The French Press Premium 3 Cups is the more refined plunger coffee maker in Melitta's catalogue, the company that invented the paper coffee filter. The manufacturer states a high-quality borosilicate glass jug paired with a stainless steel outer frame.
The official page describes a "press sieve" (the mesh filter fitted on the plunger) as the guarantee of ideal filtration, but it does not give the capacity in millilitres beyond the "3 cups" label, nor does it state whether the product is dishwasher safe: both pieces of information are simply absent from this page.
Like any plunger coffee maker, it is a manual brewer with no electrical parts: the result depends on the coffee dose, water temperature and steep time chosen by the person using it.
