This steel is quite stable, withstanding extreme temperature changes without deformation or deterioration. In addition, the body of the vessel is made from thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass. All the materials are of high quality, which helps to remain the origin taste of coffee as well as safe for health.

The brand’s l’Omino cut frame, widely recognized as Bialetti’s original symbol of quality and authenticity. Piston with small filter layer is well designed and machined, sealed and fits the body of the pot for high filter quality and limiting coffee residue.

How to make coffee with French Press Bialetti Preziosa

• Step 1: Boil water for prepareration (about 400 – 500 ml)
• Step 2: Put the coffee into the grinder. Coffee brewed with a French Press should be coarsely ground (equaally or coarser than V60 – about 20 clicks or more on a Timemore C2 / Timemore Slim Plus grinder), not too finely ground. If you grind too fine, pushing the piston easily will cause the powder to be mixed into the coffee water.
• Step 3: Put 20 – 25 grams of coffee into a French Press pot, then pour a little water in so that the coffee soaks up the water and blooms evenly (Blooming process). Rest for about 30 seconds, then pour the remaining water into the coffee according to the ratio of coffee and water is 1:10.
• Step 4: Place the Piston into the pot and brew the coffee for about 3 minutes.
• Step 5: Press the piston vertically and evenly to compress the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot.

Note: When pressing the Piston, if the push down is too light, it may be because the ground coffee is too coarse, and in the other hand, the coffee grinds too fine will cause heavy force when pushing down. Which the ground coffee is too coarse or too fine does not only affect the hand force when pushing Piston but also makes the coffee taste not as desired. Coarse ground coffee may cause more acidity, lacks taste while finely ground coffee tends to be bitter.

Beside of making coffee, you can use a French Press to:

• Whip milk to make latte, cappuccino at home.
• Make Cold Brew tea or coffee.
