WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

ATK independently found that the inexpensive steel press brewed especially smooth coffee, stayed fairly hot for an hour and was easy to clean. It earns selection because its money goes to insulation, metal construction and a functional filter—not prestige—while its lightweight feel and dribbling spout keep it below the top steel presses.

MATERIALS
