Product Information

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. Another thing to consider when buying the best french press is the material. Would you prefer a stainless steel cafetière, or a glass beaker, or a ceramic cafetière? There are lots of options to choose from. You could opt for a mixed design, for example, a glass body with a stainless steel frame. Next up we’re going to take a look at a premium offering from Bodum. These Danish coffee kings are world-renowned for their commitment to hot drinks, with their extensive range of travel mugs and coffee making equipment. Surely their cafetières will be up to scratch? 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.

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.

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

It's important to take apart the press when cleaning, as coffee granules can get wedged between the various parts, but the metal mesh filter screen can have sharp edges. As for how much you use, it will depend on the strength of coffee and the strength you personally like your drink. As a rough guide, use 6g (about three tablespoons) of coffee per 100ml. If you’re a real coffee lover, be prepared to try different coffees, grinds and brew times to work out your favourite blend. This has everything I want though. It stands tall and proud, in one of three colours (steel, copper or brushed gold) and has a dignified elegance to it. It holds itself so well and seems to command respect. You could imagine it placed proudly on a table at a royal banquet at the turn of the last century, but it still wouldn’t look out of place on a modern kitchen counter. It is a stunning cafetière, and for that reason alone, this should be on your shortlist. 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. We complete this list of the best cafetières with this stylish effort from La Cafetière – a brand under the Kitchen Craft umbrella. They have been making coffee-related products since 1967 – focusing on the more traditional methods of making coffee – especially cafetières.

There is something utterly charming about them though. Those few minutes of waiting for your drink to brew are wonderful moments that those of us that still use cafetières can appreciate – even if you can only justify that time at a weekend. 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 Recommendation 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 filtration This french press has three extra filters that brew a perfect cup every time, so there will be no need to rely on a coffee shop when you can make your own coffee. The lid is also easily removable, so you can clean it easily with ease. Since its materials are waterproof and rust-resistant, you can put the Groenenberg french press in the dishwasher or hand wash it if you prefer.

I would wholeheartedly recommend that you consider this one – even if you don’t think you will use it that often. It will look fantastic on your shelf if nothing else! 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! 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.) You can brew and enjoy perfect coffee and tea with the Cafe du Chateau French Press Coffee Maker. This french press is made of heat resistant borosilicate glass and stainless steel, which gives you the best of both words – sturdiness and style! The glass portion allows you to actually see the coffee being made as well.

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). This is priced right in the middle of the range on our list today. It looks great, makes great coffee and is reasonably priced. What’s not to like?

If you want a simple way to make a decent cup of coffee, the best cafetière is an excellent tool to have in your kitchen arsenal. Also known as a French press, a cafetière merely requires you to spoon in your ground coffee, top up with boiled water, then place the filter lid on top and leave for a few minutes before plunging it to take the grounds to the bottom. The coffee is then ready to pour and drink. On the plus side, because it's see-through, you can see the coffee. This gives you an element of control that you don't get from opaque steel, because you watch the coffee brew. For me, that adds to the brewing experience – although coffee geeks would respond that coffee should always be left to brew for roughly the same amount of time (Wallace suggests four minutes, give or take), so what does it matter? A cafetiere should be comfortable to hold and pour, and you shouldn't need more than a gentle push to press the filter down.

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. This cafetière is no exception, and it offers something very different to the others that we have looked at so far on this list. Most of which is in the design.What you are left with is a marvellous coffee maker. The stainless steel filter can be deconstructed into three parts – this makes it incredibly easy to get a really effective clean. It also works incredibly well at its primary function of separating the ‘bits’. We bought the 1,000ml version of one of the 350ml cafetieres to see if we could spot any major differences in how well they worked. When using the same amount of ground coffee and hot water in each we couldn't spot any major differences.
