Full details
The Bodum Caffettiera is ideal for coffee enthusiasts who prioritize pure, full-bodied flavor and want an eco-friendly brewing method. By utilizing a high-quality stainless steel plunger system instead of disposable filters or pods, it extracts essential oils for a richer cup, though users should be prepared to handle delicate glass and manually clean the unit after each brew.

FAQs
Is the carafe glass fragile?
It is made of high-quality, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, but it is still glass and should be handled with care to avoid impacts.
Can I use this for loose leaf tea?
Yes, the French press is excellent for brewing loose leaf tea using the same immersion method.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes, the entire unit is dishwasher safe, though hand washing the mesh filter is often more effective.
How many cups does it make?
The 1-liter capacity translates to approximately 8 cups, based on standard 125ml European cup sizes.
Does the coffee stay hot for a long time?
As it is a glass carafe, it does not hold heat as long as insulated steel presses; it is recommended to serve immediately after brewing.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pressing the plunger down
Your coffee grind is likely too fine. Use a coarser grind to allow the water to pass through the filter more easily.
Sediment in the cup
Ensure the filter assembly is screwed on tightly and that you are using a coarse, uniform grind of coffee beans.
Coffee tastes weak
Increase the ratio of coffee grounds to water or extend the steeping time slightly beyond four minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Caffettiera is straightforward: simply ensure the stainless steel filter is tightly secured to the plunger rod. No assembly is required out of the box. For care, although the unit is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to occasionally disassemble the plunger components to ensure the fine mesh screen is thoroughly cleared of residual oils. When cleaning, avoid using abrasive sponges that might scratch the glass. Always place the unit on a flat, non-slip surface during the brewing process to ensure stability.
