FAQs
What is the capacity of this cafetiere?
The La Cafetiere Pisa 8 Cup Cafetiere has a 1-liter capacity, which typically brews about 8 standard cups of coffee.
What type of coffee grind should I use?
For best results with a French press, a coarse grind is recommended. This prevents grounds from passing through the filter and ensures optimal extraction.
How do I clean the cafetiere?
Hand wash all components with warm, soapy water. Use the included e-cloth for drying and polishing. Ensure all parts are dry before storing.
Is the glass beaker heat-resistant?
Yes, the beaker is made of thermal shock and heat-resistant borosilicate glass.
Can I put the cafetiere in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand wash the cafetiere to preserve the finish and integrity of the components. The glass and stainless steel may be dishwasher safe, but manual cleaning is preferred for longevity.
What does '8 Cup Capacity' mean in practical terms?
The '8 Cup' designation refers to standard coffee cup sizes, which are typically around 4-5 oz. The 1L volume can yield approximately this many servings.
Does it come assembled?
The cafetiere typically comes with the plunger assembly separated from the glass beaker for safe shipping. Simply place the plunger unit on top after adding coffee and water.
Troubleshooting
Coffee is weak or watery.
Ensure you are using a coarse coffee grind. Use more coffee grounds or allow the coffee to steep for a longer period (e.g., 5 minutes).
Sediment in coffee cup.
This is often due to a coffee grind that is too fine. Try using a coarser grind. Ensure the plunger filter is properly assembled and clean.
Plunger is difficult to press.
Check for obstructions in the beaker or around the plunger. Ensure the coffee grind is not too fine, as this can clog the filter. If the issue persists, disassemble and clean the plunger mechanism.
Glass beaker arrived damaged or cracked.
Please contact customer support for a replacement. Avoid using the product if the glass is compromised.
