Thirteen-year-old coffee and tea preparation specialists ESPRO answered the call to deliver a full line of French Press coffeemakers that addresses entry-, mid- and top-tier price points. MAP for the new line starts at under $40, and every product delivers the quality brew that OPRAH Magazine featured last month, Wired called "A French Press that Works" and New York Times declared "Grit Free." "Our French Press has been king of the hill for three years, but its retail price kept it out of reach to many," explained ESPRO Co-Founder and President Bruce Constantine. "Our glass line delivers a better cup of coffee or tea than any other French press on the market … we guar- antee it! It's also safer and more break resistant. We worked for almost two years with German Schott-Duran to develop 40 percent thicker glass to reduce breakage, and invented a patent- pending safety lock that is like a seat-belt for the French Press. The seat belt elimi- nates the problem of slippage during pouring that led major French Press brands to do safety recalls in the last 20 years." The industry took notice in 2016. The line won the presti- gious best new product award in the Specialty Coffee industry, and separately in the Specialty Tea industry. Its travel press, which launched in 2015, gar- nered the best new product awards in that year too. Guaranteeing a better brew is an industry first; two innova- tions at the heart of the ESPRO Press process gives the company the con- fidence to know they can deliver. First, ESPRO's patented double micro-filter gives people the distinct, rich French press flavor they'd expect, without all the grit and sludge associated with a tradi- tional press. Second, the design of the press and filters stops extraction in the pot, so the last sip tastes as good as the first. For French-press coffee lovers, the ESPRO Press accom- plishes what was previously impossible: deep and rich fla- vor, with all the aromatic oils, yet without any grit in their cup. Pour-over coffee lovers get ultra-clean, oil-free coffee sim- ply by adding optional paper fil- ters included with each press. Tea lovers get perfect extraction from a tea-only micro filtration technology that stops brewing automatically, and can eas- ily be re-steeped multiple times. ESPRO is hosting all-day tastings.
