FAQs
What is the capacity of this cafetiere?

What material is the filter made of?
The filter is made of durable stainless steel.
Can I use this cafetiere on a stovetop?
No, this cafetiere is not designed for stovetop use. It is intended for brewing coffee with hot water poured into the carafe.
How do I clean the stainless steel filter?
Disassemble the filter parts and wash them thoroughly with warm, soapy water. You can use a soft brush to gently scrub away any residue. Ensure all parts are dried completely before reassembly.
What are the available colours?

Is the handle heatproof?
Yes, the handle is designed to be cool-touch, allowing for safe handling and pouring.
What type of coffee grind is recommended?
A coarse grind is recommended for French press brewing to prevent grounds from passing through the filter and to ensure optimal extraction.
Troubleshooting
Coffee grounds in the final brew
Ensure you are using coarse-ground coffee. Check that the stainless steel filter is properly seated and intact. Avoid over-plunging.
Plunger is difficult to push down
The coffee grounds may be too fine, or there might be a blockage. Ensure grounds are coarse and the filter is clean. Try lifting the plunger slightly and then gently pushing down again.
Carafe feels unstable
Ensure the cafetiere is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check that the base of the carafe is clean and free from debris.
Handle feels loose
The handle is typically secured during manufacturing. If it feels significantly loose, check for any visible damage or contact customer support.
