I’ve used Mueller 20 oz Stainless Steel French press for the last week and I’ve been very pleased with this product and the coffee it produces. Dollar for dollar, when paired with a good burr grinder, I don’t know that I’ll find a better way to make a great cup of coffee!
I use the OXO Burr Conical Coffee Grinder set at 14 grind setting (coarse) and Peet’s Major Dickinson whole bean coffee and grind three level coffee scoops of beans for about 12 seconds to produce the grounds. After placing ground coffee in the pre-heated carafe, I add just enough hot (205 degree F) water to cover the grounds, stir and let the grounds “bloom” a bit (30 seconds). Then I add 205 degree water to the press to the fill line, stir a bit, and place the top on the press (with plunger up). I let the coffee brew for four minutes. Then I confirm the arrow on the top of the press is pointing towards the handle and press the plunger slowly.
Before I had the burr grinder I did experiment using pre-ground Peet’s drip coffee grounds in this press. I pushed the plunger very slowly and poured from the press carefully. The coffee tasted great and there was very fine grounds in the bottom of the coffee cup—to be expected. I drank the coffee slowly and discarded the last little bit of coffee.
I really like the double-wall insulation. I preheat the press with near boiling water first, then heat the water I’ll use to make the coffee. The press works very well and keeps the coffee warm for the second mug. The 20 oz size is good if you want two 8-10 oz mugs of coffee as I do each morning. If you need more coffee consider the larger press by Mueller.
The clean-up is easy. Once all the coffee has been poured, I remove the top/plunger and shake the grounds out into the trash can. I then use a small silicon spatula to easily remove the remaining grounds from the carafe and place them in the trash. Then the entire press is washed in soap and water. I unscrew the filter portion and wash each part and then completely dry before reassembly. If you don’t disassemble and clean each filter part, then you run the risk of small grounds and water trapped between the filter parts which can affect the taste of your coffee.
The stainless steel construction looks very good and feels very sturdy. I’m very happy with this Mueller French Press. I’ve owned and used several other French presses over the years and this is my favorite and my favorite way of making coffee at home. The only coffee I’ve tasted that has been better was from my sister’s very expensive espresso/coffee barista machine at ~20-30(?) times the cost! Maybe someday I can justify that investment and the space on the counter? In the mean time, the Mueller French Press is creating exceptional coffee!
[Additional comparison thoughts: To get the best results from a French press you do need a way to create consistent coarse coffee grinds. The OXO Burr Conical Coffee Grinder is one of the most affordable and high quality grinders I found in my research. You can find it on Amazon. So between the OXO grinder and the Mueller French press I’ve invested about $120 (the grinder was on sale a few days ago!). So comparing the burr grinder and French press together, the high-end espresso/coffee barista machine is about 6-8 times that cost and 4-5 times the volume on the counter.]

Enjoy Coffee Without GroundsThere’s nothing worse than drinking coffee grounds when you’re enjoying a cup of coffee. This 34 oz French Press includes a 4-layer filtration system to ensure your grounds stay in the carafe and not in your cup. |
Travel Canister AccessoryPrefer to make your own coffee at work or when you travel? We include a convenient stainless steel travel canister to store up to 2 batches of pre-ground coffee so you can make a fresh pot of coffee on-the-go. It’s easy! Just add hot water and brew like you would do at home. |
Great for Camping!The sturdy stainless steel exterior, as opposed to a breakable glass coffee press, travels well for use when camping or in an RV. The cool-to-the-touch handle allows for easy pouring while the vacuum-insulated and double-walled carafe keeps your coffee or tea toasty warm for the next pour. |
What is Immersion Brewing?
Our Mueller French Press Coffee Maker soaks the grounds in hot water for a few minutes, rather than a few seconds like a drip coffee maker. This creates a robust and full-bodied flavor, which is perfect for people who prefer strong coffee with lots of flavor.
Freshly ground coffee beans make the best cup of coffee. Since you control the length of steeping time–and the coffee ground grind size–you can control the strength of your coffee. Want it stronger? Steep it longer. The included manual features a handy chart to help you determine coffee/water/strength ratios.

4 Levels of Filtration
With 4-layer filtration you can pour with confidence, knowing the coffee grounds remain in the container and not in your cup. Our filters reduce fine sediment to extract only the flavor and natural oils.
While other presses include only two filters, ours include four. The stainless steel screen filters deliver a high filtration for less silt in your coffee cup.
- Coffee is best when just below the boiling point of 205°F (96°C)
- Use medium to coarse-ground coffee
- All parts are dishwasher safe!

Double-Walled Stainless SteelWe crafted our double-walled 304 stainless steel carafe to provide an insulating layer that keeps your coffee hot for 60 minutes longer than thinner steel or glass models. You can brew tea in it, use it for making hot cocoa, and to store steamed milk or frothed milk. |
Cool Touch HandleThe professional grade carafe’s stainless steel handle stays cool so you can easily grasp it when pressing the plunger down or when pouring coffee into a coffee mug or cup. |
Easy to Unscrew for CleaningQuickly disassemble the plunger and filter to clean it. Grip the filters in one hand and the plunger in the other. Next, unscrew the filter from the plunger, then clean all the parts. The carafe, filter, and plunger are all dishwasher safe. |

good while it lasted
Unfortunately my French press developed a crack near the spout. I always hand washed and didn’t abuse this thing. You can hear water getting into the crack the steel is compromised. I really enjoyed it for the short period.Changed my review to 5 stars. I contacted mueller and was still under their 1 year warranty. Glad they are standing by their product.
