FAQs
What is the capacity of the cafetière?
The Pisa cafetière has a capacity of 1 liter, which is equivalent to 8 standard cups (based on a 125 ml cup size).
Does the milk frother come with batteries?
No, the milk frother is battery-operated and requires 2 x AAA batteries, which are not included with the set.
How do I clean the glass mugs?
The mugs should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure the borosilicate glass is handled with care.
Can I put the cafetière in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is recommended for the cafetière to maintain the quality of the stainless steel and the plunger mechanism. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What kind of coffee grounds should I use with the cafetière?
It is best to use coarse coffee grounds for the cafetière. Fine grounds can pass through the mesh filter, resulting in sediment in your coffee.
What is the material of the mugs?
The mugs are made of high-quality borosilicate glass housed within a copper-effect stainless steel holder.
How long does the coffee stay hot in the cafetière?
The stainless steel construction helps retain heat, but for optimal temperature, it's best to serve the coffee shortly after brewing.
Troubleshooting
Cafetière produces cloudy coffee or grounds in the cup.
Ensure you are using coarse coffee grounds. Check that the mesh filter is clean and properly seated. Do not press the plunger down too quickly.
Milk frother not working.
Check that the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Ensure the whisk attachment is securely in place.
Milk is not frothing well.
Ensure you are using cold or slightly warm milk, not hot. Some types of milk froth better than others (e.g., whole milk vs. skimmed).
Coffee tastes weak.
Use more coffee grounds, a finer grind (if suitable for your cafetière), or steep for a longer duration (up to 5 minutes).
Copper effect finish is tarnishing.
Gently polish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For persistent issues, consult specific metal polishing guides for copper-effect finishes.
