Not only does it press the coffee, it serves as a double insulated cup to drink from and take on the go with you! This is the perfect beverage tool for coffee aficionados who enjoy a custom cup of coffee but have a job that takes them on the road. Perfect for the tradesman, realtor, traveling salesperson, student, or anyone on the go. No coffee brewer needed, just hot water and ground coffee. Just drop the loose tea leaves in like you would with ground coffee, add the proper temperature water, insert the press and enjoy! So easy.
