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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo pods. No paper filters. No machine taking up the counter. Grounds in, hot water in, about four minutes, then press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe point of glass is that you can see what you are making\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoffee, loose tea or milk foam from the same jug\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt comes apart for a proper rinse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eType: Glass French press, a manual plunger coffee and tea maker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarafe: Heat-resistant borosilicate glass, with a pour spout and a clear handle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLid: Stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter: Stainless steel mesh with a coiled spring rim, lifts out with the plunger and comes apart for cleaning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase: Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall height: 6.2 in (15.8 cm), knob to base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge height: 7.4 in (18.8 cm), knob to base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation: Manual, no power needed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrew time: About 4 minutes for coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse: Ground coffee, loose leaf or flower tea, milk foam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWash it by hand.
