Pardon me venting my frustrations here on FR. If I thought I could pull off getting this thing manufactured, I'd do a kickstarter campaign or something.

Why not use a regular single wall coffee press and pour the coffee into a thermos?

I give you an A+ for at least trying to purchase American made.

Good going.

We switched from a press to a percolator. Stainless steel, 12-cup model made by Coleman (the camping supply company). You can look at a photo of it on amazon.

Percolating the coffee gets it really hot - a much higher temperature than you can achieve with a press or drip machine. Critics of this method claim it makes the coffee taste burned - we disagree. The process actually brings out the flavor.

After seven minutes of percolation we pour it into a stainless steel thermos.

I believe the Bunn coffee stuff is made in the USA.

Maybe this new startup? https://www.itsamericanpress.com

Shouldn’t a good French press coffee maker be made in France?

Some possibilities.

If you have an Amazon account, you can ask a question to find out if it is made in USA.

Please do vent your frustrations here. We have the next four years to bring back ordinary products to the USA. A very close window although I suspect our next prez will prevail for 8 years!

And pardon me for pointing out that coffee presses are so bleeding French they standup and wave a white flag whenever La Marseillaise is played. The French don't brush their teeth very often so what's a few stuck coffee grains entre amis.If you're having trouble finding one made here that is one reason why.

Sorry, had to vent.

I get frustrated with the Chinese-made crap that we are forced to settle for. The quality stinks. I find that Crate and Barrel, Williams-Sonoma and Table le Sur have some good quality items that are not all made in China. I have a KitchenAid stand mixer that was made in the USA and it has never given me a moment of trouble.

AeroPress is the best general single-cup coffee maker. $30, made in USA.
(Coffee snob here.)

Try this. I use Chemex 4 cup maker. Is very fast and good. No muddy coffee that a press gives.

Pressed coffee is the best. Second best, IMO, is Keurig with Sam's Club Colombian cups.

We moved into a smaller place and have no room for the Keurig, so we switched to an EXCELLENT instant coffee. It's the same brand as the cups were were using:

Can’t help with the coffee maker, so off topic, but I just this week needed a new hair trimmer. Wanted LiIon instead of the old, unreliable NiMH tech, and the best product I found after some cursory search was from the Wahl Co., Ill. Made in the USA, $15, delivered to the door here in Germany. How about that!

Do you mean 10 8 oz cups, or 10 ‘coffee’ cups?

I’m an idiot. I don’t know what a coffee “press” is.
