Glass French Press with Stainless Steel Mesh Filter for Coffee and Tea

A clear glass French press with a stainless steel lid and a fine mesh filter, for a pot of coffee in the morning, loose leaf tea in the afternoon, or warm milk frothed for a latte. The glass runs all the way round, so you watch the brew darken and press it when it looks right rather than when a timer says so.

No pods. No paper filters. No machine taking up the counter. Grounds in, hot water in, about four minutes, then press.

The point of glass is that you can see what you are making

A press works the same way in any material, so the difference is what you get to watch while it does. Pour the water over the grounds and a dark crust rises to the top of the glass while the color deepens underneath it. After about four minutes you push the plunger down slowly, and the grounds go with it to the bottom.

The filter is a round stainless steel mesh with a coiled spring around its rim, so it runs down against the inside of the glass and leaves the grounds packed underneath it. What sits above is clear coffee, ready to pour straight from the spout into a waiting mug. And when someone asks for a second cup, one look at the glass tells you whether there is enough left in the pot.

Coffee, loose tea or milk foam from the same jug

Loose leaf tea is where a glass press quietly earns its place. Green tea, black tea or a spoon of dried flowers open up in the water where you can see them. When the color is right you press, and the leaves stay under the filter instead of drifting into the cup.

For a latte at home, pour in warm milk and pump the plunger up and down until the milk thickens into foam. Same jug you made the coffee in, rinsed in between, with nothing to plug in and nothing extra to find room for in the cupboard.

It comes apart for a proper rinse

The plunger lifts straight out of the glass, and the filter comes apart, so the grounds caught in the mesh rinse away under the tap instead of drying into it. The carafe is heat-resistant borosilicate glass and the lid and filter are stainless steel, which is all there is to look after.

It comes in two sizes of the same design. The Small stands 6.2 inches tall and the Large 7.4 inches, both with the same steel lid, spring-edged filter and black base. Either one gives you coffee or tea made exactly how you like it, in a jug you can see straight through.
