Steering away from the typical La Cafetiere design, the company famed for their glass based french presses have gone back to the drawing board with this stainless steel encased 6 cup cafetiere.
It's a wonder they didn't do it sooner, and over the years of using a plunger, you start to become a bit cynical about the entire secondary market that is dedicated to replacement glass beakers for the LaCa. and Bodum french presses. Sure there are some plastic ones out there, but they affect the taste of the coffee and don't look anywhere near as stylish as their glass counterparts.
So with this Unique Stainless Steel, double walled French press, La Cafetiere have revisited the drawing board and have give us something that looks classic, timeless, has enough capacity for a dinner party. One thing that we found with the Unique model - as have other users - is the great inclusion of the double wall insulation chamber, which means that you don't have to rush do drain the coffee at all.
If, like me, you're keen on getting through a 4-cup cafetiere every now and then, you can now do it without having to rush or reheat the steeped coffee - it stays warm for upto 30 minutes we found.
With the experience and expertise of La Cafetiere you always get reliable components in the french press - and this model is no exception. The filter is nice and tight, so the mesh filters out more of the grains that some of the generic brands, leading to a sludge-free cup of coffee.
There has been one criticism of this press, however. Some have found - and we were able to replicate - that if you don't quite hit the pouring action just right, the spout tends to dribble back down the stainless steel casing - which is obviously a little inconvenient, and could potentially run on and cause damage to your table or cloth.
That said, we think it's worth the risk, and would highly recommend this La Cafetiere Uniqe 6 Cup French press. You can take a look at it over on Amazon, who give you a variety of buying and delivery options.
