5.0 out of 5 stars works well, April 3, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this smaller Frieling press because I wanted something just big enough to make one fresh, not over brewed cup of coffee or tea for both my girlfriend and I. It does the job very nicely. There is no plastic involved in its construction. Its all durable stainless steel. The double wall construction does a decent job keeping the water hot while brewing. The mesh does a good job of keeping loose tea and coffee grounds out of what I'm brewing. When you get yours, just make sure you visually check on how well the mesh seals against the inside of the pot. The first one I bought was defective in that way and I sent it right back.

I bought this for my wife, who likes to read the papers in bed with a HOT cup of coffee on weekends. After using glass French press pots for a while I didn't have much faith that the coffee would really stay drinkable for long - but now I'm a believer.

First of all, this pot is beautiful to look at, the picture does not capture the modern design. It is also solid, especially the press mechanism (which typically breaks on cheaper presses). The mesh seems to be smaller than on other ones as well, so you get a strong cup of coffee without the grounds.

It's perfect for a couple of cups of really good, hot coffee in the morning, well made and pretty - well worth the cost.

I don't know how many press pots I have gone through since I discovered that they are the ONLY way to make a really good cup of home-brewed coffee, but I wish I had found this brand sooner. Not only is it virtually indestructible, but it is also beautiful--imagine yourself drinking coffee with Lotte Lenya in Berlin or with Carla Bruni in Paris. I have never had coffee poured from a press pot as hot (just prewarm the Frieling with hot H2O while you grind your beans). The sreening device performs masterly--unlike some others there's no need to pour the coffee through a tea stainer to catch those escaped grinds. Well worth the price, the 4 cup makes one perfect large American-size mug of hot, never bitter coffee--what a perfect way to start the day! I also purchased the largest Frieling and it is equally as beautiful and lovely to use.
