Flask and coffee press combo retains heat and taste

The Impress Coffee Brewer portable press and flask aims to offer convenience and full flavor on the go.

In today’s busy world, sometimes there’s barely enough time to grab a much-needed cup of coffee. We’ve already seen Nordic’s Coffeebrewer – a bag of coffee that also acts as a disposable French press. Now the Impress Coffee Brewer portable press and flask aims to offer convenience and full flavor on the go. The creation of Gamila Company, the device consists of three easy-to-clean parts that ensures the coffee retains its heat and isn’t overbrewed. Users place coffee grounds into the outer component, along with hot water. Once it has brewed, a second inner flask is placed inside, allowing the coffee to flow into it while pushing the grounds down. The mechanism ensures the grounds are no longer in contact with the coffee so that brewing stops and the drink doesn’t turn bitter. A lid with a drinking hole is then placed on top, either keeping the coffee hot until the traveler has arrived at their destination or allowing them to drink on the go. The device is big enough for one large cup of coffee – or two small – and works with milk and sugar. The Impress Coffee Brewer is currently available to pre-order through the company’s already-successful Kickstarter page for USD 40. The press strives to be a simple and intuitive device that can be used by those short on time while still offering the taste of a home-brewed coffee. Given the often dull taste of takeaway coffee, could this provide commuters and others with a genuinely pleasant start to the day? Spotted by: Murray Orange
