“I bought a gorgeous [polished stainless Frieling french press,](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009ADDS) but I still use my bodums, because it's just too classy for everyday use.”

“I picked up a [Frieling](https://direct.frieling.com/frieling_french_press_polished_p/fpm.htm) 23 oz, but it's going back as the press jams into the grounds when pushed down all the way.

“A Frieling french press that makes great coffee and keeps it warm long enough to finish it.”
“I've actually found it to be much easier to clean, as they put some thought into being able to disassemble the plunger with ease. You can also buy replacement parts if you feel that you need to, but the double mesh filters have been a breeze to wash. They've done well in keeping a great deal of silt out, too, but its unavoidable with french presses. I can't”
