Frieling USA Ultimo French Presses

I love this little French press. It's easy to clean. It got a nice heavy ' good quality' feel to it. I just wish I had purchased the next size up. This size will only make one small (European size) cup....actually, not even that. So, unless you like really tiny cups of coffee, I would suggest buying the larger size. A great quality product, never the less.

This is the first french press I've managed to get my hands on, and I couldn't be happier.

The quality itself is perfect, being all stainless steel. Someone at my job even quoted it as being the "viking" of french press mugs, and I couldn't agree more.

I was skeptical at first, as I didn't really see what the "hubbub" was about french press mugs. But after experimenting with my first few batches, it definitely produces a much better cup of coffee.

One great thing, is that this french press mug is a breeze to clean and I find myself constantly going back to brew multiple cups of coffee and even find myself serving some of my co-workers. Can't help if I want to show it off.

All in all if you're looking for a high quality french press, don't pass this up.

I wanted a stainless steel press and I had two options; the Frieling or the Bodum Columbia, so I scoured the internet for better pics of them... you see which one I bought. Let me tell you, this Frieling is hands down the nicest coffee press available. Unlike the Bodum Columbia, or any of the Bodums for that matter, this Frieling is made entirely of stainless steelno plastic parts anywhere! None! The pictures don't do it justice. It is mesmerizingly beautiful, quality construction and works excellent.

I like limiting my coffee intake in the morning so I opted for the smaller 8 ounce version. I am very happy with it. Warning, they aren't kidding about the size though, it makes precisely one American sized cup. I like it but most people will certainly find this size too small and should get the 17oz version. The 17oz version should hold two cups of coffee, which should be adequate for the single coffee drinker or the couple who likes their coffee in moderation.

I am also going to tell you here that there is a very nice ceramic press available on Amazon as well, if you search around for it (there's only one). My girlfriend used to have one until I knocked it onto the floor, and it has all the benefits of insulating the liquid and a non-plastic construction. I opted for the Frieling because the Frieling comes in the smaller sizes.

This press makes a good 5 or 6oz cup of coffee, but beware if you think that the 8oz size in the specifications means that you can get an 8oz cup of coffee. The spout is so designed that if you put more than 6oz of water in the coffee press, then when you depress the plunger some hot water will shoot out of the spout and some coffee grounds will get in your just brewed cup of coffee. If you like an 8oz cup of coffee, you should buy the next larger size.

Want Frieling USA Ultimo French Presses Discount?

The biggest disappointment for me is that I chose this product because the company says that they are a USA company. Sadly the product says it was made in China. I wanted an American made product. I am spreading the word not to buy this product. If you check out the about page on their website this is what they say, "Founded in New York by Monika & Bernard Schnacke to market Frieling's German-made products". My product packaging says "Made in P.R.C for Frieling Company". Either Frieling is a liar or the company I bought it from here on Amazon.

Quality wise, it is nice but not the greatest design. Do not over fill the water or the grinds will get passed the screen next to the spout. I get around this by tilting the whole thing and the pushing the screen past the spout. You definitely have to heat up the press before using it or your coffee will not be that hot.
