Your Complete Guide To Cafetière Coffee: From Instant to Excellence

Are you ready to transform your daily coffee ritual? If you've been reaching for instant coffee each morning, we're about to introduce you to a world of richer, more satisfying coffee through the simple magic of a Cafetière.


Why Make the Switch?

Let's be honest - instant coffee is convenient, but it's a bit like watching your favourite film on a tiny mobile screen. You're getting the basic experience, but missing all the brilliant details that make it special.

With a Cafetière (also known as a French Press), you'll discover:

  • Fuller, more complex flavours

  • A proper coffee aroma that fills your kitchen

  • The satisfaction of a proper brewing ritual

  • Complete control over your coffee's strength


Your Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Cup What You'll Need:

  • Your Cafetière

  • Coarsely ground coffee (like our specially selected CAFETIÈRE & CO blends)

  • Kettle

  • Timer (your phone will do nicely)

  • Measuring spoon


The Perfect Method:

  1. Measure: Use 2 tablespoons of coffee per 250ml of water

  2. Heat: Bring water to boil, then wait 60 seconds (95°C is ideal)

  3. Pour: Add coffee to your CAFETIÈRE, then pour water in a circular motion

  4. Wait: Let it steep for 4 minutes (set that timer!)

  5. Press: Slowly push the plunger down - no rushing!

  6. Serve: Pour and enjoy immediately

Common Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

Even the most seasoned coffee lovers once started where you are. Here's how to skip the learning curve:


❌ Using boiling water (it burns the coffee)

❌ Grinding beans too finely (hello, bitter coffee)

❌ Rushing the press (patience makes perfect)

❌ Leaving coffee in the Cafetière (serve it all right away)

Caring for Your Cafetière

A well-maintained Cafetière is a happy one:


  • Clean after each use

  • Store it dry and assembled

  • Handle with care while cleaning

  • Replace the mesh filter when needed
