What is this charity shop find?

[Crissy83]

They called it a coffee pod holder. I’m not sure it is!! Expected to come home, do an image search and find that it’s a designer item worth 1000s. But google is giving me nowt!

Is the bottom of the insert concave or convex from the top?

I mean, just about anything could be a coffee pod holder! But this obviously wasn't made for that specific purpose. Sort of looks like a caffetiere gone wrong. In fact it looks like the glass jar bit and the metal insert bit don't really belong together.

It looks like you could use it for storing cotton wool balls. 😁

isnt it a cafetiere/ french press?

Makes me think of a Horlicks mixer.
We used to use one of these to make bedtime drinks for hospital patients back in the 1970s. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175967193592?chn=ps&_ul=GB&google_free_listing_action=view_item

Maybe there’s no poury bit!! Cotton wool would work!

That's the first thing I thought of but there are no holes in the plunger. I had a horlicks mixer until a few years ago when it got broken.

A punch bowl with ladle in?

Someone has posted the answer above

It's a coffee pod holder. So that you don't need to reach into the glass when the pods get low you can pull them up towards you.

That's a helluva lot of money for what is a glass jar and a bit of metal.
