Review: Cozyna Eden French Press

Cozyna makes a great french press! I’ve had the opportunity to try this press out and it passed the test of brewing loose leaf tea with flying colors.

The glass beaker is nice because you can see exactly when your tea or coffee is finished brewing, it just comes with a warning not to plunge too fast because the hot liquid might spill out. The plunger was easy to push down on lightly and my tea was perfectly strained. There were no bits of tea leaf floating around in the beaker.

I made just enough tea for one cup and, if you’re looking to make a lot of coffee at one time, this really isn’t the way to go. However, it does make a good brew. Just add boiling hot water and see. My tea was darker and more flavorful after steeping this way as opposed to microwaving the mug of water. All in all, my first french press experiences were easy peasy and I had a great time. Now, I can make expensive coffee beverages that are more flavorful and full-bodied than just brewing in the standard drip coffee maker.

Cozyna’s glass french press also makes me feel kind of like a mad scientist-barista. The press is exquisitely beautiful and well crafted. The price is comparable to a cheap, low-end coffee maker. Yet in the end, you don’t have to mess around with disposable filters that can collapse and leave grounds in your coffee.
