Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Use 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) coarse ground coffee for 4 ounces of water. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 Tablespoon [11.1 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
• Finely ground coffee will make it difficult to press the coffee.
• Only buy the amount of coarsely ground coffee that you think you will use in one week. This will make sure you have the freshest coffee.

Carafe Safety Precautions

This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal injury if you fail to read and follow these safety precautions.

• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle.
• This carafe is designed to be used only with your French Press. Do not use on a gas or electric rangetop, or in a microwave or conventional oven.
• To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when cleaning.
• Do not place hot carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow to cool before washing or adding liquids.
• Do not set carafe on a hot heating surface.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any other materials that may scratch.

This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break which could result in personal injury.

• Do not place hands inside carafe. When handling, be careful if wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can scratch the glass, which increases possibility of breakage.
• Do not bump or scratch.
  Discard carafe if it is cracked or scratched.
• To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.
• When stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils.
• Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn injuries which may result if breakage occurs while carafe holds heated liquids.

Care and Cleaning

Clean French Press after each use. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders since they may scratch the smooth surface of the carafe, causing the glass to break suddenly during use or cleaning.

DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in the dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your product.
