Francois et Mimi 50oz Glass French Press

I received the Francois et Mimi 50oz Glass French Press through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• 50 oz
• Chrome finish
• Micro-mesh filter
• Dishwasher safe
• Works with ground coffee or tea leaves

When I received the product, I was surprised and a little concerned with how little there was for packaging. The amazon box fit tightly to the French Coffee Press box. Inside that box was a thin layer of bubble wrap. I'm very surprised that the glass on the coffee press didn't break. 

The coffee press worked nicely.

To use, the lid, pump, and mesh needs to come out. They come out together in one motion. The coffee grounds or tea leaves goes into French Coffee Press. Heat up water to a boil. Pour the water onto the grounds or tea leaves and leave sit for five minutes. You may put the lid, filter, and pump back onto the coffee press, but do not pump it yet. After five minutes are up, pump several times. Then it's good to drink.

Directions can also be found on the outside of the French Coffee Press box.

The micro-mesh filter helps keep the coffee grounds or tea leaves out of your cup when you pour it. It worked very well to keep them out the times I've used it.

The coffee press is easy to clean with how it comes apart. It can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand.

Bellemain Madeleine Pan

Bellemain 12-Cup Nonstick Madeleine Pan

I recently received the Bellemain Madeleine Pan from a promotion through Tomoson. 

I had never made french butter cakes before, but I have heard they’re really good. I was excited to try to make them using the Bellemain pan. 

When I first tried making these cakes, I got a reciepe off the internet. I ended up making the cakes too done, but not quite burning them. The next few times I’ve tried making these cakes using this pan, they turned out very well.

The cakes the Madeleine pan makes are small and a perfect serving size cakes. They’re very moist and soft. They’re also shaped like a seashell. 

The pan is very durable. My nephew was pretty rough on the pan one of the days we were making the cakes, and the pan didn’t dent or get a scratch. 

Bellemain wasn’t joking when they said this pan was nonstick. Once the cakes cool, it’s so easy just to slide them out of the pan. You don’t even need to use any utensils to get them out. It’s perfect. Plus, there’s no grease required. 

Even with the design of the pan, it’s extremely easy to clean. The spaces between the patterns are large enough it’s easy to use a brush or towel to get the pan clean. Not to mention, the cakes don’t get that messy to begin with. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
