Espro Teams Up with Schott Duran to Create New Glass Espro Press

Vancouver, BC, Canada, March 4, 2016 – ESPRO® announced today that they have teamed up with Schott Duran of Germany to cre­ate the lat­est inno­va­tion from ESPRO – the new P5 Glass ESPRO Press. The P5 Glass ESPRO® Press uses the same patented dou­ble micro-filter tech­nol­ogy from the award win­ning stain­less steel ESPRO Press. With ESPRO’s col­lab­o­ra­tion with German engi­neers from Schott Duran, ESPRO was able to cre­ate a glass press that is 40% thicker, thus cre­at­ing greater heat reten­tion and dura­bil­ity than tra­di­tional French Presses found in the mar­ket.

“At ESPRO we are proud to be a vital part of the cof­fee and tea com­mu­nity in craft­ing tools that make bet­ter cof­fee or tea. The P5 Glass ESPRO Press deliv­ers a prod­uct that is long over­due in the mar­ket with fea­tures that are never before been seen in a sin­gle glass French Press,” says Bruce Constantine, President of ESPRO.

The P5 Glass ESPRO® Press pro­vides grit-free, sludge-free French Press or pour-over style cof­fee and is per­fect for brew­ing loose-leaf tea. It fea­tures 40% thicker glass, an insu­lated lid and a patent-pending safety lock that pre­vents the glass carafe from slip­ping out of the exte­rior stain­less steel cage but can still be eas­ily removed from clean­ing. The P5 also includes a pack of 25 paper fil­ters as a third fil­tra­tion option of pour over qual­ity cof­fee. Regardless of which of the three brew meth­ods used, the P5 Glass ESPRO® Press stays hot longer and auto­mat­i­cally stops extrac­tion in the ves­sel upon plung­ing so the last cup tastes just as good as the first.

The Glass ESPRO Press comes in two mod­els – the metal & glass P5 and the plas­tic & glass P3 (start­ing at USD $40). Both prod­ucts will be fea­tured at the ESPRO Booth #3746 at the International Home+ Housewares Show in Chicago, March 5 to 8, 2016.

About ESPRO®
ESPRO® exists to bring the best cup of cof­fee and tea to every table. In 2002 Bruce Constantine and Chris McLean met for cof­fee, and sketched their first prod­uct con­cept on the back of a nap­kin –a cal­i­brated tam­per to make more con­sis­tent espresso. By April 2004, ESPRO® had emerged. The first years were char­ac­ter­ized by a string of prod­ucts aimed at improv­ing the con­sis­tency of espresso and milk foam. In 2012, ESPRO® intro­duced the ground­break­ing ESPRO® Press, the first grit-free French Press cof­fee and tea maker. It has gar­nered global acco­lades.

Today ESPRO® is the epi­cen­ter of a grass­roots move­ment that is shak­ing and reshap­ing the cof­fee and tea equip­ment indus­try and re-defining the way we per­ceive the per­fect cup. With its range of inno­v­a­tive prod­ucts designed to achieve con­sis­tently great results, ESPRO® is des­tined to carve an impor­tant niche among cof­fee and tea afi­ciona­dos.
