Overview
Hario builds this press around a heatproof glass beaker held in an olive wood sleeve, with a plunger that pushes a reusable filter down through the grounds. Coffee steeps in the beaker, the plunger separates it from the grounds, and the brew pours straight from the glass.
Pressing the coffee through a reusable filter leaves most of the oils in the cup, which is why the listing recommends it for single origin beans and full flavor. Olive wood lifts it beyond a plain kitchen tool, but the glass is still glass and the wood is left unfinished, so it wants hand care.
Who it's for
A single person or a couple brewing a morning pot will use the full capacity and enjoy the wood on the counter. Someone brewing for a crowd, or who wants to run everything through the dishwasher, should look at a bigger or simpler press.
Pros and cons
- Reusable filter, nothing to replace
- Heatproof glass beaker
- Polished olive wood exterior
- Full bodied brew with oils retained
- Unfinished wood, not sealed
- Glass beaker needs careful handling
- Small batch size
- Dishwasher safety not listed
Performance notes
The plunger filter decides the cup: a reusable filter lets the oils through, which gives the heavy body the listing describes. Steep time and grind size set the strength, since nothing heats or times the brew for you. The glass holds heat only as long as a glass does, so pour soon after pressing.
