Lastly I think the value for the money is very poor. There is no filter over the pour spout so the coffee can get pretty muddy. My other two glass presses have a filter and work great. Bought this thinking it would be great for keeping coffee hot. Too much money for a press that doesn't hold very much, shoots coffee out the spout and makes muddy coffee. First off, it holds only TWO mug size cups of coffee. It is good at keeping the coffee hot BUT it is not such a great press. When you press the coffee, you have to be very careful or the hot coffee will come shooting out the spout.
Have had the frieling 5-6(european)cup press for a few weeks now and so far it is excellent.Not a tinge of regret,not even over the price.I'm even thinking about buying the next size up for weekends and the next size down for late afternoons.It is well made and easy to use.I'm a little particular(ok nutty) about saving grounds for the garden/yard so I need to find a better spatula for scooping.Maybe silicon.
I especially like the double-walled construction as I feel it DOES keep the coffer warmer longer.I highly recommend it. I came home and ordered one right away. I used this brand of french press while staying at a resort in Tortola, BVI recently. I had never seen or heard of this brand before, but was very impressed with it.
Not to mention the beautiful design and the hardy stainless steel Thanks to all the hints and tips it made this purchase tremendously worth the money. I took suggestions from the reviews and made certain not to grind the coffee too fine - and wow. Delicious coffee every time. Never owning a Press before, and the positive reviews on Amazon I decided on the Frieling. A big bang for the buck, I would absolutely recommend this to my friends. For it's size it delivers about three mugs of coffee and the brew is unbelievable. It's perfect. The element allows the coffee to stay hot, but then again the coffee is so good it never lingers very long.
Great for single person.Retains heat. Works like a charm.Perfect size for two large cups.
