This was a Christmas present for my husband and he LOVES it. It is used about 5x a week. Great size for one coffee drinker.
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.

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. I opted for the Frieling because the Frieling comes in the smaller sizes. I am very happy with it.
I like limiting my coffee intake in the morning so I opted for the smaller 8 ounce 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).
you see which one I bought.
I like it but most people will certainly find this size too small and should get the 17oz version.
The pictures don't do it justice.
It is mesmerizingly beautiful, quality construction and works excellent.
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.
She buys the oiliest, freshest organic fair-trade coffee beans and grinds only the beans that she will drink immediately. The double-wall cup construction keeps the outer wall room temperature and safe to touch. With the heat of the water and the weakness of plastic, the small attachment gets displaced and the press stops working.
