Pure Coffee Taste with No Plastic Contact
Most French presses have plastic components that touch your hot coffee. The filter housing is plastic. The lid is plastic. The plunger rod has plastic parts. When hot water and coffee come into contact with plastic, chemicals can leach into your brew. You can taste it. You can smell it.
This French press is different. Every surface that touches your coffee is either glass or stainless steel. No plastic. No chemicals. No off tastes. Just pure, clean coffee the way it should taste. The carafe is made from thickened borosilicate glass. The filter assembly, plunger rod, and lid interior are all stainless steel.
If you care about the quality and purity of your coffee, this is the French press for you.
34 Ounce Large Capacity
The 34 ounce capacity is the perfect size for sharing. You can brew enough coffee for two to four people, depending on cup size. One full press fills about four average mugs or six smaller cups.
The large capacity also makes this French press versatile. Brew a full pot for breakfast with the family. Brew a half pot for an afternoon pick me up. The size is generous without being too bulky or heavy.
For cold brew, the 34 ounce capacity is ideal. Make a full batch of cold brew concentrate that will last several days. Store it right in the carafe in the refrigerator.
Thickened Borosilicate Glass
The carafe is made from thickened borosilicate glass, which is superior to ordinary glass. Borosilicate glass resists thermal shock, meaning it can handle sudden temperature changes without cracking. Pour hot water into a cold carafe? No problem.
The glass is also thicker than standard French press carafes. This added thickness provides better insulation, keeping your coffee hot longer. It also makes the carafe more durable and resistant to breaking.
The clarity of the glass is exceptional. You can watch the coffee bloom and steep. You can see the plunger descend. The beauty of the brewing process is fully visible.
Stainless Steel Plunger and Filter Assembly
The entire plunger and filter assembly is made from stainless steel. There are no plastic parts that touch your coffee. The filter screen is fine mesh stainless steel that captures even the smallest coffee grounds.
The stainless steel construction is durable and easy to clean. It will not rust, corrode, or degrade over time. Unlike plastic components, it will not absorb coffee oils or odors. Your coffee tastes fresh every time.
The filter screens are double layered for optimal filtration. They allow the coffee oils to pass through while trapping the grounds. The result is a rich, full bodied cup with minimal sediment.
No Plastic Touches Your Coffee
This is the defining feature of this French press. From the moment you pour water in, to the moment you pour coffee out, your beverage touches only glass and stainless steel.
The lid interior is stainless steel. The plunger rod is stainless steel. The filter housing is stainless steel. The carafe is glass. Even the spout is formed from the glass carafe.
Some French presses claim to be plastic free but then have a plastic filter cage or plastic components in the lid. This one does not. Every single part that contacts your coffee is metal or glass.
Perfect for Hot Brew Coffee
Using this French press for hot coffee is simple and rewarding. Coarsely grind your favorite beans. Add two tablespoons of grounds per six ounces of water. Heat water to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour a small amount of hot water over the grounds and stir. Let it bloom for thirty seconds. Then pour the rest of the water. Place the plunger on top without pressing down. Let steep for four minutes.
Slowly press the plunger down with steady, even pressure. Pour and enjoy. The result is a rich, full bodied cup with more flavor complexity than drip coffee.
Perfect for Cold Brew
The French press is also excellent for making cold brew coffee. Add coarsely ground coffee to the carafe. Use about one cup of grounds per four cups of cold water. Stir to saturate all the grounds.
Place the plunger on top but do not press down. Let it sit on your counter for twelve to twenty four hours, or in the refrigerator. The longer it steeps, the stronger the concentrate.
After steeping, press the plunger down slowly. Pour the cold brew concentrate over ice and dilute with water or milk to taste. Cold brew is smoother, less acidic, and naturally sweeter than hot brewed coffee.
Perfect for Brewing Tea
This French press is also a wonderful tea maker. Add loose leaf tea to the carafe instead of coffee grounds. Use about one teaspoon of tea per cup of water. Heat water to the appropriate temperature for your tea type.
Pour hot water over the leaves and let steep for the recommended time. When steeping is complete, press the plunger down. The filter separates the leaves from the liquid, stopping the steeping process instantly.
This works for all types of tea – black, green, oolong, white, and herbal. You can also brew iced tea by using cold water and steeping in the refrigerator.
Great for Travel and Camping
The durable construction of this French press makes it ideal for travel and camping. The thickened glass is more resistant to breaking, and the stainless steel components will not rust. The 34 ounce capacity is perfect for sharing around the campfire.
The carafe is not too heavy, making it easy to pack in a camping bin or RV cabinet. It is also the right size for a cabin getaway or vacation rental that may not have a coffee maker.
Brewing coffee while camping has never been easier. Just heat water over a camp stove, add grounds, steep, and press. No electricity needed.
Beautiful Dark Pewter Finish
The dark pewter finish on the frame and handle gives this French press a sophisticated, modern look. It is not shiny or flashy, but elegant and understated. The dark color complements any kitchen decor, from modern to farmhouse to industrial.
The finish is durable and resists fingerprints. It will maintain its appearance for years with proper care. The dark pewter also hides minor scratches and wear better than lighter finishes.
This French press is beautiful enough to leave on your counter as decor. It makes a statement about your commitment to quality coffee.

This French press is a thoughtful gift for housewarming, weddings, birthdays, or holidays. The dark pewter finish is universally appealing. The large capacity is practical for most households.

Easy to Clean
Cleaning this French press is simple. After brewing, remove the plunger and discard the grounds. Rinse the carafe with warm water. The glass surface does not stain or absorb coffee oils.
The stainless steel filter assembly can be disassembled for thorough cleaning. Rinse each component under running water. Every few uses, wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
