The French Press is a user-friendly classic that never goes out of style. Simply pour in ground coffee or tea, add hot water, wait a few minutes, press the plunger, and you're done. Since the double filter at the end of the plunger separates most coffee or tea particles from the brew, the brew is clear. The glass container is resistant to high temperatures and is additionally protected by a polypropylene body that is safe for food contact. The glass tank is removable for easier cleaning. The handle does not get hot, allowing you to hold the press with hot contents comfortably. Hario's Cafe Press U is made in Japan to the highest standards, making it a reliable brewer for many years.
