Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the La Cafetière Zero is straightforward. Ensure the silicone base is securely fitted to the bottom of the glass beaker before use to provide stability and protection. The unit is compatible with standard ground coffee, though a coarser grind is recommended to prevent the mesh filter from becoming blocked.
To maintain the longevity of your French press:
- Cleaning: After brewing, remove the plunger and rinse the mesh thoroughly to remove leftover grounds. The beaker and silicone base can be placed in the dishwasher for a deep clean.
- Hand Washing: If hand washing, use a non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the glass surface.
- Storage: Store the unit on a flat, stable surface away from the edge of countertops to prevent accidental knocks that could crack the borosilicate glass.
