Cafetieres & Coffee Pots

Making barista-quality coffee at home doesn't have to be complicated. With a good cafetiere, you can unlock rich, full-bodied flavour in just a few minutes, all without a machine

Whether you know it as a French press, a coffee press, or just your morning lifesaver, it’s one of the easiest ways to get a quality brew. Our collection has everything you need to build your own coffee station, featuring classic glass designs by La Cafetière and durable stainless steel models that keep your coffee hot for longer. 

We also stock precise pour-over kettles, induction plates, carafes, and drip sets to combine with your favourite mug if you prefer filter coffee. 

Coffee pots for every kitchen

Whether you enjoy the ritual of a slow brew or like your coffee ready in a flash, our range has something for everyone. A classic glass coffee pot looks lovely on the breakfast table and lets you keep an eye on the strength. For those who prefer the pour-over method, we’ve got a range of carafes and drip sets from brands like Aarke that make brewing feel effortless.

What is the best cafetiere?

Finding the best cafetiere really depends on your lifestyle. If you like to take your time over breakfast (or go back for a second cup), a double-walled stainless steel cafetiere is a great choice because it traps the heat for much longer than glass.

However, if you love the traditional look and want to see the swirl of the brew as it develops, a classic La Cafetière glass model is the way to go. Whichever you choose, make sure you combine it with a fine mesh filter to stop any coffee grounds slipping through into the mug.

How to use a cafetiere

Getting a smooth, grit-free cup is easy when you know how. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Remove the cafetiere lid and pull the plunger all the way up.
  2. Add your coarse-ground coffee to the cafetiere body (one rounded dessert spoon per cup is usually plenty).
  3. Pour over water that’s boiled but not bubbling, as boiling water can burn the coffee and ruin the taste.
  4. Stir gently with a wooden or rubber spoon (metal spoons can crack glass beakers).
  5. Pop the cafetiere lid back on and let it sit for around four minutes.
  6. Slowly press the plunger down, then pour into your chosen mug immediately.

What is the best coffee for cafetieres?

When using a cafetiere, you’ll usually want a coarse grind. If the grounds are too fine (like the type used for espresso), they can slip through the mesh filter and make your coffee taste bitter or develop a muddy texture. 

A medium-to-dark roast works really well in a press, giving you those deep, rich flavours we all love. Just remember to keep your grounds fresh in an airtight canister for the best taste.
