TIMEMORE SMALL U FRENCH PRESS

The Timemore French Press promises to blend sleek aesthetics with clean brewing performance, offering a modern take on the classic immersion method. Known for its signature design language, Timemore delivers a product that looks at home in a minimalist kitchen or a travel kit. But does it truly deliver on taste, build quality, and ease of use? Here’s my take after weeks of brewing.

I’ve always appreciated Timemore for their ability to make functional gear that looks and feels premium. The Timemore French Press is no exception—its sleek glass body, fine mesh filter, and solid weight give it an immediate sense of quality. It’s also versatile enough for brewing coffee or tea, which is a bonus for travelers and minimalists like me.

That said, my experience wasn’t flawless. While the press delivers a smooth and clean cup, it lacks the robustness and tactile satisfaction of higher-end models. The handle can feel slightly small for a solid grip, especially when pouring a full batch, and the plunger mechanism doesn’t feel as refined as it should for its price point, the silicone ring slipped off on many occasions.

Still, it’s a well-designed option for those who value looks and portability as much as function.
