Cafetiere

A Cafetiere is a coffee brewing device consisting of a narrow cylindrical jug usually made of glass or clear plastic, with a lid and a "plunger" which fits tightly in the cylinder. The end of the "plunger" has a fine wire or nylon mesh which acts as a filter.

Coffee is brewed by placing the coffee and water together in the jug, leaving to brew for a few minutes, then depressing the plunger to push the coffee to the bottom of the jug.

The coffee produced is usually stronger and thicker and has more sediment than filter-brewed coffee.

Coffee for use in a Cafetiere should be of a consistent, coarse grind. The use of a burr mill grinder gives a more consistent grind than the whirling blade variety.

To help you choose the perfect Cafetiere for you we have selected a few examples from some of the best retailers around.
