Full details
The Le Creuset Stoneware Cafetière in yellow is designed for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate both aesthetic charm and high-capacity brewing.

FAQs
Can I put this cafetière on the stovetop?
No, this stoneware product is not designed for direct contact with heat sources like stovetops or open flames.
Is the cafetière dishwasher safe?
Yes, the stoneware body is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish over the long term.
What type of coffee grind should I use?
A coarse grind is best, similar to sea salt, to ensure the filter works effectively and the coffee remains grit-free.
How do I maintain the stainless steel knob?
Keep it clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the finish of the metal.
Is the stoneware prone to chipping?
While the enamel is very durable, stoneware is a ceramic material and can chip if subjected to heavy impact or dropped on hard surfaces.
Troubleshooting
The plunger is difficult to press down.
Ensure you are using a coarse grind; a fine grind will create too much resistance and may clog the mesh filter.
Coffee grounds leaking into the cup.
Check that the filter mesh is tightened securely to the plunger shaft and that the edge of the mesh is not bent.
Stains appearing on the inside walls.
Soak the stoneware in a mixture of baking soda and water to gently lift coffee oils without damaging the enamel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your cafetière, always use a coarse grind of coffee to prevent the plunger mechanism from clogging. When cleaning, the stoneware body is dishwasher safe, though hand-washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth is recommended to maintain the luster of the enamel. Do not use metal scouring pads as they can scratch the surface. Ensure the stainless steel filter assembly is taken apart periodically to remove coffee oil buildup, which can negatively affect the flavor of future brews. Always handle with care, as stoneware remains susceptible to impact damage if dropped on hard surfaces.
