Crafted from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, the carafe is encased in a sturdy, beautifully-designed stainless steel frame with striking chevron cutout patterns. The stylish press brews 33.8 ounces of coffee - eight 4-ounce espresso-sized cups. Featuring a comfortable handle, easy-pour spout and gleaming stainless steel lid, the French coffee press makes an elegant service choice in the kitchen, at the table, or wherever it's enjoyable to unwind while savoring authentic coffee flavors.The patented BonJour Flavor Lock stainless steel filter system allows the brewing process to be stopped in the coffee press when the desired strength is reached, and a filtering lid helps reduce sediment in cups of espresso and gourmet coffee beverages like cappuccinos, mochas and lattes.
