The French Press Premium 8 Cups is the larger size of Melitta's higher-end plunger coffee maker, the same line as the 3-cup version already in the catalogue. The manufacturer states a high-quality borosilicate glass jug paired with a sturdy stainless steel outer frame.
The official page describes a "press sieve" (the mesh filter fitted on the plunger) as the guarantee of ideal coffee filtration. The manufacturer adds two details not present on the 3-cup version's page: the glass jug is stated as microwave-safe, and the handle is described as ergonomically shaped and heat-insulating.
Like the smaller version, the page does not give the capacity in millilitres beyond the "8 cups" label, nor does it state whether the product is dishwasher safe. 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.
