Primula Classic Glass 8-Cup Coffee Press with Black Handle

Elegantly designed in the classic French-press look, this Primula coffeemaker features a domed lid and footed frame in metal with a chrome-like finish, definitely adding class to after-dinner java. The large black handle, made of a heat-resistant synthetic material, enables pouring without burning knuckles on the hot glass. Unlike some presses that use polycarbonate containers, this one (model PCP-6408) has a heavy glass insert that can be removed for easy cleaning, either in a dishwasher or preferably by hand. A three-cup version of the press is also available; both make excellent gifts for the coffee lover.

Many coffee aficionados believe the French-press plunger method of brewing is the best way to bring out the richest flavor of the beans. This coffee press employs that method to brew eight cups of aromatic coffee. To use, simply put medium-to-coarse ground coffee in the bottom of the glass container, add hot (not boiling) water, wait approximately three minutes, and slowly press down the plunger with the stainless-steel mesh filter. All the grounds will be captured below the filter, leaving the coffee ready to pour and enjoy. –Ann Bieri

Using a coffee press is the sure way to appreciate the true flavor of the coffee bean. When you are spending money on a quality coffee bean then you should use a coffee press so you can truly enjoy the oils and robust tastes.
