Five stars to the company for a great product and customer service. – dnw

Love, love, love my new french press! ... The design & quality exceeded my expectations! Congratulations on your purchase! Also love the stylish look & color! – David G. We know you’re about to be thrilled. You ordered this because you wanted incredible coffee without sacrificing convenience. You also want it to last. French press coffee makers brew the richest, most full- bodied coffee you’ll ever taste. It’s a result of the extended brewing process that you won’t get with other types of coffee makers. This particular coffee press is built to be durable, so that you can enjoy your coffee for years to come. The carafe is made from a heat-resistant glass designed to withstand sudden changes in temperatures. It’s surrounded by a shell with a base that resists tipping and helps protect the glass during use and storage. The filter assembly and plunger are made from high-grade stainless steel. A spare filter is included in the box. I think you’ll also find this coffee press to be be easy to use and easy to clean. You’ll especially appreciate the comfortable handle designed to assist you when lifting and pouring. And don’t forget that it also works for iced coffee and loose-leaf tea!

We have strict quality controls in place. We inspect items before they even leave the factory and again just before they leave our warehouse.

But as with any product, especially those made of glass, there is always a change of damage occurring in transit.

If you receive a broken item, please let us know immediately. We understand this happens from time to time. If you let us know right away, we’ll ship you a replacement.

Does not feel too delicate, which for some reason is something that other presses seem to be going for. I like this sturdiness very much. It is also easy to rinse out. The filtering screen is nice and tight and does not gather grounds like other presses. This is very convenient for cleaning. – Jennifer

The carafe is heat resistant – which means it will stand up to the rigors of adding hot water – but it is glass and when broken, requires extreme care in handling.

For this reasons, we recommend care when using and handling, including when washing by hand.

Carefully inspect the carafe before using. If cracks or chips in the glass are observed at any time, immediately stop using and discard all drink already made with the coffee press.

Never attempt to remove or adjust carafe within its protective housing. This can damage or break the glass. If the item arrives with a misaligned carafe, please contact Customer Support.

Caution The water you pour into the coffee press will be hot. Use caution when pouring hot water into the press, when stirring your brewing coffee/tea, when pressing the filter down and when pouring the drink into serving cups.

Holding the French Press firmly on a dry, sturdy surface, pull the handle up to remove the plunger from the carafe.

Add 1 rounded tablespoon of coarse ground coffee per 4 oz. cup to the carafe.

Pour the desired amount of nearly-boiling water into the carafe, leaving at least an inch of space at the top. Gently stir with a wooden spoon.

Place the lid on the carafe. Without pressing plunger down, let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes.

Holding the handle firmly, apply minimal pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down.

Pour coffee and enjoy.

Remove the filter assembly from the carafe and clean all parts with tap water after each use.

Your Sunlit French Press coffee maker makes great-tasting cold or iced coffee too! Here’s how.

Holding the French Press firmly on a dry, sturdy surface, pull the handle up to remove the plunger from the carafe. Add coarse ground coffee (you’ll likely want to use more coffee than you’d use to make hot coffee) per 4 oz. cup to the carafe. Pour the desired amount of room temperature water into the carafe, leaving at least an inch of space at the top. Gently stir with a non-metal spoon. Place the lid on the carafe. Without pressing plunger down, let the coffee brew by refrigerating about 12 hours. Holding the handle firmly, apply minimal pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down. Important note for cold coffee: Push very gently so as to not agitate the mixture (you can even skip pushing the plunger any further down than is necessary to keep the assembly stable while pouring). Pour coffee over ice cubes, add cream and sweetener and then enjoy. Remove the filter assembly from the carafe and clean all parts with tap water after each use.

Make sure all parts have been thoroughly cleaned of coffee residue if your French purpose is used for both coffee and tea. Holding the French Press firmly on a dry, sturdy surface, pull the handle up to remove the plunger from the carafe. Add tea leaves to bottom of carafe. Pour the desired amount of nearly-boiling water into the carafe, leaving at least an inch of space at the top. Place the lid on the carafe. Without pressing plunger down, let the tea steep according to your desired brew strength. Holding the handle firmly, apply minimal pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down. Don’t compress the leaves with the plunger. Pour tea immediately into cups. Any leftover tea should be poured immediately into a separate container. Remove the filter assembly from the carafe and clean all parts with tap water after each use. If desired, save the leaves for later use.

As with any product made of glass that can involve hot liquids, please use with care.

Don’t use metal utensils.

Don’t push plunger with too much force or at an angle.

Don’t use in a microwave oven.

The carafe is made of specially-designed borosilicate heat- resistant glass, so it tolerates hot and cold temperatures, but that doesn’t mean it won’t get hot when it contains hot water. Don’t touch it.

Don’t pour near-boiling water into the carafe too quickly. You don’t want hot water splashing back at you.

Inspect glass carafe before first and every use to make sure it has not been damaged in shipping or storage. If any cracked glass is observed, do not use!

Do not place on stovetop or over direct heat.

How to Get the Most from Your French Press

Use filtered water for better taste.

