Coffee Press w/ CoffeeCatcher™
How do I use the Jacob Jensen Coffee Press?
Remove the plunger with the lid. Add ground coffee and pour in hot water. Align the filter hole with the CoffeeCatcher™ rod and gently press the plunger down. Let it steep for about 4 minutes, then press down fully and enjoy.
How long should I let the coffee steep?
We recommend about 4 minutes. However, the steep time may vary depending on the coffee type and your personal taste. You can experiment to find your preferred brew.
What is the CoffeeCatcher™ and how do I use it?
The CoffeeCatcher™ is a unique feature that makes cleanup easy. After pouring out the last coffee, remove the plunger, pull out the CoffeeCatcher™ using the ribbed end of the rod, and dispose of the compressed grounds. Rinse and the press is ready for another brew.
Does the Coffee Press keep coffee warm?
Yes, the jug is made of double-walled glass, which has an insulating effect. It keeps coffee warm while ensuring the body is safe to touch.
Can I recycle the coffee grounds?
Yes, used coffee grounds can be recycled, for example, as plant fertilizer or for composting.

Electric Kettle
Does it have a keep-warm function?
Yes, it keeps water warm for up to 30 minutes (not at 100°C).

This is limescale, a natural result of boiling water. It can be removed by regular descaling with vinegar and water or a descaling solution.
My kettle lid feels stiff – is that normal?
Yes, the lid is designed to fit tightly for safety. If it becomes difficult to open, clean the rim and hinge area to remove limescale or residue.
How do I descale it?
Use a descaling solution or vinegar-water mix, then rinse thoroughly.

The frequency depends on your local water hardness. In hard-water areas, descaling once a month is recommended.
