Over the years, I was never really a major coffee connoisseur, simply preferring my instant coffee in the office and at home. But last year, my kids bought this for me as a present, and all that changed and opened up a whole new world of coffee to me. At first, having never used one before, I decided to do a little research on the web to see what it was about. Interestingly, this La Cafetiere Chrome Coffee Maker comes in a variety of capacities. This 3 cup version seems to be the smallest of the set and is classed as being 'ideal for 2 sharing' in the morning, or to have a couple of cups on the go in the office. Beyond this, the range expands into a 4, 8 ...  Read the complete review

I own the twelve-cup La Cafetiere Chrome Coffee Maker, and have always found it to be extremely reliable as well as being very stylish. However, as I rarely have cause to use a cafetiere with such a capacity, I most often use its three-cup counterpart. Although this product is advertised as having a three-cup capacity, it will only serve three small cups of coffee. Thus, I would not recommend you purchase this model if you are looking for a cafetiere that will cater for three coffee lovers simultaneously. When I am working on a project and need a little pick-me-up I frequently fill the cafetiere for my own use, and can get two mugs of coffee out of it. It ...  Read the complete review

This product was purchased for me as a gift so I am not sure what the exact cost was. You can get similar cafetieres for £10-£25 depending on what you want to pay; they are available from department stores and also online retailers such as amazon. Design: This cafetiere is the classic plunger style coffee maker. It has a chrome lid and outer rim that holds the glass beaker. It is an attractive little thing so you won't be ashamed of having it in your kitchen. All cafetieres are very much alike but I do prefer the look of the metal ones rather than the plastic ones. It is down to personal preference of course but the metal cafetieres look sleeker and ...  Read the complete review

With a traditional design featuring shiny chrome details, the La Cafetiere Coffee Maker is a pretty looking bit o' kit. This particular version is the three cup variety which has a current retail price of £22.96 from amazon.co.uk. To be honest, I feel that the price is a little steep, as the Debenhams version (which is very similar, or even identical) costs around £10 less. Design / Specification - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The cafetiere's handle is constructed from a sturdy black plastic, which although thin, is nevertheless comfortable to use. The jug capacity is 350ml (12fl oz), and it's made from toughened borosilicate glass. This means that it's ...  Read the complete review

Costs etc... I paid £10 for this little 3 cup cafetiere in Waitrose. Being part of the John Lewis group, i also notice it is available there, so i guess they are the main suppliers. The look... Mine isn't chrome, it is black plastic lid, 3 cup glass jug and a black handle. I seem to remember that the black version is slightly cheaper than the chrome one. I opted for black as i think chrome is notoriously difficult to maintain. It gets those smudge marks that are a nightmare to shift. My little black cafetiere is very attractive. It looks smart. I only wash it in the sink, not a dishwasher. A quick swish and it is mostly ...  Read the complete review
