FAQs
Is the TIMEMORE French Press dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the borosilicate glass and maintain the integrity of the filter mesh.
Can I use this to brew tea?
Yes, the high-density mesh is perfectly suited for steeping loose-leaf tea, providing a clean infusion.
What is the best grind size to use?
A coarse to medium-coarse grind is ideal for optimal extraction and ease of plunging.
Does the glass crack with boiling water?
The borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, but it is best practice to avoid extreme thermal shock by not exposing the glass to ice-cold temperatures immediately after brewing.
How do I remove the filter for cleaning?
Simply unscrew the nut at the base of the plunger rod to separate the filter plates and the mesh screen.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pushing the plunger down
The grind size might be too fine, creating excessive resistance. Use a coarser grind specifically for French press brewing.
Sediment leaking into the final cup
Ensure the filter assembly is screwed tightly onto the plunger rod and check that the silicone gasket is seated evenly against the glass walls.
Stiff plunger movement
Disassemble the filter and wash the mesh thoroughly to remove dried coffee oils that may be causing friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your TIMEMORE French Press, always pre-warm the borosilicate glass carafe with hot water before brewing to prevent thermal shock. When cleaning, disassemble the filter assembly by unscrewing the central rod; this allows you to thoroughly rinse the mesh and silicone seals to prevent oil buildup. While the stainless steel and silicone components are generally robust, it is recommended to hand wash the glass carafe with a soft sponge to avoid scratches. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the structural integrity of the glass or dull the finish of the metal.
