjoy.
FYI; 2 star reviewer seams to have forgotten that all french presses ask that you stir the grounds prior to seeping. This "swirly" business does not properly agitate the grounds. Also all presses require you to lift and pour. With the Bodum Bistro Mug Press you DO need to lift the press out of your mug and pour the remaining coffee out of the press.

I like french press coffee, and it's a good way to make better coffee while I'm at work. I bought this because I generally only want to make 1 cup, and I don't have a lot of space.
With the Bistro Mug Press, it's difficult to get all the water to swirl around with the coffee grounds because they're held in this cylinder while you stir. I've had a hard time making good strong coffee.
With most french presses, you squeeze down the coffee and then pour out the top part. With this, you need to hold the thing above the cup, which is annoying.
There's always a problem with some grounds escaping into your cup, but this press leaves the most amount of sludge I've seen, barring turkish coffee. I thought it would be better because you weren't relying on the little gasket, but this was much worse.
I'm going to buy another, normal one (anything would be better than this.)
Maybe I can just use this for tea, or as a vase.
Edit:
I've found an awesome press that doesn't have any sludge because it uses a paper filter. It's the Aerobie 80R08 AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker. It also mounts on your coffee mug, but it doesn't go down into it. I highly recommend it.

and it works exactly like my large Bodum does, except inside out. ;-) This will travel with me, as will the AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker. With home roasted beans and a grinder I can have good coffee anywhere in the world, instead of that nasty stuff they put in hotel rooms today!
Highly recommended if you like good coffee.

Nice idea, but weak coffee
This is a nice idea - stick it in the cup itself and use the cup to brew the coffee. But it doesn't work for me - the coffee doesn't taste as good as using the traditional... Read more

Not as good as an AeroPress
