David Mellor Coffee Press

The David Mellor stain­less steel 8‑cup French press is a perfect union of time­less sophis­ti­ca­tion and every­day prac­ti­cal­ity. Designed by Corin Mellor, this cafetière reflects the purist design prin­ci­ples and impec­ca­ble crafts­man­ship synony­mous with the David Mellor brand. As part of an award-winning collec­tion, the French press exem­pli­fies the brand’s commit­ment to mini­mal­ist elegance and dura­bil­ity. Its sleek stain­less handle and high-polish finish ensure a visu­ally refined piece that elevates coffee rituals, while its robust construc­tion deliv­ers reliable performance.

Orig­i­nally conceived as the center­piece of the David Mellor cafetière range, the collec­tion has since expanded to include comple­men­tary table­ware, such as tea pots, sugar pots, cream­ers, toast racks, and trays. Together, these pieces bring a cohe­sive and sophis­ti­cated aesthetic to your table.

Whether for daily use or special occa­sions, this French press combines style and func­tion­al­ity, making it an endur­ing addi­tion to any modern kitchen. A true testa­ment to Corin Mellor’s design expertise.
