Elegant design brews up to 3 servings (with a total 12-ounce capacity). Perfect for the coffee enthusiast or at-home baristas, it's designed to extract the most flavor from ground coffee and achieve a more flavorful brew without buying expensive machines that hog up precious counter space. Water levels marked on the glass, along with the included coffee scoop, help measure the precise water-to-coffee ratio for the perfect cup every time. Its plunger lid, with a built-in microfilter in the spout, pushes grounds to the bottom of the pot and filters out sediment when pouring fresh-brewed coffee. Simply measure medium-ground coffee directly into the glass (approximately 2 rounded tablespoons per 8-ounces of water, or to desired taste). Pour in a small amount of boiled water, gently stir grounds so they sink, and wait 30 seconds for coffee to 'bloom' in the water so it releases more flavor. After the 30 seconds, pour in the rest of the water. Position the plunger lid inside the pot with the filter just above, and level to, the water line. Allow coffee to brew for 3 to 5 minutes. Once coffee is brewed, slowly plunge the grounds (about 20 seconds) to the bottom of the pot. Grounds will continue to brew at the bottom of the pot and make coffee even stronger. Be sure to pour and enjoy coffee immediately. Made from high borosilicate glass and stainless steel, Aerolatte's French Press Coffee Maker is easy to use and clean. The durable glass beaker easily lifts out from the frame for cleaning. All parts are Proposition 65 compliant and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
