Travel Coffee Maker: the 450ml Cafetière A 450ml travel coffee maker built to be carried, and a proper cafetière rather than a compromise. The glass body is shatterproof, and it sits inside a hard plastic casing that adds a second layer of protection, so the whole thing takes knocks that would end a kitchen cafetière. There is no separate handle to snap off, a fine stainless steel filter, and a footprint small enough to live in a kitbag. Real French press coffee, wherever you have hot water. Why this travel French press Most French presses are designed for a worktop. Glass sides, a glued handle, and no protection at all. The moment one goes in a bag it is a matter of time. This one is built the other way round: shatterproof glass first, then a hard casing over the top that works as both insulation and shock absorber. It is the robust option for anyone who actually moves with their kit, on the road, in the field, or on a job site. How to brew with a French press Add 25 to 30g of coarse ground coffee to the press. Pour 400ml of hot water (93 to 96°C) over the grounds. Stir gently. Place the lid on with the plunger up. Wait 4 minutes. Press the plunger down slowly. Pour and drink. What grind to use Coarse. Finer grinds slip through the mesh and end up as sediment in the cup. Our ground coffee is ground for cafetière, so it works straight out of the bag. Specs Capacity: 450ml (3 cups) Body: shatterproof borosilicate glass inside a hard plastic protective casing Plunger and filter: stainless steel with food safe silicone Dimensions: 180mm H x 85mm W x 85mm D Temperature resistant: minus 30°C to 200°C Colour: black Best coffee for a French press The mesh filter lets the oils through, which means a fuller body than a paper filter brew. Works well with darker, chocolatey blends. Battle Prep: Brazil and Latin America blend, balanced and chocolatey. The default daily driver. After Hours: higher Robusta content, intense and nutty, for early starts or long shifts. Is this French press unbreakable? No cafetière is indestructible, and we will not claim it is. What this one has is a shatterproof glass body and a hard plastic casing around it, which is two more layers of protection than a standard glass cafetière carries. It is built to survive being packed, dropped, and used away from a kitchen. Is it big enough to share? 450ml is three cups, or two decent mugs. Enough for one person over a morning, or two people once. Is it a good camping coffee maker? Yes. It needs nothing but hot water and coarse ground coffee. No filters to run out of, no power, no separate handle to lose, which is more than most camping coffee makers can say. Boil water however you normally would and brew straight into the press. How does French press coffee compare on strength? Read our coffee strength scale guide to see where cafetière coffee sits on the strength scale, and how it stacks up against pour over, AeroPress, and espresso. We also wrote a direct comparison: pour over vs French press.

Travel Pour Over and Filter Papers A silicone pour-over cone with 40 V60 filter papers. The cone is flexible, near-unbreakable, packs flat, and brews a clean filter coffee anywhere you can find hot water. The complete pour-over kit in one bundle. How a pour over works Set the cone on a mug, drop in a paper filter, add ground coffee, and pour hot water in a slow spiral over the grounds. The water draws through the coffee bed, the filter holds the grounds back, and a clean cup of filter coffee lands in the mug below. Three minutes from kettle to mug. Why silicone over ceramic or plastic Ceramic shatters. Plastic warps and stains. Silicone bends to fit any rucksack pocket, takes drops without cracking, and doesn't pick up coffee residue. Pre-rinse the filter paper with hot water before brewing to wash out the paper taste. What grind to use Medium grind. A bit coarser than espresso, a bit finer than cafetière. Best coffee for pour over Single origins do well in a pour over. The clean filtration shows off origin character. Try Brazil Daterra for chocolate and nut notes, or Honduras SHG for hazelnut and caramel. Pack includes Silicone V60-style pour-over cone 40 V60 Coffee Filter Papers Pour over vs French press Pour over: lighter body, cleaner cup, more origin character. French press: heavier body, more oils, fuller mouthfeel. Different brewers for different jobs. We compared them in detail: pour over vs French press. How does pour over compare on strength? Read our coffee strength scale guide to see where pour-over coffee sits on the strength scale and what actually makes coffee strong.

AeroPress Stainless Steel Filter A reusable 316-grade stainless steel filter for the AeroPress. Keeps the grounds back, lets the oils through. The result is a fuller-bodied cup than a paper filter brew, and no paper to run out of. Why 316 stainless steel 316-grade is more corrosion-resistant and harder-wearing than the 304-grade steel used in cheaper filters. It survives the dishwasher and the years. Best coffee for the steel filter The steel filter shows off origin character because the oils stay in the cup. Single origins are the natural pairing. Try Brazil Daterra for chocolate and nut, or Honduras SHG for hazelnut and caramel. Pair with the Flow Control Cap for the most control. Why use it over paper Reduces waste Reusable, no consumables Easy to clean: rinse and dry Only 13g, packs flat Compatible with the AeroPress and AeroPress Go For more on AeroPress brewing, see our guide on how to use an AeroPress and our review of the latest AeroPress attachments.

AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap A pressure-actuated cap for the AeroPress that stops drip-through. Means you can steep for longer, use a coarser grind, build pressure when you press, and pull a crema closer to espresso than a standard AeroPress brew. How the Flow Control Cap works The standard AeroPress cap lets coffee drip through during the steep, which limits how long you can leave the grind in contact with water before flavour goes off. The Flow Control Cap uses a one-way valve that stays closed under low pressure (when the plunger isn't pressing) and opens when you push down. Steep for as long as you want, then press. Use cases Longer steeps with no drip-through Coarser grinds that pull more slowly Crema-style brews (pair with a paper filter and dark roast) Espresso-leaning recipes Filter compatibility Works with both AeroPress paper filters and the reusable stainless steel filter. Pair however you like: AeroPress Paper Micro-Filters: 350 paper filters, the cleanest cup Reusable Steel Filter: lets the oils through for a fuller body Brewer compatibility Fits the standard AeroPress and the AeroPress Go. Does not fit the AeroPress XL. Care Rinse and wipe. The valve is sealed and doesn't need stripping down. Want the full bundle? The Flow Control Cap is part of our AeroPress Bundle with the brewer and the steel filter. For more on AeroPress brewing, how to use an AeroPress.
