Chef'sChoice®-International, French Press-Plus® #695: This new French Press, electric - yet cordless, insures perfect control of brewing temperature for better than ever flavor and aroma of coffee and tea. "Boil & Press" feature boils water in same carafe subsequently used to brew the coffee or tea. New solid state heating element boils water faster than the stove or microwave and eliminates the cool-down that occurs with other French presses when boiling-water is transferred to the cold carafe. Hence brewing occurs at optimum temperature for full flavor extraction. Automatically shuts off power when water reaches a full boil; incorporates double boil-dry safety shutoff protection. Comes with extra lid for use as a hot pot. Take-to-table carafe lifts cord-free from power source for elegant serving. Safe "Lid Lock" system for easy pouring. Heat resistant glass. Easy clean stainless steel filters. No exposed coils. Convenient "on-off" switch on cool-grip handle. Cord storage in base. 1500W. One-year limited warranty.

This device boils a quart of water in just four minutes--faster than a stovetop kettle or microwave oven. Add ground coffee or tea leaves and insert the screen assembly, and it becomes a French press for making full-flavored coffee or tea. This eliminates a step--pouring boiling water and losing heat while doing so--from the usual method of preparing French press coffee or tea. The glass carafe lifts free of the power base to become a cordless server for the dining table. Designed with care, the device is durable (stainless-steel press assembly, rugged plastic) and thoughtfully engineered (steam-activated automatic shutoff when water boils, knuckle guard on carafe, cord wrap beneath base). It stands 11 inches high and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
