Lead shmed. These are gold. Their new stuff is absolutely terrible.

If they are toxic than color me cancer because my family has a set of those we’ve used for as long as I can remember

As a child I was severely burned by a glass French press that broke/exploded. I am still scarred on half my upper body. I would recommend not glass haha

FYI I literally did this process for a while (actually with this exact French press) and still had issues with the very fine grounds causing a blockage that required snaking, so YMMV.

I would still keep them as containers for other things.

Was grey but it looks more rugged that way. Wife got me a silver one and another painted tall one.

They’re expensive sure, but they absolutely are BIFL.

Either the red paint they use is susceptible to wearing out too fast, or I just use my red ones more often

Think it depends on how much coffee youre making, I prefer French press but typically make coffee for two people

Kind of the main reason I've stuck with Yeti is their Hotshot cap.
Just needs a little modding to get a handy carry ring

A air layer would work very well for insulation as well but now I'm curious if yetis truly have a vacuum and how much of one.

Send it. Anyone over 35 was drinking out of these daily; if you don’t use these replace everything you own with stainless steel no matter the cost. Everything gives you cancer.

I'm pretty sure Yeti and Ozark Trail are made in the same warehouse. I've got an old one that's solid. I prefer hydroflask but they're not cheap either.

I bought 1, lost it and bought two more,
First one for 5.99 next 2 for 7.99 each.

I've found that putting them in the dishwasher is a tossup. Once air (or heaven forbid, water) breaks the vacuum seal, they perform the same as a normal cup.
So long as you hand wash only they seem fine. But I don't have time for that so I stick to a normal bottle. Also they're bulky for the volume of liquid they hold.

They started punching big holes to make it easier for less experienced leather workers to stitch in order to meet demand. Quality is not the same as it used to be.

I have the Amazon rip off version of this French press and Ozark trail version of this cup, combined cost of 27 dollars and also BIFL

It's possible that over extraction could occur quickly, so the use of a thermal carafe to maintain the coffee's temperature would only be beneficial if you transfer the pressed coffee into it. This means that the statement about holding in the french press for a "long time" does not align with the importance of preserving the quality of the coffee. Imho.
