Scandinavian design has it sussed when it comes to the ultimate cafetiere. Menu's latest coffee brewer is a must for stylish gift lists.

Most cafetieres are made of glass and stainless steel. Designer Pernille Vea explains that it is complicated to produce a well-functioning cafetiere in bone china. If the cafetiere principle is to work optimally, it requires a perfectly cylindrical pot, which hasn’t been possible with porcelain until now. Pernille Vea and Menu have changed alll that by designing a porcelain cafetiere in which it is possible to brew a perfect cup of coffee.

“I have selected delicate porcelain and functional silicone, giving the cafetiere a modern design look with a spring green lid and a knob formed like a coffee bean. The silicone wrap on the base provides insulation, so that you can place the cafetiere on the table without a trivet,” says Pernille Vea.

This uber-cool cafetiere holds up to a litre and retails at £64.95. It also comes with a matchin teapot with a built-in infuser. To find out more, go to menu.as or panik-design.com.
