Amazing Lightweight Stanley French Press

[@Tony-um2el]

Stanley did hit a HOME run with this coffee press. It makes better coffee then I can at home. But did you know it also makes a good veggie streamer, bring about 3/4 of a inch of water to a boil, put your veggies inside the press and push down about half way put your lid on and steam for your desired time. Wonderful and clean up is a snap.

[@greatamericansurvival]

Tony Pfister Wow that's a great idea. I'll have to try that out. Thanks Tony.

[@SonoraSlinger]

I have this and I love it. What's also great is I can store a small bag of coffee, a little sugar, and my camp spoon inside of it. Really awesome design.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

LOVE that piece of kit! I have used mine for years now. Hasn't failed me yet. When my USMC son was readying for his most recent deployment I bought him one to take with him. During those brief moments of in the field R&R he says that he "guards it in full battle rattle" so it doesn't grow legs!.

[@greatamericansurvival]

I bet. Thanks so much for the feedback. And we pray for your son and your family. Our country is built on the strength of our families. Where he stationed? My nephew just finished up and retired from the Marines in San Diego during the crazy covid drama..Also we just did a video on how to make cold brew using the Brew Press.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

@@greatamericansurvival Thank you so much. Blessings and USMC ❤️🤗 TO YOUR NEPHEW FOR HIS SERVICE. When my MARINES Son is stateside he is mostly stationed out of PARRIS ISLAND but his small elite team goes wherever they are needed most at any given time. He is often at LEJEUNE, too, but of late he was at PALMS. I never know until he tells me, often only after he has returned. You "understand" it's that "loose lips and ships" thing so I don't ask unless I have a "need to know". Thanks again, I'll give him your kind regards when next we talk.

[@corwynhoward269]

Have used mine daily for over a year. Outstanding coffee press, and great to pack on trips. Excellent value.

[@shovelhead8]

Great looking device.. no extra filters and coffee grounds are biodegradable so no mess. Thank you for showing this to us, Marvin

[@greatamericansurvival]

shovelhead8 Your welcome Sir, hope you have a chance to try one out yourself.

[@corwynhoward269]

Have used my Stanley press in my home for nearly a year now. Makes an outstanding pot of coffee.

[@banjofett3949]

The ability to make coffee is what separates us from animals. Having coffee while camping is for champions, thank you for the awesome review.

[@secretdaisy6484]

I have one because if I can’t have coffee wherever I go I’m not going. And the pot can be used for cooking. It’s really versatile & makes great coffee. Thanks for the video. I’m sure a lot of coffee ☕️ drinkers will buy 1 of these.

[@Iridium242]

Nice, I have the older Stanley coffee press, but this one looks a bit better made and I like the cup inside the cup idea too.

[@greatamericansurvival]

Iridium242 -That's one of my favorite parts of the press, coffee grounds don't get in the coffee, you do get some powder in your coffee..

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

I didn't realize Stanley made this one! Looks like it does a great job. This is definitely a must have. Great review! Thanks for sharing Marvin!

[@greatamericansurvival]

Kentucky Woodsman It's been a great piece of kit. Easy to use and great results..

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

I have one of these and I love it. Thanks.

[@NoName-fx9zi]

I use this item in the kitchen. I do a quasi-cowboy brewing method. Bring to a hot temp, throw in a few scoops (Sam's 105 Main works best IMHO), then bring to a rolling boil for about 4 minutes. Let it set for a bit, throw in a small amount of cooler water, then put your press in. Super smooth coffee.

[@CalvinsCorner72]

Awesome Man, I just saw this about 3 days ago at Wal Mart. I really envy folks that can hike all day DEEP in the woods. I don't know about going out alone DEEP in the woods by myself. It just creeps me out. Looks like that screen puts the froth in the coffee too. UMMMM

[@greatamericansurvival]

Calvin's Corner72 - Thanks man, let me know I'll go hike with ya sometime..

[@nonnotrucks2502]

There's only one way to overcome things. I've camped alone more often than not and I've been creeped out on occasion. That's half the fun, though. Good luck.

[@MeMe-cd1wy]

I make combination of cowboy coffee and French press. I bring water and coffee to boil and then press it after a couple minutes of boiling both water and coffee grounds.

[@alanjackson5345]

Is it large enough to hold the gas can?

[@bandofbros8112]

I take it you can use the pot for cooking rice or something like that too right?

[@greatamericansurvival]

BandOfBros - Heck Yes, and it works great for that. What do you use now when your out? Thanks for watching.

[@Carolinaskymaclean]

Great American Survival a lot of people like the MSR seagull.

[@secretdaisy6484]

Yes the pot can be used for cooking. It’s quite versatile. But most importantly it makes awesome coffee. Camping is now civilized. ☕️🙂

[@LDR1100RS]

I just made my first cup of coffee with this press. Wow. Money well spent.

