Thanks so much, Dylan! We love hearing that the Core Coffee Press made such a good first impression, and that you can taste the difference. Here’s to many more great cups!

Had a lovely surprise today when this arrived, my son had bought it for me . I’ve also wanted a one cup cafetière and this is just perfect and ticks all the boxes. Coffee is lush that arrived with it too
That's great to hear and what a kind son 🙂. Enjoy your coffee, we love Pact coffee too!
Needed a new cafetière and this was on offer. Very pleased with it and the quality is excellent.
Such a great write-up and such a let down. The plunger doesn't go nearly deep enough so im left with soggy coffee grounds - leaving me to fish out the grounds so I'm not clogging my kitchen drain. My £6 M&S cafetiere does a better job. The only thing good about this one is there's no bits in my cup but that doesn't make up for the time wasting to get rid of the residue.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Maliya. We're really sorry to hear the Core Coffee Press hasn't lived up to expectations — that's not the experience we want for you at all. The plunger fit and full extraction are things we take seriously, and we'd love to look into this for you. Please reach out to us directly at hello@baristaandco.com and we'll make it right.
I hoped that by spending a little more I'd be getting a good quality product but the reality is that the £10 plastic framed press I bought from Amazon does a better job.
Out of the three that I have received so far, two have been faulty out of the box and the one I have been using seems to suffer from a simple design flaw in that the press does not rest at the top of the pot when put in place, it simply plunges on its own within seconds spoiling the process. Returned and awaiting refund. Customer service has been good and thank you to Ruth for your support
Hi Jonathan, thank you for your honest feedback and for your kind words about Ruth — we're glad she could support you throughout. We're sorry to hear the product didn't meet your expectations on this occasion. We take quality very seriously and your comments have been noted and will be shared with our team. We can see your return is being handled and we hope to resolve this for you very soon. We'd love the opportunity to restore your confidence in us.
Warm regards,

Love the recyclable packaging. Well done. Cafeterie is perfect as always
Hi Anne, thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're really glad the Cafetière is hitting the spot as always — and it means a lot to hear that the packaging made a good impression too. Sustainability is something we genuinely care about, so that really does make our day. Hope you're enjoying every cup! ☕
Warm regards, Barista & Co
More expensive than others? - yes.
Worth it? - all day long.
High quality, easy to maintain, lasts years. Only one I'll buy.
Hi Jai,
That's exactly what we love to hear — thank you! High quality, easy to maintain, lasts years. That's the goal, every time.

Trying to eliminate nanoplastics, I tried very hard to find a coffee maker without plastic parts that came in contact with the coffee. This French press is just perfect and makes great coffee.
Hi Ann! This genuinely made our day — thank you. 😊
The plastic-free brief was something we were really passionate about when designing the Core Press, so knowing it's landed with someone who cares just as much about it means a lot. Hope it becomes a staple in your morning routine!
Warmly,
The Barista & Co Team
Perfect for making Americano coffee. Preferred the copper one but wasn’t available.
Hi Emma,
So glad you're loving the Core Coffee Press for your Americanos! We'll definitely keep the copper version in mind for future stock. Thanks for your support!
I ordered a french press that was never delivered. I tried multiple times to contact them to help me locate the lost item and they never responded to any of my emails. I guess they got there money so screw me.
Hi Nathan, hands up, we did miss your email in December and I'm sorry about that. We have it now and will get it sorted out for you. Thanks
I ordered this all the way in the US since we don't have any fully stainless steel french press options & this was definitely worth it. It's easy to clean, has a great filter and doesn't give the coffee a weird taste. Would so recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled it made the journey to the US worthwhile. Enjoy your plastic-free coffee! ☕
I've used this coffee press for about a week and I am happy with my purchase. The handle is thicker than I expected (I was worried it would break easily), so I like that as well. I love the product is free of plastic as well!
My only gripe is the metal base. Bendable pins keep it in place, but eventually they lose their tension and the base falls off, requiring readjustment of the pins. I would rather just have something like a silicone base (which is not plastic, so would keep with the plastic-free ethos) that can be popped on/off whenever desired.
Makes amazing coffee and tea, no plastic and cute colors? I will never buy another French press. I have two, one in silver and one in what I call pink. I live in the US so I am also paying to have this shipped from the UK because I refuse to have any other French press!
Purchased this as I wanted something completely plastic-free and it's exactly what I was hoping for. Was nervous ordering from the U.S., especially considering the condition of the outer/exterior box it arrived in, but it was thankfully all in one piece. Great purchase/experience so far. Also, very easy to clean.
Thanks for such a great review Katelyn, we really appreciate it. Enjoy your coffee.
Best cafetière I’ve ever bought
Music to our ears Daniel and thank you so much for the kind review. James
Love it’s plastic free great quality and stylish
perfect for gifting!
Thanks Faith, we really appreciate your review. James
I'm so pleased to have found a plastic free cafetiere and this one makes excellent coffee. The beaker arrived slightly scratched and Barista & Co replaced it incredibly quickly. Very impressed both with the quality of the product and the customer service. Thank you!
Thank you for such a kind review and we are very happy that you got the item you wanted.
The design is great, but there are scratches and discolouration marks on beaker, I expect more quality control with this price range. I am still waiting for the new stock so that it could be replaced. I also ordered coffee beans tasting package they taste good, but I don’t expect them to be grounded as it will lose flavours once grounded, maybe I missed the description or something. Would be great if it could be mentioned in the product title to remind customers about that in the future.
Hello, sorry you faced this issue. We do occassionally have product faults but we will always rectify these. We are awaiting a part coming in tonmorrow and it will then be sent out to you. Our discovery pack does state pre ground in the title but we will try and make that more obvious. Many thanks
Beautiful little piece of kit. Perfect for my one cup in the morning!
Hi Anna, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We really appreciate it. James
Love the press, exactly what I was looking for--box it came in was absolutely crushed. A shame because I could see myself ordering the larger size, but it does feel a little risky considering I'm surprised the first one arrived unbroken.
I appreciate the desire for environmentally friendly packaging, but when it comes to glassware a fragile sticker might go a long way in ensuring things make it across the pond in one piece.
Edit 5/29/24 -
Amended stars in review as the company reached out very promptly and let me know they were going to do something about packaging. Makes me feel much more secure in future purchases knowing that customer service is very quick and willing to assist.
Thanks for your review and kind words about our Core Coffee Press Caitlyn, I'm pleased to hear you love the coffee maker. We're investigating the packaging issue now as this certainly isn't the unboxing experience we want people to have - if you happen to have any photos of the box, please could you send them to us at hello@baristaandco.com. Thank you in advance.
Lovely copper cafetiere that my Dad was thrilled with.
Very good buy.
Top quality again looks good which for me is good easy to use and clean … and I forgot to mention it makes a good cup of coffee ☕️
A good quality coffee maker.
My only minor issues are that there was a small scratch on the copper paint work and the plunger is slacker than others I have used.
But most importantly it looks good and the coffee tastes good.
Very original attractive design.
Great little caffetiere. Functional and beautiful!
Great quality product! I now have both sizes. Wish they’d make a 12 cup also!
