Cafetieres

Cafetieres are classic French press coffee makers ideal for serving rich, full-bodied coffee in cafes, hotels, restaurants and guest houses. This range includes durable stainless steel and glass cafetieres, with options from compact 3-cup presses to generous 12-cup models for busy breakfast service. Many designs feature insulated double-wall construction to keep coffee hotter for longer, supporting efficient table service. Stylish finishes in polished, satin and contemporary colours help you present coffee professionally front of house while standing up to daily commercial use.

• Glass cafetieres that showcase the brewing process and suit modern coffee shop presentation.
• Insulated stainless steel cafetieres for superior heat retention during breakfast buffets and table service.
• Multiple capacities from 3-cup to 12-cup to suit single servings, couples or larger groups.
• Contemporary black, copper and satin finishes to match your bar, restaurant or hotel decor.
• Robust commercial-grade construction designed for frequent use in hospitality environments.
• Complementary beverage service items such as water bottles and coffee accessories for a complete setup.

How to choose the right Cafetieres

• Decide on capacity based on your service style, from small 3-cup presses for individual servings to 8-12 cup models for shared pots and breakfast service.
• Choose between glass for visual appeal and table theatre, or stainless steel for maximum durability and heat retention.
• Consider insulated cafetieres if you run buffets, room service or slower-paced table service where coffee needs to stay hot.
• Match finishes such as polished, satin or coloured bodies to your existing tableware and barware for a cohesive look.
• Check handle comfort and plunger quality to ensure safe, easy pouring for staff and guests.
• Plan storage and workflow so that clean cafetieres are always ready during peak coffee service times.

Care and maintenance

• Disassemble plungers and filters after each service and wash thoroughly to prevent coffee oil build-up and off-flavours.
• Use non-abrasive cloths and mild detergents on glass and polished stainless steel to avoid scratching and dulling the finish.
• Check mesh filters and plungers regularly for damage or warping and replace worn parts to maintain smooth plunging.
• Allow glass cafetieres to cool slightly before rinsing to reduce the risk of thermal shock and cracking.
• Ensure all components are fully dry before reassembly and storage to prevent staining and corrosion.
• Train staff on correct filling levels and plunging technique to minimise spills and extend the life of your cafetieres.
