Stanley Boil & Brew French Press | Camp Coffee Maker Review

- The Stanley boil and brew french press coffee maker is my new favorite way to make coffee while camping. For $25 you are getting a simple to use all in one french press coffee maker and boiling pot. It uses less fuel than a percolator which for me is a major upside as the butane cartridges can empty pretty quick if you are percolating coffee every morning as well as the normal camp cooking tasks.

I just use the Stanley stainless cook pot from the 2-cup cook set and a cut down plunger out of a cheap Ikea French press.
It works for a cup or so at a time.
I've got one of those, too. It works great, love how it doubles as a food mixing pot. Good for hot lunches.
Love all the brewing size options. Looks lovely. Highly recommend it!
Thanks for the video. I just ordered one as I'm new to camping and want to be able to enjoy some coffee in the morning.
FOR COFFEE LOVERS, the day doesn't just begin with a good, hot cup of coffee-it seems almost impossible without it. It's not only the dose of caffeine that does the trick, although that does help. It's also the ritual that surrounds it-the smell, the sound, even the wait are all a part of how coffee gets the day started right.
Coffee makes me have to take a poop
I considered getting one of these when first starting van adventures. I decided to use what I had. A thrift store TWA coffee pot from the former airline. Heavy aluminum base (rapid heat conductor) stainless pot using a Molita pour over into my RTIC cup. I boil a full pot of water putting the other half into a Stanley thermos. I have access to hot water for about 24 hours to use for tea, Ramen, hot chocolate or a sponge bath.
Thx for the video was on the edge but definitely trading in my glass french press for this one!
Cheers. Can’t wait to use my Stanley French Press on my next camping adventure.
I like your cooking set up. I've been researching and going from nearly $200 mugs that just make hot water to few $ for camping stoves, etc, back down to little backpacking cooking stoves. I think a burner like yours, is stable and versatile, especially since I'm not planning to backpack but just car camping.
Nice video. As I'm sitting at camp drinking my instant coffee watching this.... Amazon order confirmed.
Just grabbed one and it makes really good coffee and the ease of cleanup makes this a gem. Even if I hiked, I'd still carry it.
Very good reviews. I liked that u mentioned the simple things like, keep it under the fill line n demonstrated y; n that it’s not a perfect pour because of the over drip.
Keep up the good work. I like to see more of ur videos in relations to car camping equipment for ppl that work/travel out of their cars…that’s almost backpacking with wheels.
I actually bought one of those for myself and my husband to use while Camping, RVing and Boating/fishing. I didn't have it long 😄 BECAUSE my USMC Son wanted it to take with him in the field when on deployments! HE LOVES IT !
Well, I missed having it so I bought two more !! Yes 👍, 2 more. One for husband and me, and a spare one for my Marine Son should he lose his. He is a Recon Marine in a very small unit so having fresh coffee is pure luxury for them before or after executing on their missions. Thanks STANLEY 😊 !!
PS Don't put the lid on while you are pressing the press down, then you can fill it to the max line and it won't spill over the top. It's the air pressure that causes it to do that when the lid is on 😉.
Thank you for your son and his service.
@@justsayin7704 Thank you for your kind words. I'll pass it along to my USMC Son when next we speak. Hoping to see him next month, if possible... fingers crossed 🤞 🙏.
thank you. exactly what I was hunting for
Automatic thumbs up for the quotes around “Overlanding” aka expensive car camping.
I love mine! I even use it in the house.
Drinking coffee and watching this. Going to order one now.
Great job with this description!
I ordered one of these. Thanks for showing us.
Excellent review. Thanks.
Awesome review thanks for sharing.
this convinced me. I bought one today at The Evil Box Store. Looking forward to my first trip of '21
Works at home also.
Thanks for the timely video … I was looking for something like that …hopefully that’s an affiliate link; I’m going to try it out. Good videos overall, thanks for putting those out too!
I love dark roast. Any recommendations please? I would love to try something new especially local coffee shop across the US and other countries. Thanks!
