Le Creuset Stoneware Cafetière French Press with Stainless Steel Plunger, 1 Litre, Serves 3-4 Cups, Volcanic, 91028200090000

Product Information

From the ultra-stylish to the ultra-functional now, as we look at this solid cafetière from Heemburg – a tiny two-person company from Luxembourg that was only formed in 2018.

However, if you find cleaning that filter a bit of a fiddly chore, then the One Brew definitely does have one up on the french press as it’s very easy to clean. As the name suggests, you can only make one cup at a time, but if this isn’t an issue, you’ll be pleased with its neat, minimalist design. Compact and lightweight, you can take this coffee maker on your travels. If you are not happy with it, then Gator offers a 100% total satisfaction policy, so you can return or replace your item. A cafetière usually comes with two major components, a cylindrical container and a filter inside it. There is a plunger at the top, push it down, and the filter will push down the coffee grounds, leaving you with a rich and ground-free coffee that can be poured easily. There are plastic options if you are prone to breaking your kitchen accessories, and there are steel ones that keep the coffee hotter for longer. There are stone based ones for style and glass ones if you want to see the filter and plunger in action. We judged how convenient each cafetiere was on each of these factors and penalised them if they poured messily or took a lot of effort to press. Coffee grounds filtrationAre you looking for a simple and elegant way to make your coffee? Then you should take a look at the best cafetières in the UK, listed here for your perusal. A cafetière is also called a French press or coffee press and is much easier to operate and use than a coffee machine! All you need to do is simply spoon in your grounded coffee, pour in boiled water, and place the lid on the top. You then use the plunger to take the coffee grounds to the bottom after a few minutes – and that’s about it! The cafetiere is an "immersive" method of brewing coffee, in which the coffee grounds (the solute) are fully immersed in water (the solvent), housed in one big thermal insulator (the cafetiere) and then separated (with a plunge filter). It looks fabulous. Almost combining the look of a cafetière with that of a teapot – a lovely smooth, bulbous look, with a beautiful stainless steel finish. This is different to almost any other cafetière that I have seen and has a really stylish look to it.

The cafetiere is one of the simplest and easiest ways for an entry-level coffee fan like myself to brew at home. Plus, it's sustainable. A cafetiere doesn’t require any paper filters or capsules, so you can never run out. (If that sounds like just your cup of joe, see the bottom of this article for Wallace's expert guide to brewing the perfect cafetiere coffee.) I have perhaps been a little harsh when I described this as ultra-functional because that implies that there has been no thought into the aesthetics at all, and that isn’t true. It is actually a very stylish looking cafetière – very sleek and minimalist but stylish nevertheless.

Take the plunge and make a better cup of coffee with these stylish and convenient cafetières

This double-walled Cafetière and lid can help to keep the coffee warmer for a longer time. The outer walls, including the handle, remain cool to the touch as well. This makes the handling a lot easier and safer. Overall, the Café Ole Stainless Steel Cafetière is a great piece of coffee making art. First, it is well insulated with the double design for the cafetière wall. It will keep your coffee warm for up to an hour, which is a believable time length. Second, it has three layers of filtration! This will make sure that your coffee is smooth and grain-free. Third, it has a safety feature to protect you. The twistable lid ensures that the coffee cannot pour out unless the arrow is pointing to the spout. If you prefer your coffee to be milder, let it brew for less time, and if you like your coffee stronger and more bitter you can leave it for longer. Inside you’ll find stainless steel materials for the filter as well as the pump. The interior is frosted to help the insulation of the double walls. This means that your coffee can be kept warm for up to two hours! As a very young child, pressing the plunger down was always my reward if I had behaved myself during the course of a meal (we only got the cafetière out on the most special of occasions). This was probably my first real experience of coffee, and the theatre and methodology involved have stayed with me all this time. I love a French press and today we are going to be exploring the best cafetières available – I had some fun when testing these believe me.

What’s more, the design is simply elegant! The Secura Cafetiere will surely complement any kitchen. It even has multiple colour and pattern choices. What more could you ask for? Four minutes is the generally accepted amount of time people let their cafetieres brew for before pressing, and is how long we left each cafetiere to brew for in our tests. We used a thermometer to record the temperature of each cafetiere for one hour to find out which ones cooled down the fastest. Ease of cleaning We are interested to hear which cafetière you think is the best! Let us know. We hope our selection here has inspired you to opt for the cafetière instead of the coffee machine. Additional Resources By using a cafetière, you can get the most out of your coffee beans, which you can ground up beforehand. You must only put pre-ground coffee in your cafetière, but experience the magic of a more splendid taste by using a cafetière. The design allows the ground coffee particles to release more flavour. Our Editor’s RecommendationThe focus of this design, though, is clearly on functionality. First of all, it is double-lined stainless steel, so that it will keep your coffee hot ‘for hours’, and the outside never gets hot, so it is always safe to handle. As a cafetière at the lower end of the budget, this does the job. It is only small, so best to be used for small households or maybe as a travel option, but if that is what you are after, this is perfect. There is never such thing as too much coffee. You can make the best coffee right in your own kitchen with a cafetière. Rather than going to the coffee shop and totting up your bill, coffee makers offer a cheaper and tastier alternative.

The large 1000ml size means that you can make not just one delicious cup of coffee, but eight! This will serve you well during your coffee drinking endeavours. Add boiling water to your favourite coffee grounds and get a rich and smooth brew every time. Overall, the Cafe du Chateau is a great borosilicate glass cafetière, with a steel frame available at a reasonable price. Filter screens with small amounts of granules and sediment earned higher filtration scores than those that let more through. Heat retention Barista & Co go a step further, promising replacement parts that are available if you should break anything – this is a great thing to publicise to try to combat the throwaway culture that seems to have taken hold in society.We didn’t know there was a company named Coffee Gator before this, and we were delightfully surprised! Thankfully, now we know there are gators that make great coffee. The Coffee Gator Cafetière is a neat, simple, and easy to use cafetière that is vacuum insulated. We also like how Coffee Gator is a generous company and gave us a cute yet stylish coffee bean container in the box. Cafetieres are much less clunky than coffee machines and take up a significantly smaller place in your kitchen or dining room. Coffee shouldn’t be a hassle, and cafetières make the process so much easier and enjoyable! Here we are at the end of this article, and we must have the final say on the best cafetière. Our editor’s choice must be the Secura Cafetiere French Press coffee maker. It has all the best features that you could be looking for! For the uninitiated: sometimes known as a French press, a cafetière consists of a heatproof vessel into which you add your coffee. Then you add your hot (not quite boiling) water and leave to brew for a few minutes. Then, the most satisfying part – you gently press the plunger down, thus separating the perfectly brewed coffee from the grounds which are left at the bottom. Your material choice can affect the longevity of the cafetière. You should look out for if the cafetière is rust-proof, heat-resistant, and durable. Dishwasher safe
