The BODUM Kaffeebereiter INX PRESS KENYA 1 L French Press Coffee Maker, Stainless Steel Plunger is a manual coffee brewer designed to produce full-bodied filter-style coffee without electricity. The 1.0 L capacity accommodates multiple cups for home or small-office use. The unit uses a plunger system with a stainless steel mesh filter to separate grounds from brewed coffee while preserving oils and flavour compounds for a richer cup. The construction combines durable materials appropriate for everyday brewing and straightforward cleaning.
Advantages
The stainless steel plunger and mesh filter provide reliable separation of grounds and minimize sediment while allowing natural coffee oils to pass through for fuller flavour. With a 1.0 L capacity, the press is suitable for brewing several cups in one cycle, reducing the need for repeated preparation. The manual design requires no electricity and offers simple operation: add coffee, pour hot water, steep, and press. Components are accessible for rinsing and cleaning, and the materials are selected for durability and repeated use.

- Home brewing of full-bodied coffee for one to several people

How to use
Preheat the French press and cups with hot water, then discard the rinse water. Add ground coffee to the carafe using a medium-coarse grind appropriate for press brewing; a common ratio is about 1:15–1:17 coffee to water by weight. Pour hot water just off the boil over the grounds, stir gently to ensure even saturation, and place the plunger assembly on top without pressing. Allow the coffee to steep for about 3–4 minutes, then press the plunger down steadily to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. Serve immediately to avoid over-extraction.
Usage recommendations
Use freshly roasted, coarsely ground coffee and follow regular cleaning of the mesh filter and plunger to maintain extraction quality. For milder flavour, shorten steeping time or use a slightly coarser grind; for stronger flavour, extend steeping time within a minute or adjust the coffee-to-water ratio. Rinse all removable parts after each use and occasionally perform a deeper clean to prevent oil buildup.
