What Frieling Double-Wall French Press owners say
“I have had mine for 14 years. I have only had to get a small replacement part once. It is expensive, but it feels heavy and solid as a rock.”
“The Frieling has 100% metal parts. I've had mine for probably 12 years, and it's as good as the day I bought it.”
“I gave away my Frieling french press. Not because it wasn't well made—it absolutely was—but I just couldn't get a good cup of coffee from the thing.”
