Erik Magnussen's classic vacuum jug is now available in an updated version with a new function. Designed for Stelton in 1977, the prize-winning jug now comes as a press coffee maker in three different finishes - steel, black or white plastic. The press coffee maker brews up to 8 cups. Its double walls and simple open/close function keep coffee hot for a long time. To serve, grasp the knob and turn the lid open; close by turning the lid back. The jug comes complete with measuring spoon and instructions for a unique taste experience with every cup.
Wash the piston in the dishwasher and clean the jug by hand.
