The glass body is shatterproof, and it sits inside a hard plastic casing that adds a second layer of protection, so the whole thing takes knocks that would end a kitchen cafetière. There is no separate handle to snap off, a fine stainless steel filter, and a footprint small enough to live in a kitbag. Real French press coffee, wherever you have hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this travel French press\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost French presses are designed for a worktop. Glass sides, a glued handle, and no protection at all. The moment one goes in a bag it is a matter of time. This one is built the other way round: shatterproof glass first, then a hard casing over the top that works as both insulation and shock absorber. It is the robust option for anyone who actually moves with their kit, on the road, in the field, or on a job site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to brew with a French press\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 25 to 30g of coarse ground coffee to the press.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour 400ml of hot water (93 to 96°C) over the grounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStir gently.

Our ground coffee is ground for cafetière, so it works straight out of the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 450ml (3 cups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: shatterproof borosilicate glass inside a hard plastic protective casing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlunger and filter: stainless steel with food safe silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 180mm H x 85mm W x 85mm D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature resistant: minus 30°C to 200°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest coffee for a French press\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mesh filter lets the oils through, which means a fuller body than a paper filter brew.

What this one has is a shatterproof glass body and a hard plastic casing around it, which is two more layers of protection than a standard glass cafetière carries. It is built to survive being packed, dropped, and used away from a kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it big enough to share?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e450ml is three cups, or two decent mugs. Enough for one person over a morning, or two people once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a good camping coffee maker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It needs nothing but hot water and coarse ground coffee. No filters to run out of, no power, no separate handle to lose, which is more than most camping coffee makers can say. Boil water however you normally would and brew straight into the press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does French press coffee compare on strength?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.contactcoffee.com\/blogs\/news\/coffee-strength-scale-explained\"\u003eRead our coffee strength scale guide\u003c\/a\u003e to see where cafetière coffee sits on the strength scale, and how it stacks up against pour over, AeroPress, and espresso.
