FAQs
How many cups does the 1-litre capacity provide?

Can I use boiling water?
It is recommended to wait about 30 seconds after your kettle boils before pouring to reach the ideal brewing temperature of 92-96°C.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
Yes, the handle is designed to stay cool to the touch while the beaker holds hot coffee.
Can I replace the glass beaker if it breaks?
Please check with the manufacturer for replacement parts, though the unit is designed to be durable with proper care.
Is this cafetière suitable for loose leaf tea?
Yes, it can be used for tea, provided you follow the same infusion and filtration process as coffee.
Troubleshooting
Plunger is difficult to push down
Your coffee grind might be too fine. Use a coarser grind to ensure easier filtration.
Coffee contains too much sediment
Ensure the plunger is fully assembled and not bent. Avoid pressing the plunger down too quickly, which can force particles through the mesh.
Silicone base is loose
Ensure the base is pushed firmly onto the glass beaker until it snaps into place.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the La Cafetière Zero is straightforward. Ensure the silicone base is securely fitted to the bottom of the glass beaker before use to provide stability and protection. The unit is compatible with standard ground coffee, though a coarser grind is recommended to prevent the mesh filter from becoming blocked.
To maintain the longevity of your French press:
- Cleaning: After brewing, remove the plunger and rinse the mesh thoroughly to remove leftover grounds. The beaker and silicone base can be placed in the dishwasher for a deep clean.
- Hand Washing: If hand washing, use a non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the glass surface.
- Storage: Store the unit on a flat, stable surface away from the edge of countertops to prevent accidental knocks that could crack the borosilicate glass.
