FAQs
How do I ensure my coffee stays hot?
The double-walled construction is designed for heat retention. Preheating the cafetière with hot water before brewing also helps maintain temperature.
What type of coffee grind should I use?
A coarse grind is recommended for cafetières. This prevents fine coffee particles from passing through the filter and into your cup, ensuring a cleaner brew.
Can I put this cafetière on a stovetop?
No, this cafetière is not designed for stovetop use. It is intended for brewing coffee with pre-heated water.
How many cups does the 1L capacity yield?
The 1L capacity typically yields around 8 standard 4-ounce cups of coffee.
How often should I clean the filter assembly?
It is best to disassemble and clean the plunger and filter assembly after each use to ensure optimal performance and prevent coffee oil buildup.
Is the stainless steel interior easy to clean?
Yes, the stainless steel interior is generally easy to clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Coffee is weak or flavourless
Ensure you are using the correct ratio of coffee to water and that the coffee is steeped for the full 4 minutes. Check that the coffee grounds are coarse enough; too fine a grind can lead to under-extraction.
Plunger is difficult to press
Confirm that you are using coarse coffee grounds. Finer grounds can clog the filter. Ensure the filter assembly is clean and free of any obstructions. Press the plunger slowly and steadily.
Coffee grounds in the cup
This typically occurs when using coffee that is ground too finely. Switch to a coarser grind. Ensure the plunger filter is seated correctly and seals properly.
Exterior of cafetière is scratched
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Minor scratches may be unavoidable with regular use but do not affect performance.
