600ml Perfect Capacity
The 600 milliliter capacity is the sweet spot for French press brewing. It makes about three standard coffee mugs or two larger cups. This is the perfect size for an individual who drinks multiple cups in the morning or for two people sharing a pot.
The size is also ideal for cold brew. Make a small batch of concentrate that will last several days. The 600ml carafe is large enough to be useful but small enough to fit comfortably on your counter.
For tea drinkers, this size is perfect for brewing a pot of loose leaf tea for two people.
Heat Resistant Glass Carafe
The carafe is made from heat resistant glass that can handle the thermal shock of French press brewing. Pour boiling water directly into a cold carafe without worrying about cracking. The glass is also clearer than ordinary glass, allowing you to watch the brewing process.
You can see the coffee bloom when you first add water. You can watch the grounds steep and release their oils. You can see the plunger descend, separating the grounds from the liquid. The beauty of French press brewing is fully visible.
The glass is also easy to clean and does not stain or absorb coffee oils.
Stainless Steel Filter for Clean Coffee
The filter is made from fine mesh stainless steel. It is designed to capture coffee grounds while allowing the rich oils and fine particles that give French press coffee its distinctive body to pass through.
The result is a cup that is clean and smooth but still full bodied. You get the best of both worlds – the clarity of filtered coffee with the richness of French press.
The stainless steel filter is also durable and easy to clean. It will not rust or degrade over time. It disassembles for thorough rinsing.
Durable Red Frame and Handle
The frame and handle are finished in a bold, vibrant red. This is not just a cosmetic choice. The red finish is also durable and resistant to scratches and wear.
The frame provides structural support for the glass carafe, protecting it from bumps and knocks. The handle is ergonomically shaped for a comfortable, secure grip.
The red color adds a pop of personality to your kitchen. It stands out among the sea of black and stainless steel appliances. It is cheerful and inviting, the perfect way to start your morning.
Easy Brewing for Fresh, Bold Flavor
Using this French press is simple and rewarding. Coarsely grind your favorite Folgers coffee. Add about two tablespoons of grounds per 6 ounces of water. For the 600ml press, use about 4 to 5 tablespoons of coffee.
Heat water to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit, just below boiling. Pour a small amount of hot water over the grounds and stir. Let it bloom for thirty seconds. Then pour the rest of the water.
Place the plunger on top without pressing down. Let steep for four minutes. Slowly press the plunger down with steady, even pressure. Pour and enjoy the fresh, bold flavor.
The Difference Between French Press and Drip Coffee
French press coffee is fundamentally different from drip coffee. In a drip machine, water passes through the grounds once, extracting only the most soluble compounds. The paper filter also traps the natural oils that give coffee much of its flavor and body.
In a French press, the grounds steep in hot water, extracting the full range of flavors. The metal filter allows the natural oils to pass through, resulting in a richer, fuller bodied cup. French press coffee has more complexity, more texture, and more character.
Once you try French press coffee, you may find it hard to go back to drip.
Great for Folgers Coffee
Folgers coffee is known for its consistent, approachable flavor. It is the coffee that millions of Americans grew up drinking. In a French press, Folgers coffee reveals new depths of flavor.
The rich, smooth character of Folgers is enhanced by the full immersion brewing method. The natural oils that are trapped by paper filters in drip machines are allowed to shine. The result is a cup that is familiar yet elevated.
Try Folgers Classic Roast, Black Silk, or Gourmet Supreme in this French press. You will taste notes you never knew were there.
Perfect for Morning Rituals
There is something meditative about the French press brewing process. It takes a few minutes, but those minutes are a ritual. You grind the beans. You heat the water. You watch the coffee bloom. You wait as it steeps. You press the plunger.
This ritual is a moment of calm before the rush of the day. It is a chance to be present and intentional. The Folgers French press, with its cheerful red frame, makes this ritual even more enjoyable.
Start your day with a moment of peace and a cup of bold, fresh coffee.
Perfect for Cold Brew
The French press is also excellent for making cold brew coffee. Coarsely grind your favorite Folgers coffee. Add about half a cup of grounds to the press. Fill with cold water. Stir to saturate all the grounds.
Place the plunger on top but do not press down. Let it sit on your counter for twelve to twenty four hours, or in the refrigerator. The 600ml size is perfect for small batch cold brew.
After steeping, press the plunger down slowly. Pour the cold brew concentrate over ice and dilute with water or milk to taste. Cold brew is smoother, less acidic, and naturally sweeter than hot brewed coffee.
Perfect for Loose Leaf Tea
This French press is also a wonderful tea maker. Add loose leaf tea to the carafe instead of coffee grounds. Use about one to two teaspoons of tea for the 600ml press. Heat water to the appropriate temperature for your tea type.
Pour hot water over the leaves and let steep for the recommended time. When steeping is complete, press the plunger down. The stainless steel filter separates the leaves from the liquid, stopping the steeping process instantly.
This works for all types of tea – black, green, oolong, white, and herbal. The 600ml size is perfect for sharing a pot of tea with a friend.
Easy to Clean
Cleaning this French press is simple. After brewing, remove the plunger and discard the grounds. Rinse the carafe with warm water. The heat resistant glass surface does not stain or absorb coffee oils.
The stainless steel filter can be disassembled for thorough cleaning. Rinse each component under running water. Every few uses, wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
The red frame and handle can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Durable Construction
The Folgers French press is built to last. The heat resistant glass carafe is more durable than ordinary glass. The stainless steel filter will not rust or degrade. The red frame and handle are scratch resistant and colorfast.
With proper care, this French press will provide years of reliable service. It is an investment in your daily coffee ritual.
