You know what's the best part about waking up in the morning? Of course you do. It's a cup of piping hot coffee, made just the way you like it. But let's be honest, sometimes making coffee can be a pain.
Especially if you're using one of those old-fashioned drip coffee makers. What is this, the waiting area at a tire store? No, no, no, my friend. You deserve better than that.
You deserve the Espro French Press Coffee Maker.
Espro’s coffee presses make it super easy to make smooth, delicious coffee, and they’re even easier to clean up afterward.
Plus, the different models come in a variety of complementary colors to match your kitchen décor (as long as your kitchen isn't filled with avocado-colored appliances and mauve countertops, in which case you might have bigger problems).
So ditch Mr. Coffee—he’s a bit of a drip anyway—and upgrade to an Espro coffee press. Then, watch your mornings transform from hectic to euphoric.
Pressing the Issue: How are Espros Different?
The Espro coffee presses are different than other French presses on the market mainly because of Espro's double micro-filter design.
Wait, don’t leave—I know that sentence sounds exactly like that time Tony Soprano said "It's part of Nissan's triple-safety philosophy," but in this case it actually means something. (Plus I've never killed anyone on a boat, so there's that.)
Every Espro coffee press comes with 2 micro-filters. The first filter keeps the grinds out of your cup, and the second filter… keeps grinds out of your cup. This ensures that only ultra-smooth, rich, delicious coffee makes it into your mug.
In other words, you get a cup of joe that's free of grit and full of flavor. That’s not Espro’s slogan or anything, but it should be. For more general info on Espro brewers and why they’re better than your basic French Press, check out Understanding Espro Coffee Presses.
Espro P3 vs P5 vs P7 vs Travel Press
Espro coffee presses comes in several different models: the P3, the P5, the P7, and the Travel Press. The main differences between these models are:
- The build materials/finish
- The available sizes
However, from the naming scheme, you may have noticed that one of these things is not like the other. The Espro Travel Press is a smaller, more portable version of the Espro press that's perfect for taking on the go. It has all the same features as the other Espro presses, but it's just a little bit more compact and practical for travel. (It’s also ridiculously affordable—check out the Espro Travel Press here.)

Compared to the other models, the Espro P3 is the more standard, entry-level model in the Espro press line. Its form is a little more like a traditional French Press, but it still has dual micro-filters to help weed out the riff-raff (i.e. grounds) from your cup.

The Espro P5 and Espro P7 are for folks who like to take things up a notch, or who take their coffee a little more seriously. These models feature a sturdier build and are available in multiple sizes.

All of the Espro presses are made with high-quality materials, and they all make damn good coffee, so it really comes down to your own personal preference in terms of which model you choose.
That said, I highly recommend the P5 or P7—but then, I'm a sucker for shiny (or matte) things.
Is an Espro Press Worth It?
In a word? Hellyes.
Espro French Press coffee makers are a great way to upgrade your daily cup(s) of coffee. They're made meticulously with high-quality metals and thick glass, and they're very easy to use and clean up.
Espro's dual micro-filter philosophy ensures that your coffee grounds are evenly distributed and that the coffee is brewed evenly. I mean, what more could you ask for?
The only potential drawback of the Espro press is that it's a bit more expensive than some of the other (more disposable) French presses on the market. But trust me when I say that it's worth every penny. Once you've tried the smooth, delicious coffee from an Espro press, you'll never go back to your old brewing ways.
So if you're looking for a great coffee press to upgrade your mornings (or any time of day), I highly recommend checking out Espro's line of coffee presses. And if you're more of the pour-over type (no judgment here) check out the Espro Bloom to upgrade your pour-over experience.
