For coffee lovers, there’s something timeless about a cafetière. No pods, no complicated settings, no noisy machines — just rich, full-bodied coffee brewed the traditional way. Whether you call it a cafetière or a French press, this classic brewing method continues to be a favourite in homes, cafés, guest houses and hospitality settings across the UK.
At Chef - Hub we’ve curated a practical and stylish collection of stainless steel cafetières designed for both everyday coffee drinkers and professional hospitality environments. Explore the full collection here: Cafetière & French Press Collection
Why Choose a Cafetière?
French press coffee is loved for its simplicity and flavour. Unlike paper-filter brewing methods, a cafetière allows the natural oils from the coffee beans to remain in the cup, producing a richer and fuller taste. Coffee enthusiasts often praise the French press method for creating a more aromatic and robust brew.
Another major advantage is control. You choose the coffee, grind size, strength and brewing time, giving you a personalised coffee experience every time.
A cafetière is also:
- Easy to use
- Energy efficient
- Ideal for serving multiple cups
- Perfect for homes, hotels, holiday lets and breakfast service
- Simple to clean and maintain
Discover Our Stainless Steel Cafetières
Our collection focuses on durable stainless steel designs that combine practicality with modern style. Unlike traditional glass presses, stainless steel cafetières are more resistant to breakages, making them especially suitable for busy kitchens and hospitality environments.

1200ml Cafetières – Designed for Entertaining
For larger groups, meetings or busy breakfast services, our 1200ml cafetières provide generous capacity without sacrificing style.
Available in:
- Satin finish
- Polished finish
The larger size makes them ideal for entertaining guests or serving multiple coffees at once while maintaining the smooth, rich flavour French press brewing is known for.
Satin vs Polished Finish – Which Should You Choose?
Both finishes offer the same reliable brewing performance, so your choice mainly comes down to style preference.
Satin Finish
A brushed stainless steel appearance that offers a modern, understated look. Satin finishes are also excellent at hiding fingerprints and everyday wear.
Polished Finish
A brighter, reflective finish that creates a more premium presentation, especially suited to table service or stylish kitchen displays.
Whichever finish you choose, you’ll benefit from durable stainless steel construction and easy maintenance.
How to Make Better Coffee with a French Press
Getting excellent coffee from a cafetière is surprisingly simple.
Here’s a quick guide:
- Use freshly ground coffee with a coarse grind
- Add coffee to the cafetière
- Pour hot water just off the boil
- Stir gently and place the lid on
- Brew for around 4 minutes
- Slowly press the plunger down
- Serve immediately
Many coffee enthusiasts recommend French press brewing because it produces a fuller-bodied cup with excellent flavour extraction.
