Introducing the Le Creuset Stoneware French Press in vibrant Cerise — a 34-ounce (1 liter) coffee press that combines the iconic craftsmanship of Le Creuset with the simple pleasure of a perfectly brewed cup. Made from premium stoneware, this press delivers exceptional heat retention, keeping your coffee hot and flavorful long after serving. Whether you're a devoted home barista or just starting to explore manual brewing, this French press is built to make every morning better.
Unlike glass presses that cool quickly or risk shattering, the Le Creuset Stoneware French Press is crafted from dense, premium stoneware that naturally holds heat. The glossy, nonporous glaze is not only beautiful but also resistant to chips, cracks, scratches, and stains. It’s safe in the freezer, oven, microwave, broiler, and dishwasher, and even allows metal utensils without worry. This is a French press that moves effortlessly from brewing to serving, and from morning coffee to casual dinner entertaining.
For a balanced cup, use a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio. In the 34 oz press that means about 7 heaping tablespoons of coarse-ground coffee to 32 oz of water. Adjust to taste: use slightly more for a stronger brew or less for a lighter cup. The stoneware’s heat retention means your coffee stays warm in the press without turning bitter, so you can linger over the table.
Grind size makes or breaks a French press. For this stoneware press, always choose a coarse, even grind — pieces about the size of coarse salt. Fine grounds slip through the mesh and turn your coffee cloudy and bitter. If you grind at home, set your grinder to the coarsest setting or pulse in short bursts for consistency. The result is a smooth, sediment-free cup every time.
While it’s a coffee champion, the Le Creuset French Press also steeps loose-leaf tea beautifully. Add tea leaves, pour hot water, and press after 3–5 minutes depending on your desired strength. The nonporous glaze never absorbs flavors, so you can switch between coffee and tea without cross-tasting.
The 34-ounce (1 liter) capacity fills about 3–4 regular mugs, making it ideal for couples, small families, or solo drinkers who like a second refill. It’s also a great size for serving guests after a dinner party. The stoneware build adds a substantial, premium feel and is available in the signature Cerise cherry-red glaze that brightens any counter.
The Le Creuset Stoneware French Press is dishwasher-safe for effortless cleanup. The glazed surface releases coffee oils and tannins quickly, so a quick rinse usually does the job. For stubborn stains, a soft sponge and mild detergent work wonders. Avoid placing a cold press directly onto a hot stove or under the broiler preheat — like all stoneware, it appreciates gentle temperature changes.
Each press includes the stoneware carafe, a stainless-steel mesh plunger assembly, and the signature Le Creuset lid. The mesh is fine enough to filter grounds cleanly but durable enough for metal utensils and daily use. It’s the ideal addition to any kitchen that values form, function, and decades of reliable service.

There’s a reason the French press remains a favorite among coffee lovers: it gives you full control over flavor with minimal equipment. The Le Creuset Stoneware French Press makes that experience even better by holding heat steady from the first pour to the last sip. Whether you’re brewing a single cup or a full carafe, these tips help you get the most from your press.
Use one to two tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee per 6 oz of water. For a 34 oz press, that’s roughly 7–8 tablespoons. A kitchen scale gives the most consistent results: aim for 55–65 grams of coffee for 1 liter of water. Adjust based on your preferred strength.
Boiling water is a common enemy of French press coffee. Let water rest 30–45 seconds after boiling or heat it to 195–205°F. The stoneware plays a big role here: it absorbs excess heat, so your coffee won’t scorch even if you’re slightly off target.
Set a timer for 4 minutes. A longer steep extracts more bitterness; a shorter steep tastes weak. After pressing, pour all the coffee into mugs or a thermal carafe if you’re not drinking it right away. Leaving it on the grounds can cause over-extraction and a metallic taste.
Glass presses are common because they’re cheap and let you watch the brew. But glass loses heat quickly, so your coffee cools faster and the brew temperature drops below optimal extraction range. Stoneware holds heat tenaciously, keeping water at the right temperature throughout the steep and keeping your finished pot warm for a second cup. It’s also far more durable—no worries about accidental shattering.
While coffee is its main job, the Le Creuset stoneware press doubles as a stylish server for hot or iced tea, a frother for milk, or even a small salad tosser. The wide, comfortable handle and durable glazed exterior make it a piece you’ll reach for daily. And with the iconic Cerise color, it’s a centerpiece worth showing off.

Add coarsely ground coffee (about 7 tablespoons for a full 34 oz press), pour hot water (195–205°F), stir, steep for 4 minutes, then press the plunger down slowly. Pour immediately for the best flavor.
Use a coarse grind, similar to sea salt or coarse breadcrumbs. Fine grounds will pass through the mesh and make the coffee cloudy and bitter.
For a balanced cup, use a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio. That’s about 7 heaping tablespoons of coarse-ground coffee for 32 oz of water. Adjust to taste.
Absolutely. The nonporous glaze won’t absorb flavors, so you can switch between coffee and tea. Use the same coarse-leaf ratio and steep 3–5 minutes.
Yes, the stoneware press and plunger assembly are dishwasher safe. A quick rinse may even be enough because the glazed surface releases residue easily.
Best press ever.
Coffee stays hot for hours. The red is stunning.
I've had many French presses, and this one is beautiful. It's heavy and sturdy. The plunger moves smoothly. My only issue is it's too big for just me, but for guests it's perfect. It's also easy to clean.
Love the ceramic.
I gave my old press to my daughter and bought this for myself. The coffee tastes better.
This is a quality press. The stoneware retains heat really well. The handle is ergonomic. But the lid is a bit tricky to align when assembling. Once you get it, it works perfectly. I'd recommend it.
So pretty on shelf.
I enjoy my morning coffee more now. The press is elegant and functional.
It's a lovely French press, but the filter is hard to clean. Coffee grounds get stuck in the mesh. I also think it's overpriced for what it is. It does make good coffee, though. I just wish the filter were removable.
Perfect for tea.
My granddaughter bought this for me. I use it every day.
I did a lot of research before buying this. The stoneware keeps the coffee hot much longer than glass. It's worth the extra money. The red Cerise color is gorgeous on my counter. I've had it for two months now, and it still looks brand new. Highly recommended.
