Overview
The Bodum Caffettiera is a 3-cup, 12-ounce French press with a chrome-plated steel frame, glass carafe, and a 3-part stainless press mechanism, sized for one or two small servings rather than a full pot.
That makes it a personal-size press best suited to someone brewing for themselves each morning, and Bodum sells larger sizes in the same line for anyone needing more.
- 12 oz / 3-cup labeled capacity
- Chrome-plated steel frame
- 3-part stainless press mechanism
- Dishwasher-safe parts
Who it's for
Suits someone who wants a single mug or two small cups of French press coffee without measuring water for a bigger pot. Not the right size for a household that fills a full carafe, since the 12-ounce capacity runs out fast.
Pros and cons
- Right-sized for a single morning cup
- 3-part stainless mechanism keeps grounds out
- Metal base doubles as a warm-surface stand
- Easy to clean, dishwasher-safe parts
- 12 oz capacity is closer to 1 mug than 3 cups
- Carafe fits a little loose in the metal holder
- Too small for households brewing for more than one
Performance notes
The 3-part stainless press mechanism keeps grounds out of the cup while letting coffee oils through, the French press method's main advantage over paper filtration. The metal base doubles as a stand that can sit on a warm surface, and the plastic lid and handle keep the frame lightweight despite the steel construction.
