OXO Brew French Press

The GroundsLifter is a built-in squeegee attached to the plunger assembly. When you pull the plunger up after brewing, the squeegee lifts the spent coffee grounds from the bottom of the carafe, allowing you to dump them directly into the trash or compost bin without scooping.

Yes, the borosilicate glass carafe is removable from the stainless steel housing. This makes it much easier to wash thoroughly and ensures you can clean any coffee oils that might accumulate between the glass and the metal frame.

No, this model is hand-wash only. While the glass and stainless steel components are durable, the GroundsLifter mechanism and the silicone seals are best preserved by washing them by hand with warm, soapy water.

The stainless steel filter is designed to be finer than standard French press screens, which significantly reduces the amount of silt and sediment in your cup. While you may still get a tiny amount of fine particles—which is characteristic of immersion brewing—it produces a much cleaner cup than traditional presses.

This model has a 32-ounce capacity, which is roughly equivalent to four 8-ounce cups of coffee. It is an ideal size for brewing for two people or for a single user who wants a larger volume of coffee in the morning.