That happens because you press it with the lid on. There’s no where for the air to go to fast enough so it pushes the water out. Do the French press part without the lid on so the air can vent out fast enough. I never have that issue with out the lid on. Cheers.
That’s not the issue. I found leaving the silicone ring in the coffee for a minute let’s it swell up more and stop the coffee from seeping up the sides past the ring and spilling over.
@@DonnieDispersed guess not all rubber rings are made the same. Stay safe.
So can you put the coffee grounds inside of the plastic filter, let it steep and then just pull the filter out along with the coffee grounds? That way, you can let extra coffee sit in the pot without it over-brewing. I call it the "French pull"
Leave the filter in. It compresses the grounds into a cake at the bottom. No water circulates through the grounds so you don't over-brew. If you pull the filter out you end up mixing the grounds back into the coffee.
It would take a minute for the coffee to drip through
because the coffee would be stuck in the filter. The filter is super fine ment for no passing grounds so it just wouldn't work out like you think.
Great video! Thanks dude!
Nice review
U have changed my life.. ❤❤❤❤
Man, this would actually be sweet for work. There’s no coffee places open at 2:00 am. Good for weekend camping too. Thanks man gonna give a little think about this product!!
That's exactly what I got it for. Works great. The Stanley adventure set stacks nice with it too except for the lid. My whole cook set, fuel and all will fit inside this
I'm wondering if they've changed the design. Mine has a double silicon seal in that wide groove on the bottom. It seals so tight that you have to turn inner cylinder to pull it out when it's dry.
I use my Aeropress and love how easy to clean it is.
Nice video fun and informative thank you
Here's how to fix the spillage issue you're having. I think most of these French presses have to be pressed very slowly to prevent seal seepage. That made me what you're experiencing.
Also you could press it with the lid off…
I use a 6 cup Espresso Venus by Bialetti. . That way I can share with friends when I am camping with them or I’ll have lots of coffee. , All they need to do is 8oz of hot water. Thank You fir your videos. I made one but not even close as nice as to yours.
Off-GRID CAMPOUT IN MY SUBARU CAMPER CONVERSION 2020
I bought this based on this and other TH-cam videos. Wow. It makes great coffee. I'm sold. You will be too.
If you take the lid off when pressing and pouring it will spill less. I bought another Stanley press and got a plastic taste. Did you get this?
Nice job!
I have this unit and like it. My problem with percolators is it’s hard to tell when the coffee is at the proper strength.
Great video dude, I’m one of those back packers that keep it light but I’m transitioning into car camping. Picked one of these at a box store. Going out this weekend for 3 days with my hot hammock tent set up and with snow in the forecast I can’t wait to not be drinking instant
How was it? Did the french press work great for your camping trip?
@@GodActiothat trip we ended up getting 14 inches of snow and it was 9 F high. The coffee press worked great, I’ve transitioned away from a jet boil to this with a pocket burner with backpacking/car camping/ motorcycle camping trips.
@@glenngotts1380 thanks! I went and bought myself a frenchpress, holy shit makes good coffee!
Nice video. Good job.
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 muy buen video!!!
A question please, surely the French press takes as long as a percolator?
How many scoops of coffee did you add to the amount of water you used?
So, how much coffee grounds do you use for 2 people’s?
Man I have one of these and I feel my coffee grinder all the way up in the coffee still comes out kind of lighter and looking like yours. I'm wondering if I'm just not making it strong enough or if it's the lighting or what
Love your videos! Thx! One of your first videos that was only about 3 mins long about your starting out on your Subaru journey and I shared that to a support group of people starting their lives over. It was very inspiring to a lot of people but recently it was marked private. Any chance you can repost that or change the privacy setting on it? It was very inspiring and would love to share that with people struggling. Thx! Great videos!
Thanks Mike, I made that one private because it didn’t really make sense given that Covid really derailed that trip and video series. Felt like an intro to a video series that didn’t really work out the way I wanted. Maybe I’ll do another video along those lines in a context that will make more sense for future videos.
