The French press has been making coffee without electricity, complicated machinery, or blinking digital displays for generations. Its enduring appeal is that a few simple steps produce a rich, full-bodied brew, while leaving the coffee drinker in charge of the process. It’s also a more sociable piece of hardware than your usual countertop coffee maker.
This ceramic French press elevates coffee making from chore to ritual, with a white marble finish and rose-gold-colored accents. Add coarsely ground coffee and hot water, allow it to steep, then lower the plunger to separate the grounds from the good stuff. A stainless steel filter handles the separation, while the ceramic vessel is handsome enough to accompany the coffee straight to the table.
With a 4.25-cup capacity, there’s room to pour another serving without returning to the kitchen. And when breakfast is finished, the dishwasher-safe construction makes cleanup refreshingly uncomplicated.
