Coffee Makers

This is a beautiful and functional french press and it is much easier to clean than a percolator coffee pot. The plunger-screen is well designed w/a stainless steel plate with a up curved, i.e. radiused edge, to hold the ss screen and circumferential spring. I use this french press for coffee and for brewing iced tea. I use one Tablespoon of ground tea to a quart of boiling water-one can buy a bunch of the gallon sized tea bags at Sams and empty them into Mason jars. The only negative is the high cost of this Freiling Stainless Steel Press, i.e. approx. $70. Even though the double walled unit is not a great thermos bottle, this is not of much consequence as you should pour the coffee off of the grounds in 3-4 minutes. Just pour the coffee into a small thermos bottle."..."  Read more

I've had a bodum glass pot for years and have broken the glass in the past but only twice. What I hated about the Bodum was that my coffee got cold really fast and I had to hurry up and drink it or I'd have to warm it up in the microwave which I don't like to do. After the second time breaking the Bodum glass I reached and found the Frieling french press. Ordered it right away based on the high ratings all over the web. I LOVE this french press. The coffee stays hot for a long time so I don't have to rush. It's made of very heavy duty construction and I like the brushed metal design, goes well with my All Clad cookware. Overall no complaints about this pot accept for one, the opening spout doesn't close up and it does release some heat out but not enough to make a major difference."..."  Read more

It yields about 1.5 large mugs of coffee or 2 regular sized cups. It proves durable, easy to clean and the insulated design keeps your coffee warm."..."  Read more

I've used many different types of coffee makers, from drip to cold pressed. The french press technique produces the tastiest coffee. I've always managed to break the glass containers and am pleased as punch to have found this press. I have found no down side to it."..."  Read more
