The Degono Cafetiere, also known as The Degono Coffee Press, is a cafeitere, isn't it? Well, it is, but then again – it isn't ;-). Confused? You will be!
Just kidding, I'm simple, so I'll keep this review very simple. The Degono Coffee Press is a new kind of cafetiere, designed and manufactured here in the UK (British Press? Maybe doesn't have quite the same ring to it) which has been created to eliminate the usual cons of using a cafetiere.
You more than likely don't need me to tell you what the cons of using a cafetiere are, most people are very aware of them.
The main pro for the humble cafetiere, is that it's one of the easiest brewers, with the least amount of fuss possible, and this is why most of us over the age of 40 will have grown up with a cafetiere in the kitchen, and if you're anything like me, the cafetiere would have been brought out on special occasions, with the good old jar of instant being the daily driver ;-).
The main cons of using cafetieres, though, and probably the reason they're such an under used and underrated brewer these days, are:
Bits of ground coffee in your gob
Coffee continues to extract after brewing
Sloppy, messy cleanup
While other manual brewers have done very well in the speciality coffee world, namely pourover brewers, I think the reason Aeropress was such an mainstream hit, is that it was seen as similar to cafetiere which many people are familiar with, but it fixes all three of these issues.
Although masses of people now own an Aeropress, there are still huge numbers of people who prefer to stick to cafetiere, as they're not sold on the likes of Aeropress or any other “new fangled” coffee brewers.
So what if this is you, you just find the cafetiere to be a very easy, simple brew method, it suits you perfectly – but you come across a Cafetiere which fixes these issues for you, would you buy it?
Well, there is one, it does all of the above, and better still – it's a UK invention, and it's made in the UK, which is something you don't see very often these days!
