Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 57040 4 Cup Electric French Press, Black
Customer Review: Great coffee-portable, easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product for my sweetheart, an avid drinker of good coffee. The West Bend Electric French Press was perfect for her work, where heating (filtered) water was problematic. This product sufficiently heats the water to the necessary temperature and quickly produces a carafe that, after four minutes of steeping time, produces a top shelf cup of smooth coffee.
I also found the price to quite a bargain given the comparison to standard French Presses and the required extra preparation equipment needed. I'd have no problem paying a bit more for this, now that I've used it and see it's worth.
We took this device with us on a romantic get-away, along with a filtered-water pitcher and supply of fresh, course ground coffee, (both necessary for great coffee from a French Press), and enjoyed our mugs of java without having to leave the room.
Of course, no coffee maker can make a good cup of coffee with bad water or stale or ADC grind coffee, as I suspect to be the case in the few negative reports I've read about this item. I would also emphasize the clearly marked MAXIMUM fill line on the carafe being critical as filling above that mark may lead to grounds finding their way above the plunger screen and into your cup.
A competent operator is the best suggestion for consistent, quality operation of the West Bend Electric French Press and that's not included by the manufacturer.
