Product Description

Planetary Design, formerly Porter Products, has revolutionized the century old art of brewing coffee and tea via French Press. The Double-Shot deskpress mugs, constructed of 18/8 marine grade stainless steel, are incredibly durable and equally impressive in their ability to retain heat for extended periods of time. The patented double filtration system, modeled after a hydraulic cylinder, ensures that grounds will not pass through, creating the perfect brew of coffee or tea. Simply, pour hot water over coffee grounds or loose leaf tea, let steep, push stopper down and enjoy the best brew around. No need to pour into a separate container, you can drink right from the pot. Additionally, the Double-Shot was designed specifically for the commuter. It fits into most vehicle drink holders and includes a built-in storage container in the bottom to carry enough coffee or tea to brew 2 more cups. The mug presses are ideal for the coffee or tea connoisseur that doubles as an outdoor enthusiast or professional on the run.

Planetary Design Double Shot Travel French Press Mug Mocha Review

I enjoy reading reviews about things I own because I ususally learn more about the
item than what you find in the user manuals and pick up some good tips.

I bought my first coffee press when I was remodeling my kitchen and found that the
only place to put our electric coffee maker was on a bar area which would leave the
ugly back side of the coffee maker exposed to our guests in the dining area (something
my wife would not appreciate). We looked at coffee makers that looked good on all sides
but didn't find many of them. On a whim, I thought to try out a glass French press.
That was fine, but the coffee didn't stay warm very long and you had to clean up
the press and a coffee mug when you were done.

I then found this mug and thought it would be a good solution to my issues.
It kept the coffee warm longer and there was only one thing to clean up.
It allowed me to throw in some coffee grinds with water and run out of the
house to get to work and the coffee would brew in transit (no waiting around
for the coffee maker to finish brewing or the glass press to finish steeping).
Since I am the only one drinking coffee in my house and I only drink one cup a
day, this seemed to be ideal for me. No need to make a larger amount of coffee.

The metal construction keeps the coffee warmer than the glass French presses do.

The top lid also contains fine mesh to catch any grinds that escape the large
screen on the bottom of the pressing pole.

You want to use coarse ground coffee (size of potting soil or coarse Kosher salt)
with a French press. I have used finer grinds and still not had much grind come
into my mouth. You could use this mug as a stand alone press and pour the coffee
into a regular coffee mug if you are concerned about the water being in contact with the
coffee grounds for too long of a time.

It has rubber rings are to help the mug fit snugly in your car cup holder
(they are not intended to provide insulation for your hand as one reviewer mentioned).
These rings can be removed if you don't like them.

The newer versions of this mug have a handle can be tightened or removed if
you like.

I have given several of these as gifts to friends who have loved them. I didn't
know Amazon was selling these, so I bought mine elsewhere. Different places have
offer different colors of this mug.

I liked the mug so much I bough a larger carafe version that the company makes
(holds 48 ounces I think) so I could make coffee for multiple guests and keep the coffee warm for a while.

The design has been updated since I bought my first mug.

New version of this mug has a screw on top for the coffee container, a screw on
cap for the bottom of the mug to keep the coffee container within the mug.
This addresses the other reviewer's issues of the tops popping off or the
coffee storage unit falling out of the mug (an issue I had with the older
version of this mug).

Both drink tops (one for French press, and one for using as a regular mug)
now have a cover that rotates to close off the drinking hole and the
air hole. This new cover is not leak proof but it keeps the coffee (or tea) from
gushing out if you tip the mug over (which was an issue with the earlier version
of this mug). Both versions of the mug I have include a metal plunger rod (not plastic
like some reviewers have mentioned).

I bought my second one after the rubber seal on the lid started to break down
(after years of use). From looking at these reviews, it looks like I could have
bought a replacement lid from the company. I decided to buy a new mug to
get the enhanced features. I really like the new design and rarely use
my old mug.

The only downside of the current version of this mug is that the mesh plunger
part that attaches to the plunging post comes loose every time I use it so
I am always tightening this part each time I clean out the old grounds.
The reason that this comes unscrewed is that the bottom press filter fits so
tightly in the mug that it rotates as you plunge it, so it unscrews from the rod
a little. The size of that part can be difficult to put inside the mug at times.
I guess it has to be tight to keep the coffee from coming around the mesh
screen on the sides, but this is much tighter than my old mug had.

Note: If your coffee storage unit doesn't have a top, then you are missing
part of your mug. I saw one reviewer that mentioned that they didn't have
a top.

Note: The instructions say not to put this mug in the dishwasher, so I handwash mine
with liquid dishwashing soap.
