Frieling Double-Wall Stainless Steel French Press
All-metal 18/10 stainless french press - body, lid, plunger, and dual mesh filter are stainless steel, with no plastic or glass in the brew path.
The verdict: Plastic-free
The entire press is 18/10 stainless steel: double-walled body, double-walled lid, plunger rod, and the patented two-stage mesh filter. Frieling and its retailers describe it as "100% stainless steel, no plastic anywhere," and the plunger seals against the wall with a spring-tensioned steel coil rather than a rubber or silicone gasket. Coffee only touches stainless steel.

A double-walled, vacuum-style 18/10 stainless steel French press that keeps coffee hot roughly four times longer than a single-wall glass press. Its distinguishing feature is a patented two-stage filter - a finer pre-filter layered over the main mesh - that traps more sediment than a typical single screen. The whole plunger assembly disassembles for cleaning and every part is dishwasher safe. Sold in 8, 17, 23, 36, and 44 oz sizes and in polished or brushed finishes.
