Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trudeau Tirra Coffee Press 16 Ounce, Stainless Steel Finish
Customer Review: Innovative design - poor functionality
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted a small stylish French press. This press is designed such that you fill the filter basket with coffee, then place it in the pot and pour in the water through small holes in the lid. After brewing, you pull the plunger UP until the filter basket locks into the top. After removing the lid for clean-up, you turn the plunger clockwise and push to disengage the filter basket. Therein lays my first problem. There is a small detachable piece designed to both grip & release the plunger rod. On the first try, the piece detached and the plunger would not disengage the filter basket. Repeatedly the plastic piece continued to pop off. As to the rest of the process, filling the filter basket with coffee is tedious in order to avoid making a mess. Pouring water through the small holes in the top is also a slow procedure. I returned the product for a refund. My advice, stick with the original French press design like the Bodum or BonJour lines of presses.
Description of Trudeau Tirra Coffee Press 16 Ounce, Stainless Steel Finish
Filter coffee press with patented plunge system removes all coffee grounds.Java aficionados know that the most aromatic and full-bodied coffee comes from a French press. Unlike a filter, the pressing process squeezes out coffee grounds, while leaving behind the flavorful oils and tiny solids that give the finished brew richness and subtlety.
Trudeau?s Tirra press is made from high-heat glass rather than plastic (which can produce off tastes). A stainless steel design, matte accents, and whimsically-curved, easy-to grip handle looks stylish in the kitchen or at the table. To use the Tirra press, begin with coarse ground coffee (one tablespoon per four-ounce cup), and add water just off the boil. Let it rest for five minutes, gently press down on the plunger--et voila. This space-efficient press makes 16 ounces or 4 cups of coffee at a time. Realistically, that?s two to three after-dinner-sized servings, or one jumbo morning mug. --Mary Park
