2.0 out of 5 starsMakes a mess, every time.

As a frequent traveler, I wanted this to be a better product. I find myself in countries where the closest thing to coffee is Nescafe, even when such countries export world class coffee. On paper it seems like the perfect solution for coffee on the go. Paired with a hand crank coffee grinder, I am able to make a decent cup wherever I find myself. You can also use the Kohipress as a standard traveler tumbler at a coffeeshop, though I have found several of ounces of coffee will migrate into the grounds chamber below the filter. My major complaint with this device is the seemingly unavoidable mess that I make every time I use it. When pressing the coffee, liquid and grinds inevitably seeps up in the space between the metal tumbler and plastic clyinder, spilling hot coffee out onto the table (if you are lucky) or your hands / pants / etc. This seems to be a constant issue with this device, significantly reducing it's utility. Your mileage may vary.
