Ky hm: This was the first French Press I have purchased. Should have bought a long time ago. It is pretty easy to clean and if care is taken in the press, few if any grounds make it into the cup. Great for getting bolder flavors. Good price for all stainless.

Busy Executive: I'm a coffee fanatic, and most of what I drink is either from an espresso maker or a French Press.

For years, I've used a fairly simple Bodum glass French press, but after many years of faithful service, the plastic parts finally gave out. The one feature I never liked about the Bodum was that the glass isn't a particularly good insulator, so the hot water you brew into coffee tends to cool very quickly. In fact, water I pour in at 195 degrees tends to cool down to 180 by the time the brewing is finished.

With that in mind, I shopped for a new French press, and this one from Frieling caught my eye. Yes, it was much more expensive than buying another Bodum, but I liked the idea of the double-wall construction, the dual screen filters and the fact that it's entirely metal with no plastic parts.

For the most part, it delivers as advertised. Despite being "made in China", the fit and finish are very good. All the parts fit well, it comes apart easily and it's even relatively simple to clean. I have the 44 ounce version, and it's exactly my preferred size. I suspect if you had an induction or electric cooktop, it could even be heated right on the...

Sonja: This is beautifully made with no sharp edges and no plastic. Keeps coffee at a good temperature for around 30 minutes. Handle design is lovely with a thumb rest with my arthritic hand appreciate. Pours nicely. Easy enough to disassemble /clean/ reassemble. My only complaint is that it is sold as a 17OZ (500ml) pot but by the time you allow room for the coffee grounds and space for the plunger it only makes around 400ml of coffee.

V. Berube: I was looking to replace an old 1L stainless steel French press with the best one I could find with more capacity. I ended trying to decide between a SterlingPro 1.75L and the largest Frieling (~1.33L) so I ordered both to compare.

I received the SterlingPro first and I was immediately surprised with how light it was for its size. Its walls seemed oddly tinny in a way that it would get dented easily. The bottom of the press didn't seem double walled or barely so. Overall cheap build but maybe fine for some considering the price. I didn't put them on a scale but I'm guessing my old 1L press weighed about the same as this 1.75L Sterling.

When I received the Frieling I immediately knew I would be returning the Sterling. Look the Sterling is half the price so obviously you would hope for a bump in quality but I was really surprised in the difference. The Frieling is built like a tank, it feels twice as heavy for less capacity, the walls are twice as thick vs the Sterling and the brushed finish was significantly nicer. While I wasn't super confident that the push handle on the Sterling was stainless steel, there was no doubt that Frieling push handle was real...

rebecca: Update: I fiddled with it and the press can be unscrewed to be washed properly. Put it in the manual man..

For something priced at a premium, the design is not fantastic. I've been using it for about 2 weeks, and every few days, I would discover new spots where coffee grounds are hiding. Today, I spotted a coffee ground between the mesh at the side and the plate, by pulling the coil and mesh together away from the plate, and running through the tap, a ton of coffee ground washed out. This is on top of the coffee ground stuck between the flat surface of the plate and mesh, which I have to use a toothpick to pick out. Each time I wash it I feel like I'm damaging the dang thing, and I'm sure some fine particles are still stuck inside. I'm giving it 2 stars as the flask material is good, but honestly, I wouldn't have bought it if I know how hard it would be to wash.

vicm3: Muy contento con la prensa, me costo un poco de trabajo al principio entender un par de cosas como que vale la pena pre calentarla poniendo un poco de café y agua caliente y después ya llenarla para que mantenga la temperatura y el sabor de mejor manera.

Por lo demás excelente construcción y material, si mantiene por un buen rato el café caliente, si la usas para una sola persona salen 3 tasas y media de >300ml lo cual está muy bien para tener buen café un rato, para casa o compartir puede no ser tan práctico, por supuesto este tamaño es el común en casa si usas tasas para espreso seguro son muchas mas

Otro detalle que no entendí hasta re leer las instrucciones para medir el agua, ya que estaba acostumbrado a una prensa de vidrio es que se llena de agua justo hasta donde empieza el pico de servir, lo cual es la marca exacta, leyendo con atención las instrucciones se logra usar muy rápido y obtener muy buen café.

Willy1950: Ordered this after a Bodum Kenya I ordered broke in the sink before I had a chance to use it. That's it for Bodum thin glass carafes ...

This item is double walled, even the lid. Build quality is first rate restaurant quality. There are two strainer filters, hemmed around the outside edge. The strainer assembly fits snugly into the carafe by design so take your time and support everything as you fit the lid and slowly plunge the coffee, it will be worth it.

I am using this alternating with an aeropress. Both make great coffee.

Try an experiment and brew your coffee in this carafe adding 200°F water slowly like you would a pour over and after the time is up (I do a little over 3 minutes) insert the top and plunge slowly. The double walled carafe keeps everything hot so don't worry about not having the lid on right away. Use fresh roasted freshly ground medium/coarse coffee. Brewing this way produces a most excellent cup of coffee! Also recommend a pour over kettle and a slow motor grinder.

Enjoy ...

DDPartingtonDDPartington: I've been using the Frieling press for over three years and it still looks as good as the day I received it. For the most part this will brew very good coffee, assuming there are not any user malfunctions; in the last few years I've forgotten to get the coffee out of the press two, maybe three times with noticeable results.

My normal morning routine is to heat up tap water in the microwave in a 16 ounce Pyrex measure for 4.5 minutes, which typically gets the water in between 195 and 200 degrees, I usually check this with a TruTemp digital cooking thermometer (from a local store/grocery). While the water is heating I grind the coffee beans with a manual Hario Coffee Mill Burr Grinder; there isn't really a setting for this, just an adjustment to the grinders which I've adjusted with use to get it where I prefer. Typically I will preheat the press with warm tap water, pouring it out just before adding the coffee and then the hot water. After adding the water, waiting 15 to 20 seconds, I then stir the mixture to remove the developed gases and then cover and let sit for an additional 4.5 minutes. Total brew time is approximately 5 minutes, but I like strong coffee, I've also...
