Mueller MU-SSHYDPRESS tops the pile of the leading French press models in the market for a lot of reasons. But what makes it stand out among the rest and be the best French press is its overall build. This makes it a practical choice in any situation.

Mueller MU-SSHYDPRESS French press
Mueller MU-SSHYDPRESS is made of professional-grade 310 stainless steel material.

Compared to most French press models with glass and plastic parts, the entirety of Mueller MU-SSHYDPRESS is made of professional-grade 310 stainless steel material. Further, our team loves how polished each of its corners is, even the welded seams. We were also pleased with how blemish-free its interior is. With this, if aesthetics is just the standard, it’ll surely pass. But MU-SSHYDPRESS is more than that.

The thick stainless steel wall can retain the temperature much longer compared to its glass counterparts.

It weighs 2.2 pounds which is a bit heavy for a French press of this size but its double-insulation design will justify this. The stainless steel wall is doubled and can retain the temperature much longer compared to its glass counterparts. This also allows it to be a reliable company for your outdoor activities. If you don’t mind its relatively tall build, you can chuck it into your bag during camping without the fear of breakage.

It features a 4-level filtration system with 4 filters aided by a plunger rod that has superior rigidity. This is where we completely proved how quality each of its components is. All the screen filters fit like gloves inside and were perfectly made with no sharp edges in any section. Most of all, all filters stay steady as you push them downward for filtration. And comparing its performance to other single-filter models we tested, it scored higher by completely separating all the coffee grounds from the liquid. No grits at all down to the last drop of coffee from its carafe.
