I purchased the P7 for my wife after she tried my Espro Travel Press and loved it. I believe that the P7 is capable of making coffee of the same quality as the Travel Press, however the P7 has a minimum brew quantity of 6 cups or 32 oz one of which is lost below the fliter, so if you are planning on brewing just 3 cups or 18 oz, you actually need to brew 4 because one is lost below the filter. We attempted to exchange with Espro for the 18oz unit but they refused. Be sure you want to brew at least 32 oz before ordering the P7.
Yes, Altawood08 I too had this same issue. Should have ordered the smaller size, as I do not always want to brew up to the minimum on the 32oz one that I purchased. I did not realize it had a min and max fill lines. They would not take it back for an exchange. Use it even one time, and they will not take a return or exchange.
Sadly they aren’t vacuum sealed anymore, just double walled. Called the company and that’s what the rep told me. Cost cutting I imagine now that it’s made in China.
I sincerely hope you all had a merry Christmas. I'm torn between purchasing the Espro P5 (copper when available) and the P7 model. I'm not concerned with durability since I generally treat all my high-end purchases like they're my children. Both look absolutely stunning. The only thing that set the two models apart is how long they are able to keep the coffee warm. Would you be able to inform me how long the two models are able to keep the drinks warm under room temperature? Perhaps a comparison video between P5 and P7 would make a good RU-vid video for your channel as well!
Sebastian, thanks for a great comment. We just published comparison ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VV_qD4K1dls.html. Please take a look. Basically Espro P5 will hols up to 30 min, where Espro Press holds up to 2 hours. Hope this helps. Enjoy your coffee.
Is it true that unlike regular french presses, you can leave the brewed coffee in the Espro Press, as it does not continue brewing after your plunged the filter? This would eliminate the need for a thermos jug to transfer the coffee into after the brew time is complete.
I see alot of plastic in the filter part. Wouldn't this break down after a period of time ? You are brewing coffee in water at a high heat, does plastic and heat go well together ?
I've never smelled or tasted plastic in the cup after brewing. You press the plastic/rubber filter basket through for only about 10 seconds. Maybe if you always left it in without decanting??? otoh, with the Espro travel press and all other stainless steel thermos I always notice a metal smell/taste when the coffee is hot.
Espro should release new filter (v2) for it so you can use it. But it no confirmed yet. You can use paper filter with Espro P5 (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EWQXc2acBk4.html) and Travel press thought.
Thank you for great video..What about the Espro Travel French Press, are you going to reviews those? I hope so, its much cheaper, I’m not sure if it does the same as those two do. It would br great to see a video of the Espro Travel ones.
I don't agree that this will be the last French Press you will ever buy. I bought one and I hated it. All the cheap plastic in the filter drove me crazy. I would think that the plastic could be a long term health hazard despite the credentials. Say what you want but plastic softeners are not friendly to biology. Add to this, the upkeep was not nearly as easy as a traditional French Press. Please, anyone, come up with an universal French Press screen that can be used in every French Press ever made... but just make it better.
sounds like you gotta stop talking and do it yourself. Cheap plastic? like there is another kind? I've owned the p7 for 3 years. Never had a problem with it. I use once a week. Yes, it will be the last French Press I buy.
