Frieling French Press Review I Need to Share with You

I decided to post my Frieling French Press Review so other coffee lovers will see some new coffee drinking possibilities.
So, what is my story?
Not long ago i had opportunity to try French-pressed coffee from a french press coffee maker and I had been sold instantly. The increased character and complexity just blows even the most carefully drip-brewed coffee right out of the water.
The very first time I saw sheen of rich oil (normally removed by paper filters) shining back at me from a piping warm cup, I knew I had been in for some treat. Any i was not mistaken.
I decided to try a Frieling French Press as I heard a lot of good things about them. Man i was not wrong, this press is amazing. Even decaf coffee has more character and body -that is excellent for me because to much of caffeine just kills my stomach.
It's constructed like a tank so it can withstand a great tumble inside a backpack (just toss that ancient enamel percolator you utilized to take camping correct out the window) and also the insulated carafe keeps your ideal cup steaming warm.
This Frieling French Press carafe holds about 3 regular coffee mugs. I found that ideal for my coffee drinking style. If you are new to French press, do yourself a favor and purchase a good high quality burr grinder that has a "very coarse" or "French press" setting feature.
They are expensive, but you are wasting your time if you just drop in some basic-grind supermarket grounds; you won't get the correct extraction from the beans and you'll have a lot of icky sediment.
Blade grinders just don't provide you with a steady grind and they have a tendency to be a little "dusty" which will leave you with even much more sediment. I should note that sediment is a part of the French-pressed cup anyway.
The French Press Frieling coffee maker includes a superfine steel mesh that removes all but the nearly microscopic grounds, which really just adds towards the entire body from the espresso instead of anything unpleasant, and is an important component of French-press espresso.
This is really a wonderful buy for anyone who takes their coffee seriously.
The Frieling is also outstanding for loose tea so even if you're not a java fanatic like me you can still take benefit of this high-quality piece of brewing equipment. I would also recommend the Vacu Vin coffee saver to store your fresh ground beans so you can savor the perfect cup just about anyplace. OK I hope my Frieling Ultimo 28-Ounce French Press review will help you make up your mind about this coffee maker. Making coffee with this press is really one of a kind experiance.
