Q: Can it be used for making tea?
A: Thank you for your question! Yes, you can use the CHAMBORD French Press to make tea—just add your loose tea leaves or tea bags, pour in hot water, let it steep to taste, and press the plunger down to strain the leaves or bags. If you’re looking for a design specifically made for tea, we recommend our ASSAM Tea Press, which includes a specially designed filter basket that separates the tea leaves from the water after steeping, so your tea doesn’t overbrew. Hope this helps!

Q: CAN THIS COFFEE MAKER ALSO BE USED FOR COLD BREW COFFEE MAKING ?
A: Absolutely! When making cold brew we recommend using 3 Bodum Scoops (Included) for every 8 Oz. of cold brew you would like to make. Since this does not come with a spare flat lid; like our Bean Cold Brew coffee maker; we recommend sealing the carafe with saran wrap when placing in the fridge to keep the coffee aromas in and any competing aromas from your fridge out. Enjoy!
