Cafe Ole Classic Cafetiere – Chrome – 6 cup

Description

A cafetiere (or French Press) works by making brewing coarsely-ground fresh coffee in hot water. The styles and colours available are never-ending, but this cafetiere by Cafe Ole is a classic.

It features a stainless steel, 750ml pot which allows you to easily brew fresh coffee for you and your family or friends. The chrome pot makes it a fantastic centre-piece for coffee time and makes sure that your fresh coffee stays hot for longer.

Method:

1. Heat water using regular kettle
2. Ensure that your coffee is ground coarsely. If you use finer coffee, that’s fine too but the extraction power from using a cafetiere suits the coarser ground.
3. Put 20g of freshly ground coffee into the pot for each person.
4. Pour hot water on to the grounds. Try to leave the boiled kettle for 30 seconds so the water is slightly less than 100 degrees. This avoids burning your coffee.
5. Place the lid and plunger on the press.
6. Leave for approximately 3-4 minutes to allow adequate brewing time.
7. Place the plunger apparatus on top of the press (but don’t plunge yet)
8. Press the plunger down carefully. The plunger can slip or allow grounds to escape the filter if plunged too fast.
9. Enjoy your fresh coffee!
