Operating & Service Notice
For optimal extraction and flavour clarity, always use coarse, freshly ground coffee beans rather than fine espresso grounds to prevent grounds slipping through the mesh or creating excessive plunge resistance. Preheat the glass beaker with warm water before adding coffee grounds and pouring off-the-boil water (around 92°C to 96°C). Allow the coffee to brew for approximately 3 to 4 minutes before gently and steadily depressing the stainless steel plunger rod; never force the plunger down if you encounter resistance. Disassemble the mesh, rod, and beaker after service, rinse clear of grounds, and clean using commercial glasswasher or dishwasher cycles.
Freight & Delivery Notice
Standard commercial courier delivery is available Australia-wide. Orders are securely packed with protective shock-absorbent cushioning to protect glass components during transit. Bulk carton quantities are available for hotel fit-outs, restaurant openings, and commercial catering hire companies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many standard serves does the 350ml capacity provide?
The 350ml capacity is rated at 3 standard traditional European-style coffee cups (approx. 115ml each), or 1 to 2 generous Australian cafe-sized mugs. It is the industry-standard size for individual table service, couples, and hotel room service trays.
What grind size should be used with the Olympia GF230?
A coarse grind is recommended for all manual coffee plungers. Fine or espresso-style grinds will pass through the stainless steel mesh filter, leaving fine silt in the bottom of the cup, and can also generate excessive hydraulic resistance that makes plunging difficult.
Are spare glass beakers and replacement mesh filters available?
Yes. Olympia provides readily available replacement glass inners and replacement mesh discs. If a beaker accidentally chips or cracks during a busy washup cycle, operators can replace the glass insert directly without having to discard the entire stainless steel frame and plunger.
Is the Olympia GF230 dishwasher safe?
Yes. Both the borosilicate glass beaker and the stainless steel plunger assembly are safe for use in commercial dishwashers and glasswashers. For long-term clarity, rinse loose grounds down a waste strainer before washing and ensure parts are dried properly.
Can this plunger also be used for loose-leaf tea?
Yes. The fine stainless steel mesh filter is suitable for brewing whole-leaf black, green, herbal, and fruit teas. It allows tea leaves to expand fully in hot water for optimal flavour extraction while holding them firmly at the bottom when poured.
