Le Creuset – Stoneware Coffee Press, 1L

With this model, matte black extends to the full press (although it’s also available in Le Creuset’s other signature shades, including a dramatic volcanic orange). The stoneware brand is known for its hardwearing and practical, yet eternally fashionable kitchenware. Its density ensures the coffee is kept evenly hot for longer and has a thermal resistance (so your table won’t get scorched). It can be used in the oven or dishwasher too, with no worries about fading, chipping or scratching.
