The 1-litre Preziosa Coffee Press is the largest size of Bialetti's plunger coffee maker, indicated by the manufacturer for 8 cups. The beaker is borosilicate glass, the support frame is stainless steel, and the handle is heat-insulating plastic, echoing the shape of the Moka Express.
As with the 350 ml version, the manufacturer states the glass beaker is dishwasher safe. The official page describes the process as pressing the plunger slowly after about 5 minutes of steeping. Bialetti's US page mentions a "fine mesh filter" that traps the grounds; no official Bialetti page states what the filter is made of.
It is a manual brewer, sized for larger households or for brewing several cups at once: it has no electrical parts and no adjustments beyond the coffee dose and steep time.
