Barista & Co Core Copper Cafetiere - 35cl / 3-4 Cups

Features of the Core Coffee Press from Barista & Co

The Core Coffee Press from Barista & Co is the custom-made piston coffee maker for those who want to say no to plastic. The lid can be used at 360°, allowing coffee to be served without constraints. The pitcher and handle are made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, and the mesh and the rest of the frame are made of stainless steel. The coffee has no contact with plastic during its preparation, ensuring its taste is not altered. Finally, the base of the coffee maker is removable, making cleaning easy.

Advantages of a Small Piston Coffee Maker

The Core Coffee Press piston coffee maker has a capacity of 35 cl - equivalent to an average of 3 standard cups or 4 small cups. Its small size allows it to be easily stored in a kitchen cupboard. It's a perfect coffee maker for those living alone, couples who don't drink much coffee, or those who don't drink coffee at all but want to be able to prepare it for guests after a good meal. And for those who don't drink coffee, consider this little tip: French press coffee makers can be used as a tea maker!

How to Know if Ground Coffee is Suitable for Your Piston Coffee Maker?

There are only two points to pay attention to when preparing coffee in a piston coffee maker.

First, the water should be hot but not boiling, ideally between 88 and 92°C. If the water has boiled, let it cool for a few minutes before pouring it into the pitcher.

Second, the coffee grind must be suitable. Supermarket coffees are ground for filter coffee makers. If you use these grinds with a piston coffee maker, you may end up with residues at the bottom of the cup. Specific grinds for piston coffee makers are available on Maxicoffee.com. Open your package upon receipt and observe: the grind looks a bit like coarse salt.
