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 ... Read more

Not carried by Amazon/Kitchen
The product was and is posted on Kitchen. But Kitchen does not carry the Frieling Stainless-Steel 33-Ounce French Press. I received a notice a few days after my order that the Press was not carried by Kitchen. My credit card was charged and a few days later it was credited back. So I bought it from someone else.

Coffee and Martinis
I only had the opportunity to handle the Bodum and Starbuck's stainless steel french presses before receiving this one as a gift. Prefer the Frieling. Makes coffe just fine and keeps it relatively hot. The big selling point for me is the overall design and construction. It just feels sturdier and seems to work smoother (without leaking grounds). Plus, its perfect for mixing cocktails.

Solid craftsmanship, good result
Not counting coffee grounds and an inch of space at the top, this apparatus makes 35 oz. of coffee, or about four mugs full. (The size of your coffee mug and the amount of grounds to discount may vary, of course.) Another reviewer says "the hole in the lid for the plunger handle is not sealed," but that problem appears to have been fixed. The lid is now sealed where the plunger stem passes through, and there's no way I can see for liquids to get into the lid. Overall, this is a solid piece of work and beautiful besides. I hope to get years of service from it. I rate it four stars only because it doesn't keep the coffee hot for much longer than other coffee presses. (Yes, I do heat it up ahead of time.) If you expect to drink all your coffee within twenty minutes or so, it's fine, but it's not like a glass thermos with a vacuum seal that might keep it hot for hours. Maybe it's too much to ask, but I guess I'll have to keep on using the microwave to get the last cup or two good and hot!

I've tried them "all" and this is the best
Granted it may not be the cheapest but you are getting a quality product. The two best things/selling points I can make are the fact that it is stainless steel meaning you will never have to replace a glass carafe again. Also, the steel is well insulated meaning that if you take your time with your first cup of press coffee, you can be sure the second will stay hot for you. As a side bonus, and unlike single wall stainless French presses you may have seen, this one should hold up to some damage as a ding in the outer wall wouldn't generally show through and cause the plunger to fail to go down. The only detraction, and it's minor, is that the hole in the lid for the plunger handle is not sealed, meaning water/coffee could get into the lid and would not necessarily be easy to remove. I can understand why they didn't try to seal this hole as it would have probably been a somewhat expensive weld and this item is already not so cheap. Still, as someone who's been through literally six presses (Bodums, Alessi, Hario) I think this one beats them all. I tried to upload the little user's manual that came with this press as a PDF which might help you decide. ... Read more

By doing away with filters and cones, this 23-ounce French press from Frieling makes rich, delicious coffee in a self-contained, non-electric design. The press also smartly sidesteps the problem of breakable glass carafes with its high-quality 18/10 stainless-steel construction. At once beautiful, sleek, and sturdy, the mirror-finish piece has a satisfying weight, a comfortable full-length handle, and an all-steel mesh plunger mechanism ideal for 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. Standing 8-5/8 inches high, the press disassembles completely for washing by hand or running through the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Wow and a half.
I had the opportunity to try French-pressed coffee recently and I was sold immediately. The increased character and complexity just blows even the most carefully drip-brewed coffee right out of the water. The first time I saw a sheen of rich oil (normally removed by paper filters) shining back at me from a piping hot cup, I knew I was in for a treat. I wanted to be able have that wonderful French-press taste at work, but the glass carafe of the other models on the market prohibited the rough transport. Enter the Frieling. Holy moose. This thing is amazing. Even decaf has more character and body (which is great for me since too much caffeine just kills my stomach). It's built like a tank so it can withstand a good tumble in a backpack (just toss that ancient enamel percolater you used to take camping right out the window) and the insulated carafe keeps your perfect cup steaming hot. The carafe holds about 3 standard coffee mugs worth which I found ideal. If you're new to French press, do yourself a favor and purchase a good quality burr grinder with a "very coarse" or "French press" setting. They're expensive, but you're wasting your time if you just drop in some generic-grind supermarket grounds; you won't get the proper extraction from the beans and you'll have a lot of icky sediment. Blade grinders just don't give you a consistent grind and they tend to be a bit "dusty" which will leave you with even more sediment. I should note that sediment is a part of a French-pressed cup anyway, but the Frieling has a superfine steel mesh that removes all but the nearly microscopic grounds, which really just adds to the body of the coffee rather than anything unpleasant, and is an essential part of French-press coffee. This is a fantastic buy for anyone who takes their coffee seriously. The Frieling is also outstanding for loose tea so even if you're not a coffee fanatic you can take advantage of this high-quality piece of brewing equipment. I would also reccommend the Vacu Vin coffee saver to store your fresh ground beans so you can savor the perfect cup just about anywhere.

