Frieling French Press

My younger brother purchased a Frieling French Press for me for Christmas. I am pretty happy with the quality of the coffee from this press. On top of that it is very nice looking, and it can’t shatter into a million pieces, like my old Bodum.

The negative is that if you overfill this press and push down on the handle, it actually shoots scalding hot liquid out of the spout. So you have to be careful when filling it or when operating the press.

Overall, I think that if you can do without the good looks, a less-expensive Bodum would probably be a better value.
