The original French press. Still the best.

In 1967 La Cafetière created the first French press style coffee maker — and have spent the decades since refining what that original idea could be. Based in Corby, Nottinghamshire, they make cafetieres, stovetop espresso makers, teapots, grinders and everything else you need to brew coffee and tea the way it deserves to be brewed. Built to last rather than be replaced. Designed to sit on the kitchen counter and earn its place there every single morning.

La Cafetière doesn't chase trends — they make things that work beautifully and last properly. Classic designs that have become genuinely iconic, alongside thoughtful innovations that improve the ritual without complicating it. For anyone who takes their morning brew seriously, which is to say everyone who's tried one of these.
