Q: What is the cuff made of? And the ties and beads?
A: This is not, as the first answer suggests, a french press. The cuff is made of cork and it seems like the strings are leather/pleather. Hope that helps!
submitted byWill - 3 years agoA: "Brand expert" supplied this answer calling it a french press?? Please remove that answer to prevent further confusion. Thx
submitted byCat - 2 years agoA: This french press is made of stainless steel casing with a borosilicate glass carafe. This item does not contain cuffs ties or beads.

Q: Can paper filters be used in lieu of the stainless steel filter?
A: Yes, you absolutely can use paper filters in lieu of the included stainless steel filter if you would like. Enjoy!
submitted byBodum - 4 years agoBrand expertA: I would use both as just the stainless steel filter still allows coffee sediment through. Don't want crunchy coffee.
submitted byDon - 3 years agoA: I use a paper filter when I don't want any grit in my coffee. I put it on top of the mesh filter to just give it a little support, and the paper doesn't fall into the bottom when I pour the water

Q: What is the little piece with three legs used for?
A: It fits perfectly at the neck with the legs pointing down. I guess it's for some tea or fruit infusion where bulky items don't get poured out...
submitted byStephanie - 4 years agoA: The black, plastic piece with the 3 "legs" and a ball on the other end is a lid for the glass container after you remove the filter.
submitted byLee - 4 years agoA: It is to help with pouring the coffee into your mug, but honestly I didn't see a difference in pouring without it, so I threw it in recycling.

Q: Do you need to use coarse grinds with this? Will fine grinds deep through? Also, which parts are dishwasher safe?
A: If you use fine grind I would also put a triangle shaped coffee filter with it to prevent the finest grounds from getting into your coffee.
submitted byLazypanda - 2 years agoA: For an optimal brew we recommend using a medium grind (in between coarse and fine). All parts except for the cork cuff are dishwasher safe. Enjoy!

Q: Do you need a goosneck kettle for this one?
A: From my personal experience I'd recommend a gooseneck kettle. I went electctric. I was using a standard tea kettle into a Pyrex and ended up spilling the near boiling water all over my hand. Been a month now and still recovering!
submitted byJohnB - 3 years agoA: For up to 1 hour max. The glass does not offer insulation.

Q: It would appear the term "cup" is used differently than what we would expect. The coffee pot would need to hold 64 oz to make 8 cups.
A: All of the Bodum coffee and tea makers are measured in European drinking cup sizes: 1 Cup = about 4oz.

Q: What size paper filter fits into the steel filter, and is it cone or flat bottom?
A: The included stainless steel filter ensures that the oils from the coffee can transfer to your individual cup for full flavor. A paper filter can be inserted for dual filtration, but it will absorb the oils from the coffee and subtly change the taste. The cone filter size #4 will fit.

A: The included stainless steel filter ensures that the oils from the coffee can transfer to your individual cup for full flavor. A paper filter can be inserted for dual filtration, but it will absorb the oils from the coffee and subtly change the taste. The cone filter size #4 will fit.

Q: Can this be used to make tea also?
A: This device is designed, tested, and recommend for use with ground coffee only.

Q: Is the plastic around the stainless steel filter BPA free?
A: Yes, the plastic portion of the filter is, in fact, BPA Free. Enjoy!
