The Groenenberg has different size models available. We have chosen the 0.6 litre model for our feature. With this size, you can fit up to 3 cups of coffee with ease. The practical size also means that you can take this cafetière on your travels – it would be perfect for camping! Rather like how long you should leave your tea bag in for, this question has a different answer depending on who you ask.

Cafetieres can be a nuisance to clean. Coffee grounds easily get lodged in the nooks and crannies of the press, so it's important that your cafetiere is easy to take apart and clean. A popular place to take your cafetière is camping because it allows you warm, instant coffee in the cool outdoors. A lot of cafetières are now made to be travel-friendly, just to help you achieve this wonderful experience. For those of you who love coffee everywhere and anywhere – this is a great design feature! Extra Function The Maison and White French Press Cafetière is made out of premium quality materials and has a sleek look to it. The silver finish not only looks great but is long-lasting, rust-proof and heat-resistant. This classic design also comes with coffee press accessories, such as measuring spoons, extra filters, and even a bag clip to store your coffee.We know how much coffee is beloved, so we have compiled a list of tried and tested cafetières to help you find the best one. See below for our list of the best cafetières in the UK! How We Compared Cafetières For the uninitiated: sometimes known as a French press, a cafetière consists of a heatproof vessel into which you add your coffee. Then you add your hot (not quite boiling) water and leave to brew for a few minutes. Then, the most satisfying part – you gently press the plunger down, thus separating the perfectly brewed coffee from the grounds which are left at the bottom. This has everything I want though. It stands tall and proud, in one of three colours (steel, copper or brushed gold) and has a dignified elegance to it. It holds itself so well and seems to command respect. You could imagine it placed proudly on a table at a royal banquet at the turn of the last century, but it still wouldn’t look out of place on a modern kitchen counter. It is a stunning cafetière, and for that reason alone, this should be on your shortlist.

The best cafetières in the UK come with a well-built base and good quality plunger. You can opt for cheaper cafetières too, but they usually don’t have the sturdiness and quality, plus you don’t want to break your cafetière when you’re desperate for your coffee. There are some expensive options as well, but they all make the same cup of coffee, and you’d be better off paying less for an equally great cafetière.We judged how convenient each cafetiere was on each of these factors and penalised them if they poured messily or took a lot of effort to press. Coffee grounds filtration The Bodum Chambord 8 has the 8 in its name because it makes 8 cups. We got the 1-litre version for testing simply because we all wanted to try out a cup of coffee from seemingly the best cafetière in the UK. Did the Bodum Chambord 8 pass our expectations? Yes, and it exceeded them as well. This glass cafetière looks tremendously elegant, and the coffee-making experience is very refined.

However, if you find cleaning that filter a bit of a fiddly chore, then the One Brew definitely does have one up on the french press as it’s very easy to clean. As the name suggests, you can only make one cup at a time, but if this isn’t an issue, you’ll be pleased with its neat, minimalist design. With a 1 litre capacity, I am struggling to find an attribute to this where it falls short of the competition. It looks great, and it makes wonderful coffee. Put this on your shortlist. We measured the rate that the temperature of each cafetiere dropped over one hour, and discovered that a 1,000ml cafetiere containing 350ml of coffee cooled down faster than a fully filled 350ml cafetiere. We didn’t know there was a company named Coffee Gator before this, and we were delightfully surprised! Thankfully, now we know there are gators that make great coffee. The Coffee Gator Cafetière is a neat, simple, and easy to use cafetière that is vacuum insulated. We also like how Coffee Gator is a generous company and gave us a cute yet stylish coffee bean container in the box.

It has a great filter that will leave you with a great tasting drink that is free of nasty little coffee grounds. The filter has three levels to it, so it is incredibly efficient here. You can brew and enjoy perfect coffee and tea with the Cafe du Chateau French Press Coffee Maker. This french press is made of heat resistant borosilicate glass and stainless steel, which gives you the best of both words – sturdiness and style! The glass portion allows you to actually see the coffee being made as well. If you prefer your coffee to be milder, let it brew for less time, and if you like your coffee stronger and more bitter you can leave it for longer.
