Secura SFP-17DS
Best Medium size french press coffee maker ~500-700ml – Budget – 0 $ to 60 $
The SECURA SFP-17DS is our Budget pick for anyone replacing breakable glass with a compact, sturdy press. Buyers praise its heat retention, easy cleaning and effective filter. Its 500 ml capacity suits one large mug or two small servings.
A compact press built for everyday use
The SECURA SFP-17DS uses a stainless-steel body rather than a glass carafe. That choice matters for people who have already broken a glass press, or who want a small brewer they can carry without worrying about the carafe. Buyers describe it as well made, sturdy and attractive. Several say it keeps coffee hotter than their former glass models.
We recommend the SECURA SFP-17DS as the Budget choice for a compact French press that prioritizes durability and heat retention. Buyers repeatedly praise its solid construction, effective filter and simple cleaning. One buyer who had cracked a glass press found the all-metal design reassuring; others describe it as a well-built replacement that keeps the remaining coffee hot. The reusable filter system also receives positive comments, including praise for its fit and the supplied replacement screens.
Who it’s for For one person who wants a large mug, or two people sharing smaller servings, and for anyone tired of broken glass carafes. It also suits buyers who value a press that comes apart easily for cleaning.
