Bialetti 8 Cups – 1 Lts Prezioza Original French Press

A cylindrical pot with a plunger and built-in filter screen that presses hot water through ground coffee: that’s the simple beauty of the French press, method of choice for many the world over, creating an earthy, rich taste in the cup. The secret is all in the grind: choose medium, with uniformity and consistency throughout. Very coarse grinds may clog the filter, while very fine grinds will pass through the filter, muddying the results.

• Place the pot on a dry, flat surface. Hold the handle firmly, then pull out the plunger
• Add a heaping tablespoon (7-8 grams) of coffee to the pot per 200 ml (6.7 oz) of water
• Pour hot wate, not quite boiling, into the pot, and gently stir
• Carefully reinsert the plunger into the pot, stopping just above the water and ground coffee (do not plunge yet), and let stand for 3-4 minutes
• Press down slowly, exerting steady pressure until coffee grounds are full
• After each use, wash the pot with water and mild detergent, and dry thoroughly
