Can I put the glass carafe in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand wash all parts of the cafetiere, including the glass carafe, to maintain its quality and longevity.

Troubleshooting
Coffee grounds in the brewed coffee
Ensure you are using coarse coffee grounds. Check that the filter mesh is properly seated and not damaged. Press the plunger down slowly and steadily.
Plunger is difficult to push down
The coffee grounds may be too fine, or there might be a blockage. Ensure you are using the correct grind size. Remove the plunger, rinse, and try again. Do not force the plunger.
Coffee tastes weak
Increase the amount of coffee grounds used, or allow the coffee to steep for a slightly longer period (e.g., 4.5 minutes). Ensure the water temperature is adequate.
Glass carafe is chipped or cracked
Discontinue use immediately for safety. Contact the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement part. Do not attempt to use a damaged carafe.
