Frieling French Press Coffee Maker with Patented Dual Screen

Reasons to buy

Best high end

The patented, double-walled stainless steel Frieling French Press Coffee Maker comes with a 36-ounce capacity and measures at 10-inches high. The outside is kept at room temperature to prevent anyone from getting burned, and the inner vessel contains a pre-filter, super-fine mesh filter, and metal wire (to keep the plunger tight against the sidewall), so the grounds are kept separate from the brewed coffee. A mirror finish gives this French press a clean and simple, yet elegant, look.

Best on budget

There's no need to sacrifice any coffee quality because of budget concerns. The Bodum Brazil French Press satisfies both needs. The borosilicate glass does not absorb any oils for an unadulterated coffee taste. (The stainless steel plunger and mesh don't interfere with your coffee's taste either.) Brew up to 36 ounces of coffee and then take this press apart to wash it by hand or put it into the dishwasher to clean.

Best for travel

Best large and insulated

A trendy choice, the SterlingPro French Press, has been one of the first to use the innovative two-screen filtering system to give a granule-free cup of coffee. Built with a capacity of 36 ounces, the SterlingPro keeps the coffee hot even after two hours. The plunger stops at 1.5 inches from the bottom, which allows the grounds to release their flavor without damaging the screen.

A clean, aromatic cup of coffee can only be enjoyed from a French press

Taking very little counter space, and not requiring any pouring technique, the French press provides a rich and aromatic experience. Enjoy it thoroughly with the cultivated Bodum Chambord French Press, which not only gives the maximum flavor but looks good too. The borosilicate carafe will not absorb any oils, providing the richness of taste you deserve.

Make that next coffee cup an experience to be enjoyed.
