Vialli Design Livio French Press 1 L – black/gold

Brew aromatic French press coffee with the Vialli Design Livio French Press 1 L in black and gold. The carafe combines a spacious glass pot with modern black and gold-colored details, giving it an elegant look on both the coffee table and the breakfast table.

With a capacity of 1,000 ml, the Livio is suitable for brewing several cups of coffee at once. It can also be used for loose-leaf tea and herbal blends, making it a versatile brewer for everyday use.

Full-bodied coffee with a simple brewing method

A French press allows coffee and water to be in direct contact throughout the entire brewing time. When the plunger is pressed down, the coffee grounds are separated from the finished brew.

The reusable metal filter retains most of the coffee grounds but allows more of the coffee's natural oils to pass through than a standard paper filter. This typically produces a coffee with:

• A full-bodied mouthfeel

• Distinct aroma

• More texture

• Intense and rounded flavor

A small amount of fine sediment may appear in the cup. This is normal when brewing with a French press and a metal filter.

1-liter capacity

The Livio holds up to 1,000 ml and provides space for a larger portion of coffee. The actual amount of finished coffee will be slightly less, as space must also be allowed for the ground coffee and the plunger.

The carafe is suitable for:

• Coffee for several people

• A larger morning brew

• Serving guests

• Loose-leaf tea and herbal blends

• Cold brew coffee

The precise amount depends on the size of your coffee cups and the chosen recipe.

Borosilicate glass carafe

The carafe is made of borosilicate glass, which is suitable for hot drinks and has good resistance to temperature changes.

The transparent glass makes it easy to monitor the brewing process and assess the color of the coffee. The black frame and gold-colored details add a decorative touch without hiding the contents of the carafe.

Nevertheless, avoid very sudden and extreme temperature changes, and always check the glass for cracks or damage before use.

Stainless steel filter

The plunger has a fine-mesh stainless steel filter that separates the coffee grounds or tea leaves from the finished drink.

The filter is reusable and does not require paper filters. After brewing, it can be rinsed and cleaned so it is ready for the next use.

How to brew coffee in the Livio French press

1. Preheat the carafe with hot water if desired.

2. Add coarsely ground coffee.

3. Pour hot water evenly over the coffee.

4. Stir gently to ensure the entire coffee bed is moistened.

5. Place the lid on without pressing the plunger down.

6. Let the coffee steep for approximately four minutes.

7. Press the plunger down slowly and in a controlled manner.

8. Serve the coffee immediately after brewing.

A good starting point is approximately 60 grams of coffee per liter of water. You can adjust the coffee amount, steeping time, and grind size according to your desired strength.

Use a coarse grind. Coffee that is ground too finely can make the plunger difficult to press down and result in more sediment in the cup.

Can also be used for tea

The Livio can be used for loose-leaf tea and herbal blends. Add the tea directly into the carafe, pour water over it, and let it steep according to the recommended time for the chosen tea type.

Once the tea has finished steeping, press the plunger down slowly. Feel free to serve the drink immediately so the leaves do not continue to release flavor and make the tea too strong.

Cleaning and maintenance

The Vialli Design Livio is not dishwasher safe. Carefully disassemble the plunger and filter parts as needed, and wash the carafe by hand with lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge.

Rinse the metal filter thoroughly from both sides so that coffee grounds and oils do not dry and get stuck in the mesh. Avoid scouring pads and abrasive cleaning agents, as they can scratch the glass or damage the decorative surfaces.

Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling the French press.

Frequently asked questions

The French press has a maximum capacity of 1,000 ml. The amount of finished coffee will be slightly less, as space must also be allowed for the coffee grounds and the plunger.

How many cups does 1 liter correspond to?

It depends on the cup size. A brew of approximately 1 liter typically corresponds to about four standard coffee mugs or several smaller cups.

Which grind size should be used?

Use coarsely ground coffee. A fine grind can make the plunger difficult to press down and lead to more coffee grounds in the finished drink.

A good starting point is approximately 60 grams of coffee to 1 liter of water. Adjust the amount according to the coffee type and the desired strength.

How long should the coffee steep?

Start with approximately four minutes. The steeping time can be adjusted, but a longer time can result in a stronger and more bitter coffee.

Yes. The Livio can also be used for loose-leaf tea and herbal blends. Adjust the water temperature and steeping time to the chosen tea type.

Is the French press dishwasher safe?

No. The carafe, lid, and plunger should be washed carefully by hand to protect the glass and the decorative surfaces.
