ESPRO P7 Review (2026)
In-depth review of the ESPRO P7 32oz: the patented double micro-filter, double-wall steel, and whether it earns its premium price.
ESPRO P7 French Press 32oz, Polished
The press for people who love French press flavour but not the grit: a patented double micro-filter that strains twice before the cup.
Our verdict
The ESPRO P7 is the press to buy when grit is the complaint. Its double micro-filter genuinely leaves a cleaner cup than any standard mesh press here, while the double-wall steel body keeps the brew hot and the outside cool. The price is high and the capacity is smaller than the headline suggests, but for drinkers who love press flavour and hate the last gritty sip, it is the only press here that solves the problem rather than softening it.
What we like
- The patented double micro-filter strains the coffee twice, which leaves noticeably less grit in the cup than a standard mesh press.
- The double-walled steel body holds heat through the steep and beyond, so the second mug is still properly hot without reheating.
- The steel handle and lid feel solid and balanced in the hand, and the whole press is dishwasher safe for easy care.
What to watch out for
- The premium price is the highest here, and the improvement is in cup cleanliness rather than a different flavour altogether.
- The minimum brew is smaller than the headline capacity, so a full pot for guests needs planning rather than a casual fill.
- The finer filter needs a proper rinse after each brew, since fine grounds can cling to the micro-mesh if left to dry.
Who it is for
Drinkers who love full-bodied press coffee but dislike sediment, and who will pay more for the cleanest cup a press can give.
The double micro-filter, explained plainly
A standard press has one mesh, and fine particles pass it. The P7 strains the coffee twice through two fine filters, so the particles that slip the first screen meet a second one. The result is a cup that still tastes like press coffee, full and oily, but without the sludge that usually gathers at the bottom. It is not paper-filter clean, and it should not be, since paper would strip the oils that make press coffee distinctive. It is the cleanest a press cup gets while staying a press cup.
Built for the table, not just the kitchen
The P7's steel handle, balanced weight, and polished finish make it a press that suits serving at the table, not just brewing at the counter. The double-wall body means the outside stays comfortable to hold even when the coffee inside is freshly brewed, which matters when the press is passed around. It is also dishwasher safe, so the finer filter, which needs rinsing more carefully than a coarse mesh, can be cleaned without a fiddly hand wash every time.
How it stacks up
Against the Frieling 36oz, the P7 wins on cup cleanliness and loses a little on capacity and on the sheer solidity of Frieling's 18/10 build. Against the Mueller 34oz stainless, the P7 wins on filtration finesse and loses on price and on the useful travel canister. Against the Bodum Chambord 34oz, the P7 wins on insulation and cleanliness, while the Chambord wins on price and on watching the brew. Buy the P7 for the cleanest cup; buy the others for value or looks.

Questions, answered
Does the P7 filter really remove all grit?
No filter removes every particle, and the P7 does not claim to. It removes noticeably more fine sediment than a standard mesh press, so the last sip is cleaner, but a trace of fines can still settle. A coarse grind helps further, since it gives the filters less fine material to catch.
Is the 32 ounce P7 big enough for guests?
It covers about four small cups, but its minimum brew is 24 ounces, so very small brews are not its strength. For a table of heavy drinkers, the Bodum Columbia 51oz or Chambord 51oz is the better choice, while the P7 suits a household of two to four.
How do I clean the micro-filter?
Rinse it promptly after each brew, before grounds dry onto the fine mesh. The press is dishwasher safe, but a quick rinse under a tap straight after pouring keeps the filter performing at its best and takes only a few seconds.
