Preziosa by Bialetti – 3-Cup French Press

The French press provides the simplest way of making quality, traditional coffee. It is made from 18/10 stainless steel and a borosilicate glass carafe, and features a l’Omino (the little man) cutout, which is widely recognized as Bialetti’s original symbol of quality and authenticity.

How to Use

1. Place pot on a dry, flat, non-slip surface. Hold handle firmly, then pull the plunger unit straight up and out of the pot.

2. Put course ground coffee or loose tea into the pot.

3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 1-inch space at the top.

4. Stir the brew with a plastic or wooden spoon.

5. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn lid to close off the pour spout opening. Do not press down for at least 4 minutes.

6. Hold the pot handle firmly with the spout turned away from you. Then using the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to slowly lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Minimum pressure produces the best results.

7. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and pour coffee into a cup.
