I can take it apart, rinse it out and make another pot, or put all the pieces in the dishwasher. I decided to try out the Frieling press after reading many positive reviews. No more last minute trips to the store for a replacement press due to a tiny bump on the counter.(and the tinkle of broken glass after) Who isn't a bit clumsy before their 1st coffee of the day. I love this coffee press. It is makes great coffee, keeps remaining pretty warm as it is somewhat insulated. I have been using for over 3 months now, so far, so good. The only thing I'd change, I would have purchased the largest one, as the 5-6 cup is not actually measuring cup sized.
Broken so many of the glass ones I figured why not invest in a quality product.Couldn't be happier. I now own two of these.
As long time French press users, we hoped we'd hit the jackpot based on other reviews of the Frielling 5-6 cup. But with the long shape of the pour spout, there is no way to fill the pot to any more that 1 1/2 inches below the top without creating the second problem -- hot coffee and grounds spraying all over when it comes time to press. This press is impressive when it comes to form and style, but scores low on functionality. First, the "5-6 cup" description (assuming 6oz cups) must have been measured from the top of the pot. (Yes, we know to use the proper grind for French press, and we know to push the plunger slowly).For us the 23 ounces of coffee the Frieling can safely produce is not enough to make it our daily press. We are back to our glass Bodum.
And the Frieling takes it, no problem. Then I bought a Frieling.Not only is it beautiful, but it has proved to be indestructible.
I loved it because I love french press coffee. My first press was a Bodum.
And it broke. And then it broke.
So I got another one. I try to take care of my things, but I travel and am active and inevitably put my stuff through the ringer at some point.
If you like french press coffee (or using it for tea), this will pay for itself by lasting much, much longer than glass does.
This is without a doubt one of the nicest French Presses I have ever owned. Great buy. Keeps that perfect coffee very hot.
