The packaging of the coffee pot leaves a positive impression. The shipping carton is made exclusively from recyclable and renewable materials such as paper and cardboard and is kept compact, which helps to minimise waste and avoids unnecessary packaging material. However, the use of plastic film inside could be reconsidered. Although it protects the product, the use of recyclable material would be desirable. The contents of the packaging are complete and in good condition. Although the product is largely self-explanatory, it would be desirable if operating instructions were included.

The Coffee Fox French Press impresses at first glance with its modern design and high-quality construction. A closer look reveals the meticulous workmanship: the double-walled stainless steel housing is robust and stable and all the individual parts of the plunger, including the sieve, are firmly connected to each other, guaranteeing smooth mechanics and a long service life . The use of durable materials such as stainless steel instead of plastic makes the jug a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. As no additional filters or accessories are required, waste is reduced. The 30-day money-back guarantee is also a positive highlight.

In our practical test, we evaluate the French press coffee pot from Coffee Fox® in various categories. The pressing mechanism of the pot proves to be extremely reliable and allows us to prepare coffee effortlessly. The pressing process is gentle and even, resulting in a full-bodied flavour experience. The sieve filters the coffee very effectively so that no unwanted coffee grounds particles remain in the beverage and the coffee is clear and flavourful without any unwanted residue. With an average brewing time of four minutes, it is clear that it is possible to prepare coffee quickly and still produce high-quality coffee. The double-walled stainless steel construction of the jug ensures very good thermal insulation. We found that the coffee stays warm for a long time and retains its full flavour, even if it is not drunk immediately. The jug is also easy to disassemble and clean, which makes care and maintenance much easier and contributes to long-term use.
Overall, the French press coffee pot from Coffee Fox® impressed us with its good filter performance, reasonable preparation time and excellent heat insulation, making it a recommended choice for coffee lovers who value quality and user-friendliness.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. Some criticise the fact that the logo starts to peel off after just a few washes. On the other hand, the flavour of the coffee, the ease of use and the long heat insulation are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the French press coffee pot is very easy to use and produces a very high-quality coffee in a very short time. We were unable to assess consumer criticism of the fast-dissolving logo in the short time available for testing.
Prices of up to €100.61 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €13.99 . The French Press coffee pot from Coffee Fox® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €29.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
