Double-Wall Stainless French Press (17 oz)

Last verified May 12, 2026 by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

Frieling's double walled stainless French press is the upgrade pick r/Coffee, r/cookingforbeginners, and Wirecutter consistently recommend over the glass Bodum that breaks within a year of countertop bumps. The double wall stainless steel construction means the coffee stays hot for 1+ hours (vs ~20 minutes in single wall glass), the body survives drops onto tile, and the dishwasher cycle doesn't compromise the seal. The plunger uses a heavy gauge stainless mesh (not the slightly pitted plastic mesh of Bodum) so fines don't sneak past. Made in Germany by Frieling. r/Coffee treats this as the consensus French press if you commit to the brewing method; the alternative is the cheap Bodum which is great until the day you knock it off the counter.
