FAQs
What is the capacity of this cafetiere?
This is the 8-cup model, designed to brew approximately 8 standard coffee cups.
How do I clean the stainless steel filter?
After each use, carefully remove the filter assembly and rinse it under warm water. You can use a soft brush to gently dislodge any coffee grounds. Allow it to air dry completely.
Can I use this cafetiere on a stovetop?
No, this cafetiere is not designed for stovetop use. It should only be used with hot water that has been heated separately.
What type of coffee grind should I use?
For optimal performance and to prevent grounds from passing through the filter, it is recommended to use a coarse coffee grind.
Is the glass beaker heat resistant?
The glass beaker is designed to hold hot liquids, but it is important to handle it with care and avoid sudden temperature changes or impacts.
How often should I replace the stainless steel filter?
With proper care and cleaning, the stainless steel filter is durable and should last for a long time. Inspect it periodically for any signs of wear or damage.
Does this cafetiere come in other colours?
Yes, the Café Olé Ciao Cafetiere is available in red, green, black, and white.
Troubleshooting
Coffee is weak or watery
Ensure you are using the correct grind size (coarse) and that the coffee-to-water ratio is appropriate. Allow the coffee to steep for the full 4 minutes.
Coffee grounds in the cup
Check that the stainless steel filter is properly seated and that the mesh is intact. Use a coarser grind size for future brews.
Plunger is difficult to press
Verify that you are using a coarse coffee grind. If grounds are too fine, they can clog the filter and make pressing difficult. Ensure the plunger is straight.
Glass beaker is chipped or cracked
Discontinue use immediately to prevent injury. Contact customer support for replacement options.
