The GROSCHE Zurich French Press in Black is a 1000ml / 34 fl oz (8 cup) borosilicate glass coffee maker designed for home brewers, office coffee lovers, and tea enthusiasts who want a rich, full-bodied brew without a machine.
Key Features
-
Heatproof borosilicate glass beaker — resists thermal shock, won't cloud over time, crack under heat, or transfer any unwanted flavours to your brew
-
Dual stainless steel filter system — a fine mesh inner filter plus an outer filter significantly reduces grit and sediment, delivering a noticeably cleaner cup than single-filter presses
-
Large 1000ml / 34 fl oz capacity — brews up to 8 cups in a single press, ideal for households, shared offices, or entertaining guests
-
Works with coarse ground coffee and loose leaf tea — fully immersion brewing allows grounds and leaves to infuse completely for a deep, aromatic flavour profile
-
Sleek matte black frame — durable, corrosion-resistant housing that looks sharp on any countertop and coordinates with modern kitchen aesthetics
-
Simple, no-fuss brewing — no paper filters, no electricity, no pods; just hot water, your favourite grounds, and four minutes of patience
-
Easy to disassemble and clean — all filter components separate fully for thorough rinsing or dishwasher cleaning

Why Choose the GROSCHE Zurich French Press?
The GROSCHE Zurich stands out among black French press coffee makers by pairing genuine borosilicate glass — the same heat-resistant material used in laboratory glassware — with a dual-layer filter system that most competitors at this price point simply don't offer. GROSCHE is a certified social enterprise, meaning every purchase contributes to safe drinking water projects globally, so your morning brew does more than taste good. At $42.50, the Zurich delivers premium materials, thoughtful design, and a meaningful brand purpose that budget presses can't match.
Frequently Asked Questions
What grind size should I use with the GROSCHE Zurich French Press?
Use a coarse grind for best results. Fine or medium grinds can pass through the mesh filter and leave sediment in your cup. A coarse, chunky grind allows the dual filter to work effectively and produces a clean, grit-free brew.
Can I use the GROSCHE Zurich French Press for tea?
Yes. The Zurich works excellently with loose leaf tea. Simply add your tea leaves, pour hot water at the appropriate temperature for your tea type, steep for the recommended time, then press and pour. No infuser basket required.
Is the 1000ml French press too large for one person?
Not necessarily. The Zurich can brew smaller quantities — simply scale your coffee and water ratio down proportionally. However, if you primarily brew single cups, GROSCHE also offers smaller French press sizes that may better suit a solo brewer.
Is the borosilicate glass beaker replaceable if it breaks?
Yes. GROSCHE replacement beakers are available separately, which means a cracked glass doesn't mean replacing the entire press. This makes the Zurich a longer-lasting, more sustainable investment compared to presses where parts aren't sold individually.
