Classic French Press Coffee Maker

This French press features a protective black plastic shell that surrounds the heat resistant glass carafe, reducing breakage risk from accidental bumps or drops. The cage design provides impact protection while keeping the glass visible for monitoring brew progress. A fine mesh stainless steel filter with rubber seal traps coffee grounds and sediment while allowing natural oils through for full flavored coffee. The press mechanism operates smoothly with a comfortable grip handle, and the spout design enables controlled pouring. This 150ml capacity makes approximately one large cup or two small servings, perfect for personal coffee brewing or steeping loose leaf tea. Key Features Protective Plastic Cage Design: Durable black PP plastic frame surrounds glass carafe to absorb impacts and prevent breakage from countertop bumps, drops, or dishwasher contact. Fine Mesh Stainless Steel Filter: Multi layer mesh screen with rubber ring seal effectively traps fine coffee particles and sediment while allowing coffee oils to pass for rich, full bodied flavor. Heat Resistant Borosilicate Glass: Carafe withstands temperature range from cold water to boiling without cracking, safe for hot water directly from kettle at 90-92°C. Ergonomic Handle Design: Contoured plastic handle stays cool during brewing and provides secure grip when pouring hot coffee. Precise Pouring Spout: Angled spout with controlled flow rate reduces drips and splashing when filling cups. Complete Disassembly: Filter assembly, plunger rod, lid, and glass carafe separate entirely for thorough cleaning and maintenance.

The recommended ratio is 1:16 to 1:18, meaning 1 gram of coffee for every 16 to 18ml of water. For the 150ml capacity, use approximately 9-10 grams of coffee. Heat water to 90-92°C (just below boiling), pour over grounds in the carafe, stir once to ensure all grounds are saturated, then let steep for 3-4 minutes. After steeping, press the plunger down slowly and steadily in one continuous motion, taking about 15-20 seconds to reach the bottom. Pressing too quickly can agitate grounds and create bitterness or allow sediment through the filter. Pour all coffee immediately after pressing to prevent over extraction. The protective plastic frame allows safe handling even when glass is hot, but always use caution with hot liquids. Clean thoroughly after each use by disassembling all parts and rinsing grounds completely, as coffee oils left behind turn rancid and affect future brews.
