New Techy Spin On Coffee Press Blowing Up Kickstarter
The coffee world is about to be turned upside down. When seeking a portable coffee press, people often have to make a tradeoff when it comes to the quality of the coffee. But with the Pascal Press, coffee drinkers can have the best of both worlds. The Pascal Press will soon give coffee drinkers a portable coffee press that is fast, durable, cleans up easy, and most importantly, makes a great cup of coffee.
Pascal Press is the creation of Alan Kalfbleisch, an avid coffee drinker who grew frustrated with the overly bitter taste of coffee from the current crop of travel presses on the market. Being a thermo-fluid engineer, Kalfbleisch is the perfect person to create a portable coffee press than will revolutionize the coffee industry. What Kalfbleisch envisioned was a press that works fast, makes clean up easy, and produces a delicious cup of coffee free. The result is the Pascal Press, which checks all of those boxes and more.
What separates Pascal Press from other portable coffee presses is that it combines full immersion with pressure brewing, forcing the coffee grounds to remain separate from the coffee once they go through the filter. Being able to separate the grounds from the coffee ensures the quality of the coffee, no matter how long it takes you to drink it, which is not something that can be said about other portable pressers. This is made possible by the high quality of the materials used to produce the Pascal Press. Both the flow tube and filter are made of medical-grade stainless steel, which allow for a high-pressure brew in a short period of time and then prevent infiltration by the grounds afterwards.
Once you have made the coffee, you have a strong and durable cup that can hold up to 14 ounces of coffee. Both the outer and inner tubes of the Pascal Press are made of copolyester that's free of BPA, a chemical that's found in most plastics. The Pascal Press is insulated to keep your coffee warm, impact resistant to prevent cracking, and leak proof, including the lid. Rest assured, the Pascal Press has the durability to last for many years to come, and all materials made to produce it are FDA approved.
When you're finished drinking your coffee, the Pascal Press is easy to clean. With the grounds compressed and separated from the drink, all you have to do is remove the filter with the flow tube and the grounds come right out into the proper receptacle. This makes it easy to avoid a mess while cleaning up, and also makes it easy for you to have a second cup of coffee if you so desire.
Kalfbleisch and his team have tested out prototypes of the Pascal Press in the coffee community and it received rave reviews across Canada before the crowdfunding campaign was even launched. It has been praised for its simplicity, taking as little as one minute to brew a cup of coffee, as well as its taste, with one coffee shop owner describing coffee made from it as "clean, crisp, and excellent finish."
Pascal Press is the ideal combination of a travel mug and pressure brewer, and it's in the closing stages of a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising nearly $29,000 US with two weeks to go in the effort. Manufacturers are getting set up to make Pascal Press a reality, with production expected to begin early next year. After that, it won't be long until the Pascal Press revolutionizes how coffee drinkers make a cup of their favorite coffee while on the go.
