Hario Cafe Press U French Press 600 ml – Black

Hario Cafe Press U – 600 ml French press for multiple cups

The Hario Cafe Press U is a 600 ml French press that combines Hario's heat-resistant glass with a simple plunger system and a stainless steel filter.

Hario rates this size for 4 cups, making it suitable when you want more capacity than the smaller 300 ml model, but don't need a large 1-liter French press.

Heat-resistant HARIO glass

The carafe is made of heat-resistant HARIO glass, so you can watch the coffee throughout the brewing process.

The lid, knob, and holder are made of polypropylene, while the shaft and filter are made of stainless steel.

The Cafe Press U is manufactured in Japan.

Wide 90 mm opening

The carafe features an opening of 90 mm.

The wide diameter makes it easier to access for cleaning and also provides good stability when the plunger is pressed down.

The large handle is designed to provide a secure and stable grip when serving coffee.

600 ml – between the small and large French press

With a practical capacity of 600 ml, this model sits between compact French presses of around 300-350 ml and larger models of around 1 liter.

Hario rates the capacity as 4 cups. The actual number naturally depends on the size of the portions you serve.

If you primarily brew smaller portions, the Cafe Press U is also available in a 300 ml model. You can compare sizes and models in our entire selection of French presses.

Metal filter provides a full-bodied coffee

The Cafe Press U uses a stainless steel filter.

Unlike a paper filter, the metal filter allows more of the coffee's natural oils to pass into the cup. This helps give French press coffee its characteristic full-bodied mouthfeel and makes this brewing method suitable when you want to experience the coffee's body and flavor profile clearly.

At the same time, there is no need for separate paper filters.

How much coffee should you use for 600 ml?

At Brændeholm Risteri, we recommend 60 grams of coffee per liter of water as a good starting point.

For 600 ml, this corresponds to approximately:

36 grams of coffee for 600 ml of water

Grind the coffee medium-coarse to coarse, and then adjust the grind level based on the coffee you are brewing and your personal taste.
