ESPRO P3 French Press Coffee Maker - Grit-Free Double Filter (18 oz)

In this review the ESPRO P3 French Press Coffee Maker earns attention for one clear reason: its patented double microfilter produces a markedly cleaner cup than a standard press. For home brewers who want bold French press flavor without sludge, this 18 oz glass press reduces sediment while preserving oils and body. The build balances daily usability with thoughtful safety features, and the overall experience is about getting a smooth, bitterness-reduced brew without extra steps.

Key Features

• Double microfilter: Two-stage filtration traps fine grounds and over-extracted particles for a clean, grit-free cup each time.
• Thicker borosilicate glass: 40% thicker heat-resistant glass improves durability and helps keep coffee hot during the brew and pour.
• Twist-lock safety latch: The latch secures the carafe to the frame to reduce slips and accidental spills while pouring.
• Patented double silicone seal: The seal isolates bitter, over-brewed liquid at the bottom so only the balanced portion reaches the cup.
• Dishwasher-safe components: BPA-free parts and removable filter assembly allow for easier cleanup in the dishwasher when preferred.

Who It's For

The ESPRO P3 is aimed at home coffee enthusiasts who enjoy the texture and strength of French press coffee but dislike grounds in the cup; its double filtration is particularly useful for medium-fine grinds and single-serve brewing up to 18 oz. It also fits well for those who want a presentable, gift-ready brewer with sturdy glass and a cleaner pour than many basic presses.

Brewers who want stovetop heating or very large batch brewing should look elsewhere, since the manufacturer advises against boiling or stove use and the 18 oz size is intended for single-serve to two small mugs. If you need an ultra-simple disposable filter solution, a pour-over might be a better match.
