Timemore French Press
A 450ml cafetière built for travel. Heat-resistant borosilicate glass slotted into a protective sleeve, fine stainless steel filter, no separate handle. Compact enough to live in a kit bag, robust enough to actually use on the move.
Why this French press
Most French presses break the moment they fall off a kitchen counter. The Timemore sits the glass body inside a protective sleeve, which acts as both insulation and shock absorber. No handle to snap, no exposed glass to crack, less faff in a pack.
How to brew with a French press
- Add 25 to 30g of coarse-ground coffee to the press.
- Pour 400ml of hot water (93 to 96°C) over the grounds.
- Stir gently. Place the lid on with the plunger up.
- Wait 4 minutes.
- Press the plunger down slowly. Pour and drink.
What grind to use
Coarse. Finer grinds slip through the mesh and end up as sediment in the cup. Our ground coffee is ground for cafetière, so it works straight out of the bag.

Best coffee for a French press
The mesh filter lets the oils through, which means a fuller body than a paper filter brew. Works well with darker, chocolatey blends.
- Battle Prep: Brazil and Latin America blend, balanced and chocolatey. The default daily driver.
- After Hours: higher Robusta content, intense and nutty, for early starts or long shifts.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
