FAQs
Can this be used for loose-leaf tea?
Yes, the fine-mesh filter is highly effective at steeping loose-leaf tea, allowing leaves to expand while keeping them out of your cup.
Is the stainless steel frame rust-resistant?
Yes, it is designed with high-quality stainless steel to resist rust and corrosion during normal kitchen use.
Are replacement beakers available if the glass breaks?
While the unit is robust, should the glass beaker break, it is recommended to search for the specific model replacement or contact support for compatible parts.
How many cups does '8-cup' actually mean?
In cafetière sizing, '8 cups' refers to small European-sized cups (roughly 125ml each), totaling approximately 1 litre of liquid.
Can I put the stainless steel frame in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand-wash the frame to preserve the finish, though the glass jug itself is dishwasher safe.
Troubleshooting
Coffee grounds appearing in the final cup
Ensure the filter assembly is tightly screwed together and consider using a coarser coffee grind.
Plunger feels difficult to press down
Do not force the plunger; lift it slightly and then press down again. If the grind is too fine, it can create excessive resistance.
Glass jug is hard to remove from the frame
Ensure the device is completely cool, then gently push the glass from the bottom up to slide it out of the steel housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Pisa cafetière is straightforward: ensure the mesh filter is securely tightened to the plunger assembly before your first use. For maintenance, the glass jug can be removed from the stainless steel frame for deep cleaning and is dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing the stainless steel frame with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to maintain the grey finish. Always check the glass for any small chips or cracks before adding boiling water to ensure safety. When the included filter eventually wears down, simply unscrew the base of the plunger to replace it with the spare filter provided in the box.
