Product Information

Of course they are! I should point out from the outset, that this is one of the more expensive options on our list, but it more than lives up to its price tag. 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? 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. First of all, the design is just wonderful. Combining the traditional with the modern, it is incredibly stylish. The chrome complements the glass, and the soft, rounded edges make it look and feel smooth. This is an exact replica of the design they first used in the 1950’s, updated with the materials and colours from the modern era to reaffirm their commitment to environmentally correct manufacturing. The KitchenCraft Le’Xpress Stainless Steel is another choice of ours which is for those who love minimalistic and simple designs. The design differs from others by having a rounded shape instead of straight lines, which makes it very unique. The elegant silhouette is sure to make a wonderful addition to your tabletop or worktop layout.

A Le Creuset Cafetiere is a must-have for any country kitchen lover and a key part of your Le Creuset collection. Le Creuset Stoneware is crafted by artisans using specialist clays and bright, beautiful, glazes. This sleek yet striking Le Creuset Cafetiere is strong, scratch-resistant and simple to clean. The Le Creuset Cafetiere features the iconic Le Creuset three-ring design on the lid which will fit perfectly into your existing Le Creuset collection of stoneware and cast iron. 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 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. 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. First of all, I should say that I love the look of this cafetière. The brushed stainless steel gives it a subtle style to it. It’s classy, without being in your face about it. An understated sophistication.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. Something a bit different now from VeoHome – a French company that makes kitchenware – often utilising stainless steel. We are interested to hear which cafetière you think is the best! Let us know. We hope our selection here has inspired you to opt for the cafetière instead of the coffee machine. Additional Resources It is a perfectly functional little cafetière, even if nobody seems to want to take the credit for it! As such, it may represent a bargain, as it does everything you could want it to do. While it’s not a french press at all, strictly speaking, Barista & Co’s One Brew deserves a spot in our roundup. The brewing process is actually very similar. Rather, the main difference is the omission of the cafetière’s all-important plunger. Instead, the One Brew’s silicone seal and stainless steel filter ensure that no grounds escape into your cup.

The best cafetiéres have a sturdy plunger and base. They should leave you with pure, ground-free coffee, and they should be easy to pour from. Different models will come in different sizes and materials, and more expensive versions will even have double-insulated walls so your coffee stays hot for a really long time. From the ultra-stylish to the ultra-functional now, as we look at this solid cafetière from Heemburg – a tiny two-person company from Luxembourg that was only formed in 2018.There is a lot to like about this. First of all, I really like the design – it is clear and simple, but not without style. I love the silver logo against the solid grey of the cylinder, and the handle is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The silver lid and plunger really finish it off well. 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? The stainless steel cafetieres cooled more slowly than any of the other cafetieres we tested. The best stainless steel cafetiere for heat retention lost less than half the heat in the first 10 minutes than the worst glass cafetiere did. The large 1000ml size means that you can make not just one delicious cup of coffee, but eight! This will serve you well during your coffee drinking endeavours. Add boiling water to your favourite coffee grounds and get a rich and smooth brew every time. Overall, the Cafe du Chateau is a great borosilicate glass cafetière, with a steel frame available at a reasonable price. We call this the London slurp," Alex Wallace explains, as he loudly ingurgitates a slug of freshly brewed coffee from a warm spoon. Apparently, this way it hits your retronasal olfactory receptors, where you perceive flavour the strongest – although I'm not sure you'll see it in Costa any time soon.
