French press BIALETTI Smart 350 ml — coffee press with metal mesh filter, heat-resistant carafe

BIALETTI Smart 350 ml Black is a French press coffee maker designed for simple, reliable home brewing. With a 350 ml capacity it prepares up to two cups of coffee using a stainless-steel mesh filter and a heat-resistant carafe. The compact design and straightforward press mechanism make it suitable for daily use, while its materials allow easy cleaning and repeated use without special maintenance.

Advantages

The BIALETTI Smart French press delivers full-bodied coffee extraction through direct contact between coffee grounds and water, preserving aroma and oils that paper filters remove. Its metal mesh filter provides effective separation of grounds while allowing natural oils to pass into the cup. The heat-resistant carafe maintains infusion temperature for the brewing period, and the compact 350 ml size is convenient for small kitchens, single servings, or two-person households. Construction emphasizes ease of use, straightforward assembly and disassembly, and simple cleaning.

Suitable for

• Home brewing of filter-style, full-bodied coffee for one to two servings
• Small households or kitchens with limited counter space
• Portable use where a simple, manual brewing method is preferred
• Users who prefer metal mesh filtration over paper filters

Key specifications

• Capacity: 350 ml (suitable for up to two cups)
• Filter type: metal mesh filter for immersion brewing
• Carafe material: heat-resistant material compatible with French press use
• Design: compact, manual press mechanism

How to use

Preheat the carafe with hot water, then discard the water. Add coarsely ground coffee to the carafe according to desired strength (typical ratio about 1:15 to 1:17 coffee to water). Pour hot water just off the boil over the grounds, stir gently to saturate, and place the plunger assembly on top without pressing. Allow coffee to steep for around four minutes, then press the plunger steadily to separate grounds from the brewed coffee. Pour immediately to avoid over-extraction.

Usage recommendations

Use coarsely ground coffee and water heated to just below boiling for best extraction. Clean the metal mesh filter and carafe after each use to maintain flavor clarity; rinse components promptly and hand wash or follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Avoid using boiling water directly in succession to prevent thermal shock when the carafe is cold.
