Bayka French Press vs Utopia Kitchen Stainless Steel

Home brewers and campers seeking a glass French press with multi-stage filtration

Scores higher on brew quality & filtration, build quality & durability, ease of cleaning.

Insulated steel at the price most people pay for glass

Scores higher on heat retention, value for money, pour & handling.

• +A four-stage filter: mesh, spring disk, cross plate and a final screen, which is the most stages in this category
• +Two-year warranty, twice what Bodum or Mueller publish
• +1 litre of borosilicate glass, and the carafe disassembles for cleaning

• −Glass with no outer frame, so nothing protects it if it goes over
• −Not insulated, so the coffee cools in the pot
• −Bayka states replacement parts are not available, which on a four-stage filter matters

• +304 stainless steel, insulated and double walled at $24.99, under the $37.96 median
• +A four-layer filter, the most stages of any insulated press here
• +Four sizes from 355ml to 1479ml

• −Not dishwasher safe
• −No warranty term is published
• −No heat retention figure is published, so the insulation cannot be compared
