Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The cafetière is ready for use upon arrival. Ensure all parts are present and clean before first use.
Compatibility: This cafetière is designed for brewing coffee using the French press method. It is not compatible with stovetops or any direct heat source.
Care:
- Pre-heating: For best results, pre-heat the cafetière with hot water before adding coffee grounds.
- Brewing: Add coarse coffee grounds and hot water (just off the boil). Stir gently and allow to steep for 4 minutes.
- Pressing: Slowly and steadily press the plunger down.
- Cleaning: Handwash immediately after each use with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the granite effect finish. Disassemble the plunger and filter components for thorough cleaning. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Storage: Store in a dry place.
