Know before you buy
Thanks to its vacuum-insulated, double-walled stainless steel construction, this press maintains a temperature of 162°F (72°C) for up to two hours.
Yes. It features a specialized half-blocked filter plate paired with a Grit Block Disk, which effectively traps fine grounds and prevents them from passing into your finished brew.
No, the 18/8 stainless steel is non-reactive and does not impart any metallic taste to your coffee. Additionally, the Taste-Shield Plunger is designed to stop the brewing process once pushed down, preventing over-extraction and a bitter, chalky flavor.
Cleaning is straightforward because the components are designed to be disassembled. The wide opening of the carafe also makes it easy to reach inside for a thorough hand wash.
While designed primarily for coffee, the vacuum-insulated stainless steel body is excellent for steeping loose-leaf tea. Just be mindful that the filter is optimized for coffee grounds, so very fine tea leaves may require an additional strainer.
The press features a twist-on lid that locks securely into place. This design provides a stable seal, ensuring safe and controlled pouring without the risk of the lid slipping off.
