This is the only electric French press that automatically brews coffee at the perfect temperature for rich, flavorful coffee. Unlike the imprecise heating that occurs with a kettle, this device automatically heats water to between 197° F and 204° F—the ideal temperature range for extracting optimal flavor from beans—and transfers the hot water to the French press, resulting in superior, effortless press pot coffee. A heating element in the base keeps brewed coffee warm and the French press removes from the machine and enables confident pours via its silicone handle and spout. The French press has a durable borosilicate glass body, it holds up to 4 cups of coffee, and comes with a stainless steel plunger and screen. Requiring as little space as a toaster, the unit sets up unobtrusively on a countertop and the brewing chamber, French press, and screen plunger disassemble easily for washing by hand. 9" L x 8" H x 4 1/4" D.
