I can take it apart, rinse it out and make another pot, or put all the pieces in the dishwasher. I have been using for over 3 months now, so far, so good. 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. The only thing I'd change, I would have purchased the largest one, as the 5-6 cup is not actually measuring cup sized. I love this coffee press. It is makes great coffee, keeps remaining pretty warm as it is somewhat insulated.
I now own two of these. Broken so many of the glass ones I figured why not invest in a quality product.Couldn't be happier.
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. As long time French press users, we hoped we'd hit the jackpot based on other reviews of the Frielling 5-6 cup. We are back to our glass Bodum. (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. 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.
And then it broke. Then I bought a Frieling.Not only is it beautiful, but it has proved to be indestructible.
And the Frieling takes it, no problem. 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.
My first press was a Bodum. And it broke.
If you like french press coffee (or using it for tea), this will pay for itself by lasting much, much longer than glass does. I loved it because I love french press coffee.
So I got another one.
Keeps that perfect coffee very hot. This is without a doubt one of the nicest French Presses I have ever owned. Great buy.
