YETI Rambler™ French Press FAQ

FAQs

How does YETI’s French Press compare to other French Press products on the market?

The YETI™ Rambler™ French Press leads with durability and thermal performance offering double-wall vacuum insulation. We’ve engineered our GroundsControl Filter which stops the brewing process after plunging, allowing the consumer to keep their coffee hot in their YETI™ French Press vessel without over-extracting their coffee. Additionally, we’ve added our DuraSip™ Ceramic lining for a smooth pour and easy cleaning experience. An elongated handle for a comfortable and controlled grip on the vessel and a non-slip foot makes for a soft landing onto surfaces. The plunger construction is clean and bull simple, no small parts or difficult assembly experiences. The vessel and all components are dishwasher safe.

Are there any best practices or instructions included for how to use the French Press for coffee or tea?

YETI offers the Rambler™ French Press in two sizes, 1 L for 2-4 cups of coffee and a 1.9 L similar to a pot of coffee. Please reference the recipe instructions provided with each French Press. Coffee is very personal, please modify the recipe as you see fit. If you want more tips and tricks, please visit this page.

Are there any safety instructions included for how to use the French Press?

Do not use excessive force when pressing the plunger down as this can cause hot contents to rapidly eject from the product creating a scald hazard. If the plunger becomes difficult to push down, remove the plunger, stir the contents, and then slowly plunge again. Please reference the insert provided with each French Press for more detailed information.

Can I still use the French Press without the GroundsContol Filter Over-extraction Barrier Gasket?

Yes, it’s possible to use it without the GroundsControl Filter but not recommended as the Filter allows the consumer to keep coffee in the press until ready to serve. Without the Filter, the user will have to pour contents out immediately to avoid over-extracting the coffee.

Is the French Press insulated? Will it keep my coffee hot in between pours?

Yes, like all Rambler® Drinkware Vessels, the French Press is double-wall vacuum insulated to keep your coffee hot until your next pour.

What is the preferred temperature of water for optimal brewing?

Please reference the use instructions provided with purchase. YETI recommends hot water at 200F or 93C.

Is the French Press customizable?

No, the French Press is not yet available to customize on YETI.ca.

How fine should I grind the coffee beans when using the French Press?

Please reference the use instructions provided with purchase. YETI recommends using coarsely ground coffee. Do not use fine ground coffee. Using fine ground coffee can clog the filter causing the plunger to become difficult to use and high pressure to build in the product.

Can I store my French Press in the fridge or freezer?

Similar to our insulated Rambler® Products, we do not recommend placing the French Press in the freezer as loss of vacuum may occur. You may place the French Press in the fridge to chill but please keep in mind, condensation may build up after removing due to the product transitioning from a cold environment to a warm environment.

Can the French Press be used to brew tea?

Yes, the French Press can be used to brew both coffee and tea.

How many cups does the french press make?

The 1 L can brew 2-4 cups and the 1.9 L can brew 6+ cups.

Are there any safety instructions included for how to use the French Press?

Do not use excessive force when pressing the plunger down as this can cause hot contents to rapidly eject from the product creating a scald hazard. If the plunger becomes difficult to push down, remove the plunger, stir the contents, and then slowly plunge again. Please reference the insert provided with each French Press for more detailed information.

To install the lid, do I twist the metal plunger knob or the clear plastic lid part?

The clear plastic lid part is the component to turn to lock into the vessel. Place your fingers on the clear plastic groves for optimal control and grip when installing or removing the lid. This ensures your lid is securely on when you pour.
