• +Vacuum-sealed double-wall stainless steel with the plunger built into a spill-resistant lid, so it brews and travels in one vessel
• +A silicone non-slip grip
• +Dishwasher safe, with a one-year Bodum warranty

• −440ml, by far the smallest here, which is one cup
• −A single filter stage
• −Bodum notes the second lid is no longer included, so there is nothing to seal it with while you drink

• +Stanley warrants its drinkware for the life of the product, the only lifetime cover in this category
• +4 hours hot and 9 hours cold, both published, against 60 minutes from the Coffee Gator
• +1.4 litres, the largest here, in two layers of 18/8 stainless steel
• +The maker publishes its own 5-minute brew time and a medium-coarse grind

• −A single filter stage, where presses at a third of the price run four
• −1.4 litres is a lot of pot if you brew one cup
• −Steel hides the brew, so timing is by clock rather than by eye
