American Press Coffee Maker
Overview
A unique joining of two renowned brewing techniques, the American Press combines a pressurized brewing technique (similar to the Aeropress) and the classic shape of a regular French press into an all-in-one, travel-ready coffee companion. Designed with sleek sipping in mind, the American Press features a micro-mesh filtered brew chamber that you press through your brew water. The result? A visually striking reverse pillar of coffee ready to drink in under 3 minutes.
Features and Functionality
- Contained Grounds - A twist-in filter canister keeps your cup clean of sediment and offers an easy cleanup solution.
- Double-wall Tritan Plastic - Shatter-proof and BPA-free, the Tritan build of the American Press also serves to keep your coffee hot for ages.
- 100-micron Stainless Steel Filter Screens - Two reusable stainless steel filters keep grounds in but let oils out of the brew chamber.
- Simple Spout - A gentle curving lip makes the American Press easy to drink or pour from.
- Single Cup Solution - Just the right size for a piping hot cup of fresh coffee.

| SCG Staff Says... | Like an Aeropress and travel mug in one! |
| How Does it Compare? | We found small variations in your brewing technique—pre-infusion, dose adjustments, pressure—made little, if any, difference in the final brew flavor. This makes the American Press a forgiving brew method, but also means it's less versatile than the recipe-rich Aeropress. |
| Tips and Tricks | We recommend starting with American Press' ideal dosing: 22g (0.75 ounces) of coffee to 355ml (12 fluid ounces), and to aim for a medium, pour over grind. |
