I drank an ocean of store brand Kool-aid out of those pitchers on the left in the early 80’s.

That could make your coffee taste less than ideal, if you are storing the brewed coffee in there. French press needs to come off the grounds after the brew or it will over extract. I suppose if you mean it keeps it hotter during the brewing time, you’re right about that. But then if it is hotter in the cafetière it will brew slightly faster too.

These are like 50 years old so yeah i'll figure out what to do thanks

Yeah, probably m8. Plastics degrade and if these are over (apparently) 13 years old then it’s not worth the risk.

Okay so i should gut these? All answers/info i'm finding are pretty vague.

I've been aeropressing into this johnny for 10 years now and still works great. I love knowing I can throw it in a bag with my laptop and know that it will be leak proof. Liquids stay hot for at least 12 hours if you want. . .https://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Ounce-Vacuum-Insulated-Travel/dp/B0039SLSU6/

Yeti Press

I'll give this a shot now! Thank you!!

Yes. How much did you pay for yours, if I may ask?

I have both and agree with both! Mueller has been used daily for years though, and I’ve had to replace the mesh filters a few times but overall 10/10 would recommend them both!

ive had this problem. people swore up and down that vinegar would do it - nope.

fabric softener + a few wash cycles worked wonders.

I was thinking about that, i'll do some research.

Ozark Trail, by chance? Have one and it is amazing.

Those are sweet but do research on the plastic to make sure they aren’t toxic

that would be for /r/BIFV, buy it for vanity

Glad I didn’t put a Rolex in the photo too, you’d have really raked me over the coals.

I'm guessing the bottom white piece is from a different and slightly older set as it's lid is a different style but a great find nonetheless.

Score of a lifetime.

Nice, that thought never even crossed my mind. But glad to hear they are least we're helpful when you called in about it. Hopefully the new one lasts for years like it has for others.

Same here.

I'm with you. We have replaced the decanter of glass press once in 10 years. It cost 12 dollars at Macy's. Not a big deal. Also my husband hates the taste of coffee and steel

Use vinegar to soften them up faster though

We are currently using the striped ones as well, after about 5 or so wash and dry cycles, like heaven!

They take a few wash and dry cycles to reach their great feel
