TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026
FinalPress, the innovative portable coffee and tea brewer, has been recognized with a Special Mention in TIME's Best Inventions of 2026, marking a significant milestone in the company's journey from a Kickstarter project to a product enjoyed by thousands of customers worldwide.
From Kickstarter to Worldwide Recognition
FinalPress began as a Kickstarter project with a simple idea: to create the simplest way to brew great coffee or tea anywhere, without plastic parts, disposable paper filters, or mess, using just stainless steel.
The project grew into one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns, supported by over 50k backers who believed in a simpler, more convenient way to enjoy freshly brewed coffee and tea.
Since then, FinalPress has grown into a portable brewing solution enjoyed by thousands of customers worldwide, whether at home, in the office, while traveling, or exploring the outdoors.
Recognition by TIME
FinalPress received a Special Mention in TIME's Best Inventions of 2026, recognizing the product as part of the publication's annual coverage of notable innovations.
Designed for convenience and portability, FinalPress allows users to brew coffee or tea directly in their favorite cup, without disposable paper filters or bulky brewing equipment.
The latest FinalPress V3 features a removable bottom lid for easier cleaning and coffee grounds removal, along with a thicker silicone sleeve and premium packaging that doubles as a carrying case.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
"Seeing our invention recognized by TIME is a milestone we once only dreamed of, and we couldn't have reached it without the incredible support of our customers and community around the world."
FinalPress extends its appreciation to its early Kickstarter backers, customers, and supporters who have helped bring the invention to coffee lovers worldwide.
This is just the beginning.
