Our assessment
This is a manufacturer-document review. We have not used this press.
Frieling states that the press is crafted entirely from 18/10 stainless steel, so by the maker’s account no plastic sits in the brew path. The double wall keeps coffee hot without a warming plate, and the sizes run from 17 to 44 ounces.
The trade is the paper filter. Paper holds back cafestol and kahweol, coffee oils that raise LDL cholesterol, and a French press has none. If you are watching your cholesterol, a paper-filtered method such as a glass pour-over is the easier fit. A French press you already own is fine to keep.
