Description
Timemore U French Press in black, a 450ml borosilicate press built for coffee or tea. It's a small, no-nonsense brewer that fits on any counter.
Overview
Timemore designed the U French Press to strip the format down to what actually matters: a tight filter, a durable glass body, and a spout that doesn't dribble down the side. At 450ml it's sized for one to two people, and it switches just as easily between coffee and loose-leaf tea.
Key features
- 0.35mm mesh filter: high-density stainless steel mesh catches fine grounds other presses let through.
- V-shaped spout: pours clean without dripping down the side of the carafe.
- Borosilicate glass body: heat-resistant, won't crack from a hot pour.
- Food-grade silicone and stainless steel plunger: built to hold up to daily use.
- Dual-purpose brewing: works for coffee and tea equally well.
How to use
Add your coarse coffee grounds, pour hot water, and let it steep for about 4 minutes. Press the plunger down slowly and pour right away, since the grounds keep steeping once the plunger's down. For tea, swap the ratio and steep time to suit your leaves.

Why we love it
The mesh is genuinely finer than most French press filters we've used, so you get less sediment sitting at the bottom of the cup. It's compact enough to travel with too, if you're the type who can't function without a proper brew away from home.
