Planetary Design's Table Top French Press is the perfect fusion of design and durability. Most coffee connoisseurs agree that French pressing coffee is the purest way to extract the flavor profile the coffee roaster intended. Unlike the delicate glass French press coffee maker, this innovative stainless steel French press is stylish, functional and durable. Not only is it nearly indestructable, it is constructed of double-walled, vacuum insulated, 18/8 restaurant-grade stainless steel--it will keep your coffee hot hours after it's been brewed. To use a Table Top stainless steel French press simply add coffee grounds, (use a French press grind which is slightly more course than a drip grind) approximately 1 tablespoon for every 4 ounces of water. You can either add the cream and sugar if desired to the French press coffee maker now or wait until after pouring. Let the brew steep for 4-5 minutes or to desired taste, push down plunger and enjoy!
