Hario Cafe Press

Yes, the double-walled borosilicate glass acts as an insulator, significantly slowing heat loss compared to single-walled glass or thin metal presses. It maintains a more consistent brewing temperature, which helps ensure a more balanced extraction.

The capacity is 400 ml, which yields about one large mug or two small cups of coffee. It is best suited for personal use or brewing for two people who prefer smaller servings.

Like most French presses, this uses a metal mesh filter rather than paper, so you should expect a small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your cup. This is characteristic of the French press method and contributes to the full-bodied, rich texture of the coffee.

Olive wood is naturally dense and resistant to moisture, but it is a natural material. To keep it in top condition, hand wash the components gently and avoid soaking the wooden parts in water for extended periods.

While the glass carafe is generally durable, we recommend hand washing all components. The heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can damage the olive wood finish and potentially compromise the seals of the double-walled glass over time.
