Cilio Laura French Press 6-Cup
A well-made French press is one of the simplest, most rewarding ways to brew coffee at home, and the Laura from German brand Cilio is a particularly handsome example of the form. Founded in Solingen in 1993, a city with a long heritage of precision metalwork, Cilio has built its reputation on combining quality materials with considered, functional design. The Laura reflects that ethos: a heat-resistant borosilicate glass carafe paired with a polished stainless-steel lid, handle, and plunger assembly, built to look good on any worktop and to last considerably longer than a budget cafetière.
The Laura's stainless-steel plunger and filter assembly presses smoothly and cleanly, and the secure-fit polished lid keeps heat in during the steep. It also works equally well for brewing loose-leaf tea, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen.

Coffee & Tea Preparation
The Cilio Laura French Press uses the traditional immersion brewing method, allowing ground coffee to steep directly in hot water before the stainless steel filter is pressed down to separate the grounds.
- Use coarsely ground coffee for best results.
- Add hot water and allow the coffee to steep according to your preferred strength.
- A brewing time of approximately 4–6 minutes is a useful starting point.
- Slowly press the filter down to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee.
- Also suitable for preparing loose-leaf tea and cold brew.
Adjust the coffee quantity and brewing time to suit your preferred flavour and strength.