@@DonnieDispersed understand. It was such an inspiring video for me a others who have gone through a relationship reset in our lives and not to be afraid to start in a complete new direction. But still enjoy all your videos. I have a 2016 outback and built a sleeping platform for the back. Some day I’ll be getting a van too!
Stanley had a camping french press that doubled as a cruiser mug.
Got one for $1.50 at a thrift store. Really just wanted the steel mug. Now I know how to use it, properly. (BTW: Coffee that tastes like meat. Doesn't seem SO terrible to me. Esp. if it's bacon)
Hey Donnie, quick question about your subaru. I'm trying to find rain guards for my front windows but the windows are frameless (idk if yours were like that) people are saying the glass will just hit the guards because of this issue so i'm not sure if i can even put rain guards on my 97 legacy outback or if there is some kind of ran guard that can work around this.... you know what i mean? any suggestions would be appreciated
I haven’t been able to find anything that will work with the frameless windows either unfortunately.
Great video! I’d love to know what gear you use to film
Mostly an old Canon sl2 and some prime lenses.
Thank you
The Stanley adventure all in one coffee system is way better IMO. It's a cooking pot, water bottle, french press, 2 coffee cups or one insulated coffee cup, coffee storage container, and a thermos all in one. They're hard to find now, but I highly recommend it. It works great, and the thermos function works surprisingly well considering how it's designed. Also it's more towards 1 or 2 people. It's a bit more spendy, I think like 30 or 40 (I forgot.)
I couldn't find one either that I need for next weekend camping trip. I went to Walmart online, ordered it Tuesday, got it today! :)
How much coffee do you use?
Hmmm. Aside from using aluminum foil with something on top, what would you use as a lid to speed the boiling?
I have a Nalgene nesting cup. It sits just about perfectly inside the top, or I can flip it over if I want to fill the pot.
I am guessing that the 4-5 minute wait doesn't render the coffee too cool to drink on a cold morning, or do you keep burner going during that time period.
Thanks,
It’s still plenty hot for me. I run the burner on low for a couple mins then turn it off and wait the 5mins.
Hello , does leaving the grounds over time inside get the coffee biter ??
Do you mean when it’s still on the stove? I haven’t noticed it being too bitter doing this. If you mean throughout the morning I usually drink it too fast for it to be sitting around too long.
It goes in my motocamping kit!! Yes, no boil! shoot for 190 -200F according to a coffee barista from a unnamed store. I wait until my water gets the little bubbles and you feel like in the next 30 seconds it will go to a rolling boil. I pull it from the heat and that's pretty close! Thanks for the vid, I completely botched the process, so thanks for the directions! I hate reading!
........Also, I usually have a pour over, but you only get 1 cup. this gets me 2-3!
How does it do with keeping the grounds from escaping into the cup ?
It actually does a pretty good job. The last bit can be a little silty but if you use a coarser grind it’s even better
“It kinda smells like meat...” I’m dead 😂
pro tip : watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Cairo Landyn yup, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
@Cairo Landyn Yea, have been using flixzone for months myself :)
I have same I have been using it wrong LOL
I misread that and saw Donnie Depressed. 🤣 I was like damn man, the internet is not the place to admit that.
Check out the Kelly Kettle, no fuel needed.
I think you’re awesome!
Nobody in comments is talking about how you clean the filter? Is it reuseable? How durable is it?
Yes it’s reusable, just rinse it out.
I’m in need of the silicone gasket at the bottom of the press. Anyone know where I can find one?
Contact Stanley, they have a lifetime warranty.
would Highly recommend boiling your water from that stream let it cool down then add your coffee.
Survival Resources has a stainless lid that will fit that neat pot.
Can you share the link?
@Donnie Dispersed try not using the lid when pouring 😊
I'll stick with my trusty old perculator pot.
I really don't see how this is much different, when you done a comparison to the perculator vs French press. They're both hot water & coffee grounds, makes a cup of hot coffee.
I have several od percolator makers and thought they were the best available. Then I found a tossed away French Press at a thrift store. I just use Folgers Black Silk and it is so bloody smooth. No more bitterness. My old perculators all got cleaned up and put out on shelves as kitched display items. Just try it.
