Product Information

If you want a simple way to make a decent cup of coffee, the best cafetière is an excellent tool to have in your kitchen arsenal. Also known as a French press, a cafetière merely requires you to spoon in your ground coffee, top up with boiled water, then place the filter lid on top and leave for a few minutes before plunging it to take the grounds to the bottom. The coffee is then ready to pour and drink. As for how much you use, it will depend on the strength of coffee and the strength you personally like your drink. As a rough guide, use 6g (about three tablespoons) of coffee per 100ml. If you’re a real coffee lover, be prepared to try different coffees, grinds and brew times to work out your favourite blend. It looks fabulous. Almost combining the look of a cafetière with that of a teapot – a lovely smooth, bulbous look, with a beautiful stainless steel finish. This is different to almost any other cafetière that I have seen and has a really stylish look to it. The best cafetiéres have a sturdy plunger and base. They should leave you with pure, ground-free coffee, and they should be easy to pour from. Different models will come in different sizes and materials, and more expensive versions will even have double-insulated walls so your coffee stays hot for a really long time. The Meelio is made of durable and eco-friendly material so that you can brew coffee and feel good about sustainability. Even the metal filters are reusable, which will save you a lot of money in the long run.

This has everything I want though. It stands tall and proud, in one of three colours (steel, copper or brushed gold) and has a dignified elegance to it. It holds itself so well and seems to command respect. You could imagine it placed proudly on a table at a royal banquet at the turn of the last century, but it still wouldn’t look out of place on a modern kitchen counter. It is a stunning cafetière, and for that reason alone, this should be on your shortlist. Stainless steel cafetieres are popular for keeping your coffee insulated, and our heat retention tests confirmed that they're effective.This is one of the more expensive cafetières that we will be looking at on this list, but it is a great place to start. It is sturdy, long-lasting, versatile and does the job brilliantly. Make this your starting point in your search. The handle is comfortable to use and sturdy – a good distance away from the main unit so there is no chance of burning yourself while you are pouring. Speaking of pouring – the spout is well designed to give you a nice pour without the risk of drips. Some French presses also have the dual function of tea makers. If you are also a lover of tea, you may want to keep an eye out for french presses that offer this. Why Buy a Cafetière? However, if you find cleaning that filter a bit of a fiddly chore, then the One Brew definitely does have one up on the french press as it’s very easy to clean. As the name suggests, you can only make one cup at a time, but if this isn’t an issue, you’ll be pleased with its neat, minimalist design. As a cafetière at the lower end of the budget, this does the job. It is only small, so best to be used for small households or maybe as a travel option, but if that is what you are after, this is perfect.

And it is wonderful. As you would expect, at the very top of the price range that we are looking at today, just take a moment to appreciate its design. It is the classic Le Creuset look – a vibrant volcanic colour (plenty of other options are available), which draws the eye and would look at home as the centrepiece of your kitchen. The detail on the lid looks wonderful. A classic look, for a classic cafetière. As I eye up a stoneware Le Creuset number, a shiny steel contraption from Stellar and a rather jazzy Tom Dixon design, I wonder what else I should be looking out for in a superior French press?Onto the next one – this time from Barista and Co. These guys are based on the South Coast of the UK – another coffee slash lifestyle brand that aims to make drinking great coffee as accessible as possible.

Thankfully, now we know there are gators that make great coffee. The Coffee Gator Cafetière is a neat, simple, and easy to use cafetière that is vacuum insulated.

How We Compared Cafetières

The stainless steel cafetieres cooled more slowly than any of the other cafetieres we tested. The best stainless steel cafetiere for heat retention lost less than half the heat in the first 10 minutes than the worst glass cafetiere did. There isn’t much to dislike about this VeoHome cafetière at all. I love the design, the 0.75-litre capacity is decent and everything else works as well as you would expect, so if the design suits you, this is a great option at the higher end of the price scale.The stainless steel filter will do the job that it is designed to do – keep the coffee grounds separate from the drink. It is all suitable for use in a dishwasher, so there is no problem at all when it comes to keeping it clean. This double-walled Cafetière and lid can help to keep the coffee warmer for a longer time.

Overall, the Café Ole Stainless Steel Cafetière is a great piece of coffee making art. We bought the 1,000ml version of one of the 350ml cafetieres to see if we could spot any major differences in how well they worked. When using the same amount of ground coffee and hot water in each we couldn't spot any major differences. Cafetieres can be a nuisance to clean. Coffee grounds easily get lodged in the nooks and crannies of the press, so it's important that your cafetiere is easy to take apart and clean.
