French Press coffee maker Berlinger Haus BH/1497 — 0.6 L, Burgundy

Berlinger Haus BH/1497 — 0.6 L French Press in burgundy is a manual coffee maker designed to extract full-bodied filter coffee by steeping ground coffee in hot water. The appliance consists of a single-piece brewing container (glass or stainless steel as supplied) and a plunger with a fine mesh filter that separates grounds from brewed coffee. With a 0.6 liter capacity it produces approximately one to two cups, making it practical for individual use, couples, or small office settings. The design focuses on straightforward operation and routine cleaning.

Advantages

The French Press delivers richer flavour and fuller body than standard drip methods by allowing coffee oils and fine particles to remain in the brew. Its plunger with mesh filter provides effective separation of grounds without paper filters, reducing waste and preserving aroma. The compact 0.6 L size and simple construction make it easy to handle, store and maintain. The burgundy finish offers a distinct look suitable for kitchen counters or office break areas.

Suitable for

• Brewing 1–2 cups of full-bodied filter coffee at home
• Preparing coffee for one or two people in a small office
• Making French Press coffee with medium to coarse grind
• Users who prefer a manual, filter-free brewing method

Key specifications

• Capacity: 0.6 litres (approx. 1–2 cups)
• Colour: burgundy
• Brewing method: French Press with plunger and mesh filter
• Container: single-piece brewing vessel (glass or stainless steel, as supplied)
• Suitable grind: medium to coarse ground coffee

How to use

Preheat the brewing vessel with hot water, then discard the water. Add coarsely ground coffee at a ratio appropriate for desired strength (commonly about 1:15–1:17 coffee to water). Pour hot water just off the boil into the press, stir gently, and place the plunger assembly on top without plunging. Allow the coffee to steep for about four minutes, then slowly press the plunger down to separate grounds from the brewed coffee. Serve immediately to avoid over-extraction.

Usage recommendations

To maintain flavour and longevity, clean the stainless mesh and vessel after each use, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Use freshly roasted and properly ground coffee for best results. Avoid excessive force when pressing to prevent splashes or damage to the filter assembly.