@@clydedenby1436 If I ever run across one, I'll latch on to it, just for curiosity. I may be a changed man... you never know...lol
That problem that you have with the coffee spilling out. Its because the lid. Press the coffee without the lid and it will not spill over. Also you want to be careful about leaving the pot on the heat with the filter in it. The plastic can olly take so much heat before it gives out, and starts bending out of shape.
It’s not the lid. I use this pot every day, I leave the press in for 3-4 mins to swell the silicone seal.
I must have strong latte or espresso so my machine comes with me anywhere I go.
Get a grinder. Place just ground beans into clean stainless vessel with water. Place vessel over flame. When water boils and most of the grounds have sunk, pour into filter dripping directly into insulated stainless (no plastic liner) mug with lid.
Get a cheaper to operate stove. I have a dual fuel MSR mostly for boiling. A Coleman propane for everything else. Advantages to having two stoves using two different fuels.
I like your idea of a grill over the stove for pans that are too small for the stove's own grill.
I'd drink pine needle tea before I'd drink instant. Though if you must, I find the freeze dried kind is best.
If this stove ever craps out I’ll likely look for a dual fuel just to open up some options.
@@DonnieDispersed I had a Coleman "suitcase" style dual fuel bought almost new at a garage sale for $40. Best stove if you have the room and don't ming pumping up the cylinder. My campsite near lake shasta was robbed when I drove into town one day. Lost everything but my old sleeping bag and tent. The stove went to an undeserving new owner. Not a good feeling knowing you just outfitted a criminal with a complete coming kit and put out to replace all that stuffe
@@samshepperrd jeez, that bites. One of my biggest concerns with leaving camp with gear set up. Sorry that happened.
I am pretty sure if you take the lid off while pressing it will not over flow.
I had thought of that too, but it made no difference. There’s a large hole where the spout is so no extra pressure builds up with the lid on.
Try inserting in the press into the pot BEFORE pouring hot water in. Not exactly French Press but it is mess free. You have to boil the water in a separate pot but you don't have to worry about the water line.
Defeats the purpose of bringing just one vessel. When camping you bring less, not more. Lol.
You're right but it's the only way to get this Stanley maker to work 100% without spilling hot water everywhere. Chances are you have a pot somewhere to cook food. @@carmenmartinez2882
My walmart gas stove percolator makes awful , bad coffee. My glass percolator makes delicious coffee, I have no idea why
whats the link on that grate u use on your stove
It’s a little Webber grill grate I got at the hardware store, here’s a link to it on amazon though. amzn.to/3xiH7MT
I like it and I'm going to get one. Currently $20.72 on Amazon.
Cowboy coffee meets french press.
"the seal creates the pressure" ???
Do you need 'pressure' when you push down ?
The 'seal' keeps the coffee grounds from 'escaping', and that's all !
🙂👍☕☕
Kinda smells like meat...ROFL...love it!
Are you sure there weren't any beavers upstream? According to the USFS, no water in North American streams is safe to drink. Treat it or boil the hell out of it or you'll get beaver fever. .
If you pour faster, maybe you could get the top to come off and then you'd have something else to find fault with, you clod. Maybe try using the item the way it's intended. Then you wouldn't have issues. But then you wouldn't have your video.

Instant coffee is made from owl meat.
That coffee looks Weak!🤭 I can't stand "Transparent Looking COFFEE or COLD Either!"🤬 I love 💞 it *Hot n Black in my Yeti!!☕👅*
If it smells like meat its probably gravy granuals sorry cant spell granuals
Fuck yeah! Instant coffee sucks!! There ain’t nothing like the real thing!
This looks to complicated!
It wouldn't leak if you would get it hot enough to make the gasket seal. Oh that's some weak ass coffee!
I’m sorry I made you drink it 🤔 and it’s had the leak issue since the first time I used it. Boiled water or not.
@@DonnieDispersed Stanley has an excellent return & replace policy and I've used a Press for more years than you have been living.
Okay 🤷♂️
