Your cart is empty.The French Press is one of the easiest methods to make great tasting coffee at home. Coarsely ground coffee beans or loose tea leaves are steeped in boiling water, and then filtered away by plunging the mesh sieve through the press. Crafted from premium stoneware for excellent heat retention, the Le Creuset French Press is finished with a vibrant glaze which is easy to clean, dishwasher-safe, and resistant to chips, scratches and stains.

I am happy that I spent the extra money (versus other French presses) to get a high quality and beautiful Le Creuset. Plenty of capacity for 4-5 cups and easy to use.

I used to have the transparent glass one but this put a different touch in my kitchen. Adds class , more aesthetic in the eye.plus this is bigger than the usual press.

You can never go wrong with Le Creuset. While it’s on the pricier side, this french press is built to last—heavier duty than others so expect it to be a kitchen staple for the next 20+ years. The white color is simple, timeless, and complements any kitchen decor. Durable, versatile, and beautifully crafted, it’s worth every penny.

This is a great cafetiere, very pretty design and holds the coffee warm for a long time. It's quite heavy though, so takes a bit of getting used to, especially if you've previously had a glass cafetiere.

Excellent, beautiful option if you're tired of breaking glass beakers, and especially if you are sensitive to metallic taste. I did tons of research, avoiding plastic touching coffee, etc. This is the only ceramic FP I could find that checked all the boxes, so it's worth the price. Typical Le Cruset quality standards.Look, coffee is the last vice I have...so I do it right, by golly. Use good coffee with FP/coarse grind and you'll be a convert too. After trying several brands, I use Starbucks French Roast as my daily house brand (Starbucks was the most forgiving if you are lax about brew times. Others were great, but would easily turn bitter if left a tiny bit too long.) I use a Breville burr grinder and a FP or Aeropress. My IT guy loves it when I have a problem and he can come in the morning and get a real cup of coffee. It's important to keep your IT guy happy. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for him.FPs CAN SO BE EASY TO CLEAN! First off, if you use FP/coarse grind coffee you will have no problems with grounds in your cup or your drains. To clean, run a strong water stream from the faucet to rinse the filters over the FP so grounds go in press, not down drain. Then continue the stream into the grounds "puck", and dump them into a fine mesh strainer. Blast the puck again till it's all in the strainer (Usually just twice.) Then dump strainer in the garbage. That's all I do on a daily basis, then put it all in the dishwasher every time I run it.You deserve good coffee...its right there in the Declaration of Independence: "All people are created equal, and have a right to life, liberty and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" (history major.) If you aren't going to use good coffee and grind it right, stick with a Cuisinart drip maker till you can manage the rest. (Hot tip from my drip days: try Cafe Bustello cuban coffee. If it's too strong for you, use 1/2 the normal amount for American coffee. Good taste at unbeatable price.)

Es muy bonita y resistente. He usado muchas prensas francesas de cristal y esta, aunque es mucho más pesada, creo que aguantará más el uso frecuente. Hermosa. El filtro que baja con el émbolo queda a la perfección así que atrapa bien el café. Me encantó. El color es muy bonito. Creo que voy a comprar otra para cuando tenga visitas poder tener suficiente café.

This really is a wonderful cafetiere. Quite beautiful and holds the heat exceptionally well, especially if heated before use with a bit of boiling water. There is a bit of wobble in the lid, but the mesh fits very snugly when plunged and I've had no issues with rogue coffee grounds in my cup.I've been lucky not to have dropped it, so far, but it seems very sturdy and well-built.Of course it's very much on the expensive side, but well worth it.

My husband and I fell hard for French pressed coffee a few years ago and I bought him this Christmas of 2012 (I figured I couldn't do any better than a French made French Press!).I work night shift and he and I both are in grad school, so we go through a ton of coffee. When I say this I don't just mean we make a pot every morning, but rather multiple pots a day—every day. Given its frequent use, this press has become a permanent counter fixture. For us this unusual, as I normally hate for things to sit out. Though surprisingly I don't mind to see this product out when I walk in the kitchen. One, because it's beautiful. Two, because we seriously use it all the time. And three because coffee makes me happy :)Unfortunately my husband chipped about a centimeter size piece off the spout a couple months back. It initially made me pretty sad because of how much I love this French. I ended up getting some epoxy and reattaching the chip—now you can hardly tell it's there. I don't fault the product for the break. My husband was forcibly shaking out some used grounds and hit the side of our metal bin pretty hard with the spout . It’s actually surprising that the break wasn’t a lot worse. It is stoneware after all.In response to those who complain the press feels light and/or is not a durable product:You may have gotten an Le Creuset imitation product (I have seen others report such).If they have authentic products and still think they are too light--think of this. This product holds nearly 30 oz of fluid which equals to around 2lbs. Add this 2lbs of fluid weight to the product's dry weight of nearly 3lbs, you get a pretty hefty little French press. I doubt the manufactures’ would want to make it much heavier as some may have trouble controlling the pour of the hot liquid.The only negative I can think of for this product is: I wish there were replacement screen/filters available through Le Creuset. The metal screen filter is very thin (which makes for excellent non-grainy coffee) and I am sure it will eventually breakdown. So far I have not noticed any wear. However I plan on using my pretty blue French press as long as possible and don't see the filter lasting through the decades.
