FAQs
Can this be used for tea?
Yes, it is excellent for steeping loose-leaf tea, just use the same plunger method to stop extraction.
Is the glass carafe dishwasher safe?
While the glass is durable, hand washing is recommended to prolong the lifespan of the material and prevent accidental impact damage.
What grind of coffee should I use?
A coarse grind is recommended for French press brewing to prevent silt and ensure a smooth press.
How do I avoid breaking the glass?
Avoid placing the carafe on cold stone or metal surfaces directly after use and handle with care around the sink.
Does it keep coffee hot for a long time?
Glass does not have insulating properties like double-walled vacuum flasks, so it is best to serve the coffee shortly after brewing.
Are the parts replaceable?
The stainless steel filter assembly is modular and can be disassembled for deep cleaning or replacement if needed.
Troubleshooting
Coffee tastes bitter or over-extracted
Decrease the steeping time or use a slightly coarser grind setting for the beans.
Plunger feels difficult to press down
Check if the coffee grind is too fine; switch to a coarser grind to allow easier fluid movement.
Sediment in the cup
Ensure the filter disc is properly tightened and aligned; avoid pressing the plunger too aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure all parts are clean. The filter assembly should be screwed together tightly to prevent grounds from bypassing the mesh. When using, always place the cafetiere on a flat, heat-resistant surface. To clean, carefully unscrew the plunger base after the glass has cooled, wash each component with warm soapy water, and allow to air dry. Avoid using metal scrubbers or abrasive sponges on the glass, as these can create microscopic scratches that may lead to breakage over time.
