Simplify the Clean Up

French Presses are a popular and easy way to brew your own coffee at home without the fuss of elaborate equipment. But this beloved tool is not without it's flaws. The grounds easily get trapped in the base of the press and they are a pain to clean out.

French Press

Gateway to Great Coffee

Also called a Cafetière, French Press coffee pots are a simple way to brew your own coffee from the comfort of home. Compared to electronic coffee machines, French Presses take up little space, require low maintenance, and are a relatively inexpensive brewing system.

 

By replacing paper coffee filters with a reusable stainless steel strainer, French Presses are a more environmentally friendly alternative for pour over and drip coffee makers. They generate no waste other than the used grounds.

 

However, there is one small problem with French Presses: they are a pain to clean.

Deep Clean, Every Time

Problem Analysis

While French Presses are a great point of entry for beginning coffee aficionados, the lack of a disposable filter poses a significant barrier to cleaning and upkeep of the press. Coffee grounds are hard to remove from the press's base, and they shouldn't be washed down a garbage disposal like other food waste.

Fellow Products line of coffee-making equipment relies heavily on its visual statement. Each piece is a beautiful sculpture that feel at home on any modernist's counter-top while the subtle but intentional surfacing creates a pristine display of deeply considered craftsmanship.

A satin finish paired with a metallic highlight creates a premium look and feel that promises to deliver a cup of coffee that tastes as good as Fellow Products' line looks.

Their calling card is the combination of soft corners and the iconic branching handle form.