The “magic” happens during brewing, not by pressing down on the grounds (leaves) with the plunger. Don’t try to compress the mixture.

The fresh coffee from a French press is best consumed immediately. Don’t make more coffee than you can enjoy in one sitting. If you do have coffee leftover, pour it into a separate container or your coffee will continue brew (at a reduced rate) if it remains in contact with the grounds.

Adjust the ratio of coffee to water to match your tastes. When brewing iced coffee, use a higher ratio of coffee to water. The coffee isn’t as soluble in the cooler water.

Use coarse-ground coffee, only coarse enough to not pass through the mesh filter but still fine enough to maximize flavor.

Seeing some sediment in your coffee cup is not uncommon (especially if using a finer grind). Pour slowly and don’t completely empty the carafe to minimize the sediment transferred to your cup.

Consider experimenting with longer brew times (as much as 8 minutes) (as long as you’re using a coarse grind) to see how the resulting flavors match up against your preferences.

Use water just below the boiling temperature (195-205 ºF).

Don’t wait to clean your coffee press. Once the coffee and grounds dry, it becomes much more difficult to clean.

First French press I've ever owned. I'll never go back to Keurig. – Andrew

Cleaning your Sunlit French Press Coffee Maker is simple and easy! Just wash with warm water and dry by hand.

Clean immediately after use.

No disassembly is generally needed (other than removing the lid and plunger from the carafe). But the filter assembly can be disassembled for a more thorough cleaning, if desired.

Never use wire, steel wool or abrasive cleaners or detergents. What is not to love about this French Press?!? Seriously it's Discard coffee grounds. great.

Thoroughly rinse the carafe, lid, plunger and filter assembly. Run your fingers over the filter parts to work free any stuck grounds. Be careful to not dislodge the circular spring.

A weekly (or once or twice a month, depending on usage levels) cleaning with hot water and a teaspoon of baking soda can be effective at removing residue that builds up over time.

Question: Why is there space below the filter even when pressed all the way down? Answer: Because the press can be used to make between 1 and 4 cups of drink. The space you see when brewing only a single cup of coffee will be gone when making a full pot.

Question: How am I supposed to press the coffee grounds with this space below the filter? Answer: See previous question.

The French press brews coffee when the plunger is up and stops when the plunger is down. Pressing the plunger down stops the brewing process and separates the coffee grounds from the coffee. Applying pressure to the coffee grounds is not actually part of the process!

Question: Does it take longer to make coffee with a coffee press? Answer: Once you have hot water and ground coffee, it only takes about 4 minutes. Works like a charm. – bl Question: Does it require a special kind of coffee? Answer: Coarse ground works best. Finely ground coffee can more easily sneak past the filter. Because the coffee and water are together for the entire brewing process, there’s no need to use fine-ground coffee.

Question: What if I don’t have coarse-ground coffee? Answer: You can still use fine- ground coffee, but the results won’t be as good and you may find more grounds getting past the filter and into your coffee.

Question: Is the plastic in the lid BPA-free? Answer: Yes!

© Copyright 998 East. All Rights Reserved. Frequently Asked Questions (Continued) Question: Can the same coffee press be used for both coffee and tea? Answer: Yes, but we recommend very thorough rinsing when switching from one to the other. Otherwise, you risk flavors and oils from the coffee getting into your tea.

Question: Should the plunger be pressed quickly or slowly? Answer: Slowly (about 5 to 10 seconds).

Question: Can the filter be replaced? Answer: Yes, although needing to replace the filter should be a rarity. But for your convenience in case it should be needed, a spare replacement is included in the box.

This coffee maker is beautiful and makes a delicious cup of coffee. Highly recommended for discriminating coffee drinkers. –Barbara

Question: Does coffee brewed with a French press really taste better? Answer: We think so and so do many others. Of course, in the end, it will be for you to decide!

Question: Will there be any coffee grounds in my coffee? Answer: It’s possible. The filter and its assembly will do a good job of keeping coffee grounds out of your coffee, but the occasional piece could still sneak through. If you notice this happening regularly, inspect your filter for damage and replace as needed. Note that as with any coffee press, it is normal for very fine particles to appear in the bottom of your coffee cup (only a paper filter could eliminate these). Many people choose to not completely pour their brewed coffee from the press into their cups and then also to leave the last sip of coffee in their cups. Rad french press!! I'm very clumsy and feel more confident using this type of press that won't break as easily as others. – Rosy

Am VERY pleased and my AM cup of coffee now tastes fabulous!! Simple and easy and quick, perfect! Thank you for your most excellent product! – Gad

Disassembly Unscrew the filter assembly from the plunger stem by firmly grasping the stem (not the knob — you don’t want to loosen the knob!) and twisting the filter assembly.

Reassembly

Be careful to reassemble everything in the correct order and orientation as shown in the diagram below. Note that the filter mesh curvature should begin to wrap around the spring and point upward (toward the top of the carafe) when reassembled. Press the parts together tightly when re-threading the assembly onto the stem.
