Be your own barista – Make your favorite coffee or tea at home Just like how the most scrumptious foods contain some oils and fats, the Ovente French Press works thoroughly to extract all the flavorful oils and bold, complex flavors that naturally occur in gourmet coffee beans. These flavor-enhancing oils are absorbed by the costly paper filters used with traditional coffee pots. The 4-part stainless steel plunging system uses a fine, stainless steel mesh filter to thoroughly extract all the succulent flavors from your coffee grounds, leaving you with a smooth cup of coffee with little to no waste. Composed of heavy-duty, heat-resistant and temperate borosilicate glass, its durable carafe is equipped with a sleek, ergonomically-designed protective shell, making it perfect for taking it with you to work, on vacation, and just about anywhere. Note: Always grind your coffee beans before use. Coarse grounds are better suited for this French press. Please be extremely careful when handling your press, especially when hot.
