Café Olé 8-Cup French Press Cafetière

Perfectly sized to fill eight demitasse espresso cups for dinner party guests – or a few breakfast mugs – this Café Olé 8-Cup Cafetière is beautifully made from clear glass with sleek chrome accents that look gorgeous no matter where you serve your coffee.

Heat-resistant borosilicate glass

Specially made to withstand high temperatures, the clear borosilicate glass jug is tough enough to handle boiling water straight from the kettle, so making coffee is no problem at all. The clear glass jug sits snugly in a chromed steel ‘cage’ that’s designed in one piece to act as an integral trivet, holding the hot coffee jug off your tabletop to avoid scorching the surface.

Stainless steel filter mesh

The perforated plunger under the chromed lid is finished with a fine stainless steel mesh to ensure that once your coffee has brewed, you can depress the plunger and stop your coffee grounds getting into the cup by accident.

Heat-resistant handles

Soft-touch plastic handles are comfortable to use and will never be too hot to handle.

Easy to clean

Strongly made, the jug and its filter can be popped into the dishwasher once you’ve disposed of the coffee grounds.

How to make coffee in a cafetière

Whether you know this style of coffee jug as a French press or a cafetière, the method for making delicious coffee is the same… pre-warming the jug (like a teapot) isn’t essential, but can help your brew stay warm for longer.

• Add ground coffee to taste – follow the directions on your coffee pack for quantity per cup if in doubt.
• Fill to the metal band with freshly boiled water and replace the lid with the stainless steel filter pulled up close to the lid.
• After 3-5 minutes of steeping time, press the plunger down slowly to trap the grounds at the bottom of the jug before pouring your coffee.
