Know before you buy
While the L'Objet Ionic French Press is crafted from high-quality porcelain, it should be handled with the same care as fine dinnerware. It is durable for daily use, but avoid thermal shock by not exposing it to extreme temperature changes.
To preserve the gold detailing, we recommend hand washing the porcelain body with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the metallic finish.
Yes, the porcelain body provides excellent heat retention compared to glass carafes. It will keep your coffee hot for a longer period, allowing you to enjoy your brew at a steady temperature.
While the porcelain carafe requires hand washing, the stainless steel plunger assembly can typically be disassembled and cleaned in the dishwasher. We recommend hand washing the carafe separately to protect the gold accents and the integrity of the porcelain.
Absolutely. The French press mechanism works perfectly for steeping loose-leaf tea. The fine mesh filter effectively separates the leaves from the water, providing a clean and flavorful cup.