[@greatamericansurvival]

Right. It’s an awesome coffee maker. Thanks for sharing have an amazing day. God bless

[@SurvivalGearReview]

That's awesome, I just got one in to review and love it so far. Great video Marvin!!

[@greatamericansurvival]

SGR Outdoors Hope you like it Matt it's great especially for camping or hiking. Thanks Matt.

[@hrdknox2000]

I just bought this and plan to buy another for the BOL. I'm curious about the type of grounds used vs. the flavor return rendered in the finished product. For example, will it work well with a coarse ground, like Folgers (the staple around our house because it's cheap and widely available) or do you need a finer grind? I plan to buy a few of these for different purposes such as home preparedness, BOL comfort, and for use in the field when I go to disaster areas as a HAM operator. Another question I have is, how well has it held up since this video was made in 2017?

[@greatamericansurvival]

hrdknox2000 Honestly if you use course grind you can let it brew longer. Finer grind means it brews, faster. Drip coffee only needs a couple minutes. It makes a great cup of coffee especially for two or more.

[@greatamericansurvival]

I’m still using it. With our scouts it really portable for group trips. HAM is cool. We have several of our scouts that have licenses. And several of our Assistant Scoutmasters have there too. What part of the world are you in?

[@heathschwab]

That's to cool. That's awesome makes me wish I drank coffee. Thanks for sharing. God bless

[@heathschwab]

O more red. Love the red. I want to only get red and some green but mostly red dishes. Very cool thanks god bless

[@Broski__]

So can you put the coffee grounds inside of the plastic filter, let it steep and then just pull the filter out along with the coffee grounds? That way, you can let extra coffee sit in the pot without it over-brewing. I call it the "French pull"

[@greatamericansurvival]

Never tried that. Most of the time when I press there isn’t hardly any liquid left to brew.

[@Rudeboy008]

I live in OK. Started getting a lot of cool camping gadgets when I was staying in Seattle and making trips to REI co-op. I love this press. I just wish I know that I needed waaay more coffee beans bc mine just came out weak the first time using. Lol

[@griceteacher]

Please do a video on the other supplies that shows in the video. Thank you.

Will do! Have you tried this out yet.

[@candaceschrimpf8290]

How much coffee grounds did yell use for a full pot of coffee?

[@greatamericansurvival]

Generally 2 Tablespoons per cup of water. For a nice strong cup.

I'm using 3 scoops in mine for the 2 of us We've had ours over a year and I'm really happy with it

[@judymurray191]

I have a hard time with how to get the grounds the right grind. Any tips on that?

[@greatamericansurvival]

@@judymurray191 No I just use a standard drip grind, but my local store will grind it however you want little machine on the coffee isle. Hope this helps. Cheers

[@paulh712]

Is the coffee you use made for drip coffee makers ?? Or do you grind your own. Drip coffee is ground pretty fine. I wonder if the press mesh is fine enough to filter out the fine grounds.

[@greatamericansurvival]

PAUL H - I'm sorry for the delay. I use grounds for a French Press mostly, but I haven't had any problems with drip coffee grind either. Thanks

[@greatamericansurvival]

I’ve seen people make metal lids for it but I don’t know of an actual product that’s metal lid fits sorry. I’ve had mine for 5 years and it’s still works.

[@debbies2295]

Survival Resources makes a generic lid that fits this, as well as the smaller metal pot/cups. Bought mine a few years ago & notice design is different now, but measurements appear to be same. Used to be called Universal Pot Lid, now called Pathfinder. Tried to post link a few times, but it won't let me. HTH

[@Kevin_Ho70]

@@greatamericansurvival hello! Great review. I would disagree. This Stanley French Press is convenient and makes a large amount of coffee but it does not compare to a Moka Coffee maker (less coffee but much better, robust taste). What are your measurements for water to coffee ratio. Maybe this will increase the coffee flavor from the Stanley French Press Coffee maker.

But did just score a travel grinder yesterday. I've also notice that if i stir the coffee after I add the water it helps make it better especially when using good coffee.

Would a fuel canister fit inside the press part?

Some of the smaller ones do. Without the cups and coffee stowed inside you can store a canister and msr mini stove.

There's no reason why you couldn't use this with kettle boiled water right? I do backpack and camp, but I also travel and like to make coffee in the hotel room to save money. We can't have a coffee maker but we can have an electric kettle. So I wanted a non-glass press to travel with and I generally trust and love my Stanley products.

Great American Survival As I used to travel for work often, I collected the coffee packs in hotels. Just drop them in a small pot and, voila!! Since I’ve retired, I have a source for the packs, but it’s infrequent and I can’t depend on a constant supply. So, a couple of months ago, I picked up a Stanley French Press. It does a great job!! Nothing like fresh morning coffee by a campfire. I can use the pot, without the sleeve, for boiling water and other camp fixings.