Best press I ever owned
If you like the press method of making coffee, I can't imagine a better one than this.

If you are not familiar with the French press method, you should be aware that coffee from a press is not nearly as "squeeky clean" as typical American drip coffee. Grounds are separated by a fine wire mesh on a plunger and a certain amount of fine grinds will ALWAYS get through. To minimize this, your coffee needs to be ground specifically for a press - a much coarser grind than for drip.

But the press is widely regarded as the best way to get all the subtle flavors out of a great coffee bean. This one is beautiful and built like a battleship - you'll never have to replace broken glass insert again. All parts are dishwasher safe.

The Frieling is also insolated but don't get the idea you can let your coffee sit in it. It is not a "thermos". It really is only enough insolation to offset the undesireable thermal conduction properties of stainless steel and keep it superior to its glass/ceramic rivals.

No matter to me. Most coffee experts will tell you to get your coffee separated from the grounds after a 4-5 minute brew or over-extraction and bitter taste can result. So my coffee goes into a pre-heated, insolated carafe as soon as it is brewed.

Because the Frieling is steel, dense, and more massive than your typical glass press, you may need to adjust your brewing procedure slightly to keep it from adversely affecting your brew temperature - ideally 190-200F. I preheat mine with some hot tap water before brewing but I have heard that you can just put boiling water in one, insert the plunger briefly, then brew using the same water which will now have dropped "into the zone".

Happy brewing.

P.S. If you are going to "do the press" I have two suggestions:

- The Baratza/Solis Maestro Plus burr grinder: It's expensive but it produces a vastly superior (consistent) grind to blade grinders.

- CoffeeBeanCorral.com : Learn to roast your own beans and the world will be your cup of coffee. ... Read more

Crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, this pitcher from Frieling cuts a sleek figure while pouring milk or cream smoothly. The gleaming exterior mirror finish has a contemporary air and contrasts subtly with the brushed interior. Frieling's solid handle construction is durable and comfortable, though its proximity to the body may take a little getting used to for large hands. At 10 ounces, the piece is generous as a creamer and shaped to double as a small frothing pitcher for café lattes. Safe in the dishwasher, it stands 3-5/8 inches high with a 2-3/4-inch diameter at the base. A coordinating sugar bowl is also available. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

With its beautifully simple construction and double-walled design, this Frieling Tea Maker adds both style and smarts to the tea table. The pot features a stainless-steel infuser basket that rests inside its stainless-steel body for use with loose tea leaves. The piece is as sturdy as it is attractive, with a satisfying weight, a full-length handle, and a convenient hoop on the leaf basket. The mirror-finish exterior creates a gleaming reflection and a handsome contrast with the brushed-finish interior. Perfect for keeping hot beverages hot, the Tea Maker’s carafe can also be used without the basket for serving cold juice or milk.

Simply put, A perfect tea pot!
The 23 oz. capacity is just right for us. The double wall construction works fantastic and if properly preheated it will deliver a very hot cup of tea more than an hour after the first one. The handle stays cool throughout the process. Construction is first rate. You will not need a napkin anymore to catch the drips after pouring becouse there are none. The large lid, which is also double wall construction, makes access to the inside easy and a breeze to clean. Becouse it is metel there's no more worriing about breaking it. The infuser is also heavey construction and has a nice ring to remove it easily from the pot. The polished finish on the outside of it gives it a very attractive apearance as well. ... Read more

A country bread with a great texture and crunchy crust. To remove any remaining flour, simply tap the basket on the counter. The only other maintenance is an occasional hand washing in warm water.

A great bread-making tool
After mixing your dough and letting it rise the first time, this basket helps shape the dough into a perfect loaf, with an interesting pattern on the crust. My first loaf with this basket turned out perfectly. It is much easier than hand shaping a loaf, and much more rustic/natural than using a loaf pan.
