French Press coffee maker Berlinger Haus BH/1496 — 0.35 L, burgundy glass

Berlinger Haus BH/1496 is a manual French Press coffee maker with a 0.35 L capacity housed in burgundy transparent glass. The compact immersion brewer combines a heat-resistant glass carafe with a plunger and fine mesh filter to deliver full-flavored single servings of coffee, tea or herbal infusions. Its small footprint and straightforward operation make it suitable for use at home, in small kitchens, at the office desk or while travelling.

Advantages

The borosilicate-style transparent glass body allows visual control of brewing while resisting temperature changes during infusion. A stainless-steel plunger with a fine mesh filter provides efficient separation of grounds or leaves from the brewed beverage, producing a clean cup with minimal residue. The 0.35 L volume is sized for one to two servings, offering a compact, portable option that is simple to disassemble and clean.

Suitable for

• Preparing single or double servings of French press coffee
• Brewing loose-leaf tea and herbal infusions
• Small kitchens, office desks or travel where a compact brewer is needed
• Users who prefer manual control over brewing time and strength

Key specifications

• Capacity: 0.35 litres
• Body material: transparent burgundy glass
• Brewing method: immersion plunger (French press)
• Filter type: fine mesh plunger filter for grounds/leaf separation
• Suitability: single-serve/double-serve portions

How to use

Remove the plunger assembly and add the desired amount of coarsely ground coffee or loose tea leaves into the glass carafe. Pour hot water (just off the boil for coffee, or according to tea type) to the appropriate level and allow to steep for the recommended time. Slowly press the plunger down to separate grounds or leaves from the liquid, then pour the brewed drink into a cup. Disassemble the plunger to discard used grounds or leaves and rinse all parts after each use.

Usage recommendations

For best results with French press coffee, use coarse grind and a brewing time of about 3–4 minutes, then press the plunger slowly and steadily. When brewing tea, follow steeping times specific to the tea variety and avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness. Allow the glass to cool slightly before cleaning and avoid sudden temperature shocks.
