Frieling 36 OZ. French Press VS Cuisinart Coffee maker
We have been using 12 cup Cuisinart programmable coffee makers for over a decade. They work great. Pour the water into the top, put in a paper filter, put in coffee grounds and turn it on. In less than 5 minutes there is a half pot of coffee. Easy.So why buy a non mechanical French press, actually invented in Italy, and use it instead?One big reason. Coffee makers aren’t recyclable. When they stop working they go a landfill. Cuisinart doesn’t offer any advice on recycling them. If you take them to Best Buy or somewhere, they will charge you to recycle it. Same as with flat screen TV sets. Garbage.The press doesn’t heat the coffee, so a few tips. I pour the water I plan to make into coffee into a coffee mug first, and then pour the water into a glass Pyrex cup and put it in a microwave oven to heat the water to a boil. I scope the coffee grounds and put them into the bottom of the press. When the water is hot I pour it on top of the grounds and use a long handled ice tea spoon to stir up the mixture for a few minutes. Then I put the top of the press on with the plunger pulled all the way up. i wait a few minutes and press the plunger down slowly until it is at the bottom. Then I pour out a nice hot freshly brewed cup of coffee. No longer than what it take to brew in a coffee maker.The clean up of the grounds in the bottom of the press is easier if I pour water into the press and then pour the grounds into a strainer. I have a strainer basket in the sink drain on one side where we have a disposal to keep anything unwanted from falling into it. After a few more rinses of the press, it is clean of grounds. I rinse off the bottom of the plunger and the press it ready again to use. I simply take the strainer and dump the grounds into the garbage.I like the fact that the press has no electronic components and is stainless steel. Sturdy and well made. CR rated this brand high due to the strainer basket at the bottom and the carafe’s double wall which keeps coffee, or tea, hot. I prefer to make coffee in the press now. No need to buy coffee filters, or carbon filters for the water, or worry about breaking a glass carafe and disposing of a coffee maker.Though we still have the Cuisinart coffee maker, I never use it now.

Very solidly built (all metal) and easy to clean. Looks great and makes fine coffee. And then keeps it hot for a while. Not the cheapest, but worth the extra.

Excelente calidad, filtro y temperatura. El Ãºnico pormenor es que al ser pulido es difÃcil tenerla completamente brillante siempre deja los dedos o agua marcada

Muy contento con la prensa, me costo un poco de trabajo al principio entender un par de cosas como que vale la pena pre calentarla poniendo un poco de cafÃ© y agua caliente y despuÃ©s ya llenarla para que mantenga la temperatura y el sabor de mejor manera.Por lo demÃ¡s excelente construcciÃ³n y material, si mantiene por un buen rato el cafÃ© caliente, si la usas para una sola persona salen 3 tasas y media de >300ml lo cual estÃ¡ muy bien para tener buen cafÃ© un rato, para casa o compartir puede no ser tan prÃ¡ctico, por supuesto este tamaÃ±o es el comÃºn en casa si usas tasas para espreso seguro son muchas masOtro detalle que no entendÃ hasta re leer las instrucciones para medir el agua, ya que estaba acostumbrado a una prensa de vidrio es que se llena de agua justo hasta donde empieza el pico de servir, lo cual es la marca exacta, leyendo con atenciÃ³n las instrucciones se logra usar muy rÃ¡pido y obtener muy buen cafÃ©.

Premium, easy-to-clean french press
First of all, I got the 17oz brushed option. In my experience, glass presses tend to break easily. This stainless steel model is durable, and the double-wall insulation keeps it hot while brewing. I think this was the only 17oz press I found that came in a brushed finish. Not a fan of mirror finishes.I got this because the decaf at my work tastes awful and needed a good way to make coffee for myself to fill my 16oz Joeveo mug. I wanted the smaller size for that reason, and it was important to keep it hot for the Joeveo insulation magic to work. Long story short, I am very satisfied. I did not notice any of the quality issues that other reviewers noted. The welds look clean and nice. It has a premium look and feel. It’s easy to clean. There’s a bit of friction when actually pressing it, but I assume this is because it’s stainless steel, as I’ve only used glass presses before. I use hot water from the coffee maker at work, and the press keeps it plenty hot while brewing. I can’t vouch for now long it keeps it hot after that, as I’m not interested in letting it sit in there with the grounds. I have not noticed any grounds in the coffee yet, and I’m not even using coarse grounds like you’re supposed to with presses. I’m still experimenting with different grounds, but it’s already way better than the drip decaf provided at work. One thing worth noting is that I drink black coffee so as not to add calories to it. The quality of coffee and brewing is more important when drinking it black, otherwise it is harsh and bitter.One thing to note is not to fill it past the bottom of the pouring spout. If you do, scalding liquid will squirt out when you put the cap on. It also can cause some grounds to make it around the filter. I noticed that it doesn’t make quite enough coffee to fill my 16oz Joeveo mug completely even though it says 17oz. I’m thinking either it’s 17oz counting some unusable volume, or the Joeveo mug is a bit larger than 16oz. In any case, it almost fills it, and I like the small size, so I am satisfied. I don’t think I would want the 23oz or 36oz options for this particular application.
