great, makes great coffee...super hot!

I tried all of those gadgets/methods for 1 cup brewing. The french-press, especially this double-wall-insulated one, is the best for brewing single cup of coffee. I love strong-bold coffee, and hate drinking warm coffee. This press is the best in ensuring that you'll have a HOT cup of stong-bold coffee. Lastly, this press will never break, unlike those glass-presses.

Excellent product; although not perfect

This is an excellent French press and has a number of attributes: sturdy, excellent heat retention, easy to clean, and just the right size for a quick personal serving with a partial refill. It has the added benefit of being made completely of stainless steel, avoiding broken glass, broken plastic, & the concern regarding chemicals leaching from plastics into your hot beverage. The only minor negative features are: spurts out of pouring spout unless under-filled with water, screen is coarse & lets more grinds through, and it's a bit heavy when packed in your luggage for trips. Despite the minor negatives, it ranks a 5-star rating because it remains the best of all available commercial products for its purpose.

Perfect

As far as coffee quality, all French presses are pretty much the same, provided they filter the grounds well, which this one does. So, there's not much to say there other than it makes a great cup of coffee.

It's solid stainless all around. The knob is stainless, the bracket that holds the screen in place is stainless, everything. That means it's dishwasher safe, which is a big deal to me. The whole exterior has an attractive mirror polish. No issues with quality or design.

For what it's worth, it does insulate pretty well. Given that this is a 17oz press (more realistically, 15-16 oz), this isn't a huge selling point. But, it is a nice feature to have, regardless. Even though you're not supposed to let coffee sit around in a French press for a long time, should you find yourself in a situation where you have no choice, you can at least be assured it will stay pretty hot for an hour and warm for a few hours.

Whether or not you drink it right away, I think the double walls at least add to the overall solid feel and weight of the product. They also prevent the outer wall from getting hot, so I suppose it would reduce the odds of burning your fingers if you happen the grab it the wrong way.

worth the money

I can't believe how much better this maintains the heat of the tea...so much longer than glass carafes. I love it!

18/10 stainless steel is revered for its sleekness and elegance as well as its ease of maintenance. The Frieling French Press boasts a gorgeous mirror finish outside and brushed finish inside. All steel plunger mechanism. Built to stand the teas of time. 17-fluid ounce capacity, enough of three to four cups. Dishwasher safe.
