Coffee time.
Bodum Chambord , $39 on AmazonRemember when I said that if you're even a teensy bit klutzy you will eventually break the glass carafe? If you're particularly accident prone, consider buying a stainless steel French press instead. Stainless steel presses look sleek and feel a bit more company-worthy, transitioning easily from the kitchen to the dining table.
We were skeptical at first. The SterlingPro is a clone of the more expensive metal presses, like the high-end Frieling, and is only available on Amazon. Even though it has over 2,800 five-star reviews, could the quality of the French press and the coffee it produced really measure up to models that sold for three times the price? Short answer: yes!
In our day-to-day use of the contenders, the SterlingPro quickly rose to the top of the pack thanks to its durability and simple good looks, and the clean, consistent coffee it produced. The double-walled insulated 100 percent 18/10 stainless steel carafe felt good in the hand and cleaned up easily after brewing.
Finally, I did a controlled study of the entire group. In each press, I made four servings of coffee using medium/coarse ground Ethiopian beans and 205°F water, letting it steep for four minutes before plunging.
The Freiling Insulated Double-Wall Stainless Steel French Press is another favorite among critics and has hundreds of glowing Amazon reviews praising its luxe, insulated stainless body and the nuanced, light coffee it produced. We were impressed by the tightness of the seal around the filter—nary a particle of grit found its way into our cup—but that same tightness also made it a little awkward to use as we wrestled to get the plunger smoothly into the carafe.
