Zyliss Graphite Smart Cafe Travel Mug

For those days I just want a fast cup of coffee but I don’t want to pull up the bigger french press this is fantastic. I had bought it in the past but brought it to my second home and forgot about it since I haven’t been there for awhile. Is great for camping too, boil water fast with a pot with heat exchanger, make the coffee and save the rest of the hot water in a thermo for another cup or to wash dishes. It washes easily at camp where water is not readily available in dry camping and keeps the coffee hot in those cold mornings in the mountains, the lid keeps bugs at bay just push the plunge very slowly and you won’t have grinds in the coffee you’re drinking, arrived faster than specified. I can’t say any negative things about it. Personally at home I wouldn’t put it in the dishwasher or microwave, it might ruin it and is so easy to wash. For those of us that like to add cream you can add it after you use the press since is not attached to the lid. Price has gone up since I bought the first one but what hasn’t and I think is still worth it.

Swiss quality!

Took this on a month long camping/cycling trip. It worked so well. Didn't have to take a separate French press and mug since it was integrated together.

The first cup I brewed was horrible. However, after a few additional failures the correct amount of grounds was locked in. Works best with a medium grind such as Folgers Columbian….My technique for brewing is based on an school method (Cowboy Coffee). First, add enough boiling water to cover the grounds to presoak for about 2 to 3 minutes. Afterwards, top off and allow to sit for another 2 minutes. Lastly, a tbsp of cold water to settle the grounds to the bottom of the cup before using the strainer…

En casa como en viajes disfruto mi café en mi taza!!

Great to have coffee anywhere. Unlike other french presses, you can add milk and cream in the cup. Great for hotels or other locations. I give them as gifts.

Well built, well designed mug for the most part but doesn't allow big gulps. The rounded edge combined with the tiny hole causes the coffee to collect on the rim and overflow on my face.

I loved my French mug, I had it for years, but it was getting old and started to accumulate water in the inside wall. So I bought a new one, and I couldn’t believe it, after 2 uses, water started sipping inside the double wall!The product is incredibly smart and saved me at work, but I can’t understand how such a prestigious brand can sell a product with such a flaw!
