Alessi Barkoffee Press Filter

The press has a capacity of 72 cl, which translates to approximately 8 cups of coffee. Keep in mind that this measurement is based on standard demitasse or small coffee cups, so you can expect about 3 to 4 generous mugs.

Yes, the double-wall stainless steel construction provides excellent thermal retention compared to glass French presses. It will keep your coffee hot significantly longer, though it is still best to serve immediately after brewing for the freshest flavor.

While the stainless steel body is durable, we recommend hand washing the carafe and plunger components to preserve the finish and the integrity of the mesh filter. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the textured bark design.

For the best results with this single mesh filter system, use a coarse grind. A finer grind can slip through the mesh and result in a gritty cup of coffee.

Thanks to the double-wall insulated design, the exterior remains much cooler than a single-walled carafe. However, it is still metal, so use caution when handling it immediately after pouring boiling water.
