Product Description

Amazon.com Review
By using high-quality 18/10 stainless steel for this French press, Frieling has smartly sidestepped the problem of breakable glass carafes. At the same time, the pot is beautiful, sleek, and sturdy, with a mirror finish and a self-contained design. Plus, with no filters or power cords to mess with, you can brew and serve right at the table. The full-length handle is both comfortable and stable, while the all-steel mesh plunger mechanism can be used with coarse coffee grounds or loose tea leaves. Frieling's double-wall construction keeps hot beverages hot and cold ones cold if you use the pitcher by itself for milk or juice. All parts disassemble to wash by hand or go in the dishwasher. The press holds 33 ounces and stands 9 inches high. --Emily Bedard

 Good Quality, well built. March 7, 2010

I have had this press for three years and have probably made 200-300 pots of coffee and as many cycles of hand or machine washes. It is still in perfect condition with no signs of wear. I started using French presses for making my coffee after reading lots of reviews on the quality and taste differences people experienced with them. I can say that I am not a coffee snob, but I DO believe that presses seem to make any coffee taste a little better and richer. After reading articles on the increased levels of cholesterol found in people who drink non-filtered coffee I found a simple solution by putting a paper basket filter on the plunger before I brew my coffee. I put 5 rounded tablespoons of medium ground coffee in the press, pour in water just off of boil from an electric kettle to a level just about 1/4 inch below the spout (this keeps the coffee and grounds from spurting out when you press the plunger down) and stir for a few seconds, wait 3 1/2 minutes and press the plunger down (the plunger can be quite a bit harder to push down with the paper filter on, but I feel it is worth the effort) and enjoy pretty good coffee. The press seems to make just under four normal size cups of coffee.

I bought this press as an open-box deal from Amazon. No scratches, no problems. I saw some reviews that complained about handles breaking off and the press itself having problems, but I can't imagine how those people managed to break this thing. It's very sturdy and solid. It keeps the coffee plenty hot too, even without preheating the container.
No problems with coffee grounds getting through the fine mesh strainer part, no problems with the top breaking, no problems with the handle. Haven't even had any spills happen, cos I don't just slam the top down and let the hot coffee shoot all over (some people are just stupid I guess.)
Somewhat expensive item even for the open box price, but I expect this will last a lifetime when not abused.
If I had any complaint at all, it would be that the mirror-finish on the outside takes hand-polishing to clean up. I might've prefered brushed metal. But, it's pretty :)
I own all models, and this one is the king March 2, 2010

You're sitting there thinking "Man, that is a lot of money to spend on a French Press; the Bodum ones are 1/3 the price!" You'd be right in your thinking, and that's exactly what I thought. I own two sizes of the Bodum Chambord, two sizes of the Bodum Brazil and the 34oz Bodum Kenya. All make for great french press coffee; they're easy to clean, they're inexpensive, and especially with the Brazil and Kenya, the chances of breaking the beaker are slim. So why, WHY would you spend many times more money on the Frieling model? Because it's many times better quality; that's why. This French press just oozes quality craftsmanship. It has a heft to it that is unmatched by anything from Bodum, let alone any other manufacturer. The mesh on this french press is also finer than on any Bodum model meaning that the coffee/sludge ratio is much higher. Plus, and this is the most important quality, The Frieling is made of insulated stainless steel. That means that while your coffee is steeping, that perfect temperature water that you poured in is still at that perfect temperature water while the oils are being extracted. With glass models, they lose heat easily and thus can end up with lesser quality flavor due to extraction of the beans at too low of a water temperature. I have all of these models aforementioned on my counter top and the 35oz Frieling is the only model I use now. I only use the Bodum models if I have guests and need to serve many different kinds of coffee at once. Otherwise, this is king. It is the best that money can buy and when coupled with a Emsa Eleganza thermal carafe for storing your fresh brew in, it is a thing of beauty where form and function are both at the top of the charts.

Wow I've had this press now for about a week, and I LOVE it! I was using a 32oz bodum stainless steel French press with a plastic plunger that I've had for years. The taste of the brew out of this Frieling is pure java now no bitterness. I didn't realize how the much better the coffee is with the all stainless steel construction. I would have given this thing a five star but i think the handle could be a little thicker for easier puring, and i wish it wasn't made in china. All in all it's great. Built well enough to last for a life time.
