Works really well. Only complaint is the coffee and water fill lines are very hard to see.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lovely French Press
on January 20, 2025

Worth the higher price. Great quality. With a coarse grind makes perfect coffee and keeps it hot for a long time, at least 2-2.5h. Very happy with the press. It’s my 3rd fellow purchase. Love their quality

Love the French press, not the wooden spoon!

Love the French press. The demarcation lines help me know how much coffee and water to use, resulting in a very good cup of coffee! Ditch the wooden spoon tat comes with the item, though. The spoon splinters and changes the flavor of the coffee. I stopped using the spoon. I continue to use the French press - love this thing!

Great, but ...

I have used the Clara Franch press for about two weeks. It keeps my coffee at a good temp for at least an hour. Unfortunately, I do not use a burr grinder so I find that despite my best efforts the uneven grind I produce with my blade grinder makes the compression of the grounds after steeping very difficult. I can only successfully use the Clara press with beans ground at my market which means I cannot use freshly ground beans each day.

This is a great French Press
on March 1, 2025

I have this just about a month now and love it! The design and construction are stellar. But what I love the most is the bean measurement and water measurement line. Makes life so simple! Also, it’s not glass, I can’t break it!

Would buy the Clara French Press Again!
on March 16, 2025
Posted by: Lemondrop
I've only had my Clara French Press a very short time, and I'm still learning since it's my first French Press. My coffee has greatly improved since watching James Hoffman's YouTube video for making French Press coffee. This morning was my best cup to date using Intelligentsia Burundi Yandaro beans ground on the medium grind setting. I like that my coffee stays hot using James' directions due to the insulated walls of the Clara. It's easy to use, a quality product, and I would buy it again. I find that when I stir the crust after the first four minute wait, I don't need to remove any floating bits. They have already fallen down to the bottom. I'm very careful to pour the final brew just using the press as a strainer at the top of the Clara. I don't actually press the plunger down. I also reduced my beans from 30 g to 26 g today and the strength was fine. I have also used Intelligentsia El Diablo and Counter Culture La Golondrina beans with my Clara. Since I follow the James Hoffman technique, I do not need to use the wooden spoon at all, just the spoon I use to stir the crust after the first four-minute wait.

Without question, the best French press out there
on May 8, 2025
Posted by: RWC Coffee Drinker
Without question the best French press I have ever owned. Having owned at least 5 other brands and styles, I can confidently say that the Clara is the best out there. No residue, no coffee grinds in your coffee, it stays warm after pouring, it’s incredibly easy to clean, not one coffee grind gets stuck in the press, and it pours and amazing cup of coffee. I look forward to my Clara French press every morning. Thank you Fellow!

Good looks, good filter
on September 13, 2025
Posted by: Aria
Got this asa gift, the aesthetics are really nice, good construction. The filter is amazing, with appropriately sized grounds (even too small of grounds!) the filter keeps grit out. Couple criticisms: doesn't keep as warm as long as you might think but it is long enough. The marker for how much coffee you should add is the same color as the material inside and it makes it terribly difficult to see.
