FAQs
What is the capacity of this cafetière?
The Café Olé BFD cafetière has a capacity of 700ml, which is approximately 6 standard cups.
Is this cafetière dishwasher safe?
No, this cafetière is not dishwasher safe. It should be handwashed with warm, soapy water.
What material is the cafetière made from?
It is constructed from premium 18/10 stainless steel.
How does the double-wall construction work?
The double-wall construction creates an insulating air gap between the inner and outer walls of the carafe, significantly reducing heat loss and keeping your beverage hotter for longer.
Will the handle get hot?
The metal handle features a hollow design to prevent heat transmission, keeping it cool to the touch while serving.
Can I use this for tea as well as coffee?
Yes, this cafetière is suitable for brewing both ground coffee and loose-leaf tea.
What are the dimensions of the cafetière?
The dimensions are approximately H:18 x W:17 x D:9 cm (please note: product data also lists 15.5 x 12 x 20cm, verify preferred dimensions).
Troubleshooting
Coffee grounds passing through the filter
Ensure the coffee is ground coarsely. Fine grinds can pass through the mesh filter. Check that the plunger and filter assembly are properly secured.
Beverage not staying hot
Confirm the lid is properly sealed after pressing the plunger. Ensure the double-wall construction is not compromised. Pre-warm the carafe with hot water before brewing.
Handle feels warm
While designed to be cool-touch, extreme external temperatures or prolonged immersion in hot water may cause some heat transfer. Ensure only the carafe is exposed to hot liquid, not the handle itself.
Difficult to press the plunger
This can indicate the coffee grind is too fine, or too much coffee has been used, creating resistance. Try a coarser grind or slightly less coffee. Ensure the filter is clean and free of blockages.
