Know before you buy
No, the Marimekko Oiva French Press is recommended for hand washing only. The delicate ceramic finish and wooden knob detail are best preserved by washing them gently by hand.
This French press has a capacity of approximately 31.67 ounces, which yields about six standard cups of coffee. It is well-suited for serving multiple people or enjoying several refills.
Yes, the integrated metal filter is designed to provide a clean, flavorful brew. For the best results, we recommend using a coarse grind to ensure the filter performs optimally.
The wooden knob serves as a functional handle for the plunger, allowing you to press down comfortably. It also adds a tactile, natural contrast to the vibrant ceramic glaze.
Ceramic is excellent at retaining heat, which helps keep your coffee at a consistent temperature while it steeps. However, it does not have the same thermal insulation as a double-walled vacuum-sealed carafe.
