About this product
Black, small and straightforward: the Oggi French Press Coffee Maker holds 12oz for a single serving of three cups, brewed when you want it rather than kept warm. Immersion brewing gives you the water to grounds ratio to play with, which is how a press earns its keep over a machine. Borosilicate glass takes boiling water poured straight in with no fear of cracking. A stainless steel lid and plunger hold the built-in filter, and the spout pours quickly and cleanly straight from the carafe. Two things worth knowing from the maker: a grind that is too coarse, too little coffee or grounds that are not pressed firmly enough will all leave the brew under-extracted, so getting the grind and dose right is most of the job. It works as a hot tea press for loose leaf too.
