What is a Cafetiere?
A cafetiere is a manual coffee maker consisting of a cylindrical carafe, a plunger with a fine mesh filter, and a lid. It’s lauded for its ability to brew coffee with a rich, full-bodied flavour by steeping coarse coffee grounds in hot water and pressing them down. This method preserves the essential oils of the coffee, delivering a robust and aromatic cup.
The History of the Cafetiere
The cafetiere, also known as the French press, has a storied history that reflects its evolution into a beloved coffee brewing device. The earliest known patent for a precursor to the modern French press was filed in 1852 by French inventors Mayer and Delforge. Their design featured a simple system to brew coffee by pressing grounds through boiling water.
In 1924, another French inventor, Marcel-Pierre Paquet dit Jolbert, secured a patent for an improved version of the cafetiere, officially published on August 5, 1924. The design underwent further refinements, and in 1929, Italian designer Attilio Calimani patented his iteration of the French press. However, it was Faliero Bondanini who, in 1958, significantly popularised the device by initiating its production in France. Bondanini's version gained widespread popularity, particularly under brand names like Mélior and later Bodum.
Today, the cafetiere is celebrated worldwide for its straightforward design and ability to brew rich, full-bodied coffee, remaining a staple in households and cafes alike.
How to Use a Cafetiere
Brewing coffee with a French press, or French press, is a straightforward process that yields a rich and aromatic cup. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve the perfect brew:
- Add Coffee: Place coarsely ground coffee into the cafetiere—one scoop per 125 ml of water.
- Heat Water: Boil water and cool slightly to 90-92°C.
- Combine: Pour water over the coffee grounds, ensuring they are fully saturated. Stir gently.
- Steep: Cover with the lid and steep for 4 minutes.
- Press: Slowly press the plunger down to separate the grounds from the coffee.
- Serve: Pour and enjoy your freshly brewed coffee.
For a more precise brewing experience, consider using a coffee scale to measure your ingredients accurately and a kettle with temperature control to ensure the water is at the optimal brewing temperature. Additionally, pre-warming your cafetiere by rinsing it with hot water can help maintain the brewing temperature, leading to a better extraction.
