Coffee magic in the wild: The Bestargot Titan French Press 750ml in practical test

Why outdoor enthusiasts choose this press can

Anyone who doesn't want to miss out on aromatic coffee while hiking or camping quickly reaches practical limits. The titanium camping French press elegantly solves this problem – it weighs less than a bar of chocolate and fits even in fully packed backpacks. Last summer, I tested it on a three-day hike in the Black Forest and was surprised at how well it worked, even in strong winds.

Technical highlights in detail

The heart of this outdoor cooking set is the specially hardened titanium filter. In my test, it reliably held even coarsely ground coffee without any residue. The double-walled construction ensured that the coffee remained piping hot even after two hours in the cold – perfect for extended photo breaks with mountain panoramas.

Use cases from the community

Outdoor guide Markus from Berchtesgaden regularly uses the press pot on winter tours: "The titanium doesn't react to temperature shocks – you can place it directly from the fire into the snow without any material damage." Incidentally, on my last camping trip on the Baltic Sea, the pot also proved its worth as a practical storage container for spices.

What particularly convinces customers

Compared to my old aluminum press, the titanium coffee maker doesn't alter the flavor. Even acid-sensitive test subjects praised the mild taste. The handles on the bottom allow for safe handling, even with gloves—an often underestimated advantage in frosty morning temperatures.

Maintenance tips for long durability

Simply rinse with clean water after each use. For stubborn residue, baking soda is an environmentally friendly cleaning agent. Important: Regularly unscrew the sieve mechanism and clean between the metal slats – otherwise, coffee grease will collect there.
