What the Frieling Is

The Frieling French press is made in one material: 18/10 stainless steel. Body, lid, plunger rod, and the two-stage mesh filter are all steel, and the double-walled construction insulates like a thermos, keeping coffee hot far longer than a glass beaker press.

What Touches the Water

Steel, start to finish. Hot water steeps against the stainless interior, the plunger and filter that move through the brew are stainless, and you pour through a stainless spout. There is no plastic lid insert, no plastic frame, and no glass to crack.

The Plastic-Free Verdict: 100% Plastic Free

This is a fully plastic-free brewer with no caveats and one of the most durable pieces of coffee gear you can own. French press does put more sediment and oils in the cup than paper-filtered methods; that is a taste preference, not a materials problem. If you prefer glass brewing, the Chemex is the equivalent zero-plastic pick on the pour-over side.

Who It’s For

• French press drinkers tired of replacing cracked glass beakers
• Anyone who wants a strictly plastic-free hot brew path
• Camp and travel brewing, since it shrugs off drops
