How do I clean the cafetière?

What is the best way to steep coffee in this cafetière?

Pour hot water (around 200°F or 93°C) over your coffee grounds, let it steep for 4 minutes, then slowly press the plunger.

How large is the cafetière?

The generous size is perfect for serving multiple cups of coffee, ideal for households or entertaining.

Will the stoneware absorb odors or flavors?

The non-porous, enamelled surface is designed to resist odors and flavors, making it easy to maintain its pristine condition.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Le Creuset offers a limited lifetime warranty on its stoneware products against manufacturing defects.

Can I use this cafetière for tea?

Yes, the cafetière can also be used for brewing loose-leaf tea, following a similar steeping process.

Troubleshooting

Coffee tastes weak or bitter

Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio or steeping time. Ensure you are using freshly ground coffee and water that is just off the boil.

Plunger is difficult to press

Ensure the coffee grounds are not too fine or packed too tightly. Check for any obstructions in the mesh filter.

Stains on the interior

Soak the cafetière in warm water with a mild detergent. For tougher stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be used, followed by gentle scrubbing.

Cafetière is chipped or cracked

Discontinue use immediately if there are any chips or cracks, especially on the rim or base, as this can be a safety hazard.
