Kenya French Press Coffeemaker

Because the French press uses a metal mesh filter rather than paper, it allows the coffee's natural oils and fine particles to pass into your cup. This results in a heavier, more full-bodied texture and a deeper, more robust flavor profile compared to drip coffee.

The carafe is made from durable borosilicate glass, which is specifically engineered to withstand thermal shock. It is perfectly safe to use with boiling water, though you should always handle it with care to avoid accidental impact.

The stainless steel plunger and mesh filter are designed to create a tight seal against the carafe walls. While it is highly effective, using a coarse grind is essential; if your coffee grounds are too fine, some sediment may slip through.

Yes, all components of the Kenya French Press are dishwasher safe. For the best longevity, we recommend hand washing the glass carafe occasionally to prevent clouding over time.

In the world of French presses, a 'cup' is typically defined as 4 ounces. This 34-ounce model will yield approximately 34 ounces of brewed coffee, which is enough for about four standard mugs.

The detachable base allows you to easily remove the glass carafe for thorough cleaning or replacement if the glass ever breaks. It also helps protect the bottom of the glass from direct contact with hard surfaces.
