The cleaning of a French press is somewhat more difficult than that of other coffee makers. The lid, filter, and stainless-steel framework are all safe in the dishwasher safe. But, simply give it a rinse before placing it in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. However, you should avoid putting the plunger and glass carafe in the dishwasher as this can damage it. If you need to clean the plunger, simply rinse it with warm water and soap.
