Frieling French Press Ultimo 24oz ~ Insulated Stainless Steel Coffee Press ~ 6 Cup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned several glass French Press makers and enjoyed them very much but kept losing them to breakage. This one is not only unbreakable but quite stylish. The insulation is a plus though the coffee does not stay hot as long as it would in a standard thermos.

By doing away with filters and cones, this 24-ounce French press from Frieling makes rich, delicious coffee in a self-contained, non-electric design. The press also smartly sidesteps the problem of breakable glass carafes with its high-quality 18/10 stainless-steel construction. At once beautiful, sleek, and sturdy, the mirror-finish piece has a satisfying weight, a comfortable full-length handle, and an all-steel mesh plunger mechanism ideal for coarse coffee grounds or loose tea leaves. Frieling's double-wall construction keeps hot beverages hot and cold ones cold if you use the pitcher by itself for milk or juice. Standing 8-5/8 inches high, the press disassembles completely for washing by hand or running through the dishwasher

Mavea Elemaris XL Water Filtration Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We replaced the Brita pitcher that we have used for several years with this one. One thing that bothers me about the Brita filters is how the carbon particles keep escaping into the top compartment of the pitcher. It doesn't hurt anything, but it looks bad to me. Mavea's filters haven't had that problem so far. However, their claim that you don't have to soak the filter is not quite true: you have to run two pitchers of water through a new filter to activate it. This is even more trouble than soaking.
The self-opening and closing lid works well. You never have to remove the lid or flip it up. The only catch is that you have to stop pouring water in when it first starts to close. If you keep filling until it closes completely, water leaks out the top of the lid down the handle and interior sides of the pitcher.
We wanted a larger capacity pitcher than the 40 ounce Brita slim pitcher we were replacing. The 3.5 liter Elemaris XL size fits the bill. Be forewarned that the fully filled pitcher is quite heavy at 9 pounds. The contoured, rubberized grip makes it easier to deal with.

Kikkerland Double Walled 10-Ounce Ceramic Coffee Cup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this one for two reasons. The double-walled design promised good insulation and manageable temperatures on the outside. That's fine and works as advertised. However, the cup is not 12 oz but 10. This is a big deal given that so many of these cups are so small. I'm not one for huge cups of coffee, but to ensure limited spilling, a 12-14 oz cup size really is ideal. The bottom line though is that wrong information listed on something you can't easily return - the box it comes in says 10 oz - is just not acceptable.

Thermos Nissan 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Travel Mug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mug is the best mug I have ever used for keeping the coffee warm. It's still very warm after lunch. On one occasion I left my coffee in the car for the entire day and when I took a drink it was still warm!
But....The fatal flaw that this mug has it's top. It does not screw on. It has a slip on top secured by a rubber "O" ring. If the top is removed at any time after filling (with coffee) the top will not stay in place. It will actually pop off while it sits on your desk and not over time, almost immediately.
So if you drink one cup of coffee a day and don't need a spill proof mug, this is the best you will find.

Aerolatte 1 Stainless-Steel Deluxe Edition Frother with Stand, Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must admit, when I first heard of these immersion frothers, I was very skeptical. I had tried many frothers, cappuccino machines with built in frothers (work great first 2 times, then they always clog) and plunger frothers (can you say carpal tunnel syndrome??) etc. After much time AND much effort, there was very little reward, almost no froth and much frustration, not to mention cleanup. I tried the plunger types repeatedly to the point where I was sure I'd have blisters. Did I mention having to disassemble & clean all the frother parts after? :o)
So began my quest for an easy, effective way to obtain cappuccino style froth for my morning java. I searched java junkie message boards and decided to give the Aerolatte a try. I couldn't have been more amazed and pleased.
This little gadget runs on 2 AA batteries (included) and comes with a metal counter stand so it's easily accessible. I unboxed it and gave it a whirl, seemed sturdy and surprisingly fast. Now for the coffee test. Hmmm. So I brewed a pot (french press) of strong coffee and poured a little half & half in my mug and let 'er rip. All I can say is AWESOME!! I was totally shocked at how quick and easy the Aerolatte whipped it into froth. Seriously, comparable to the froth from Starbucks. I couldn't believe it.
The instructions recommend skim or low fat milk, which also frothed up just as thick and rich. Wow!!!! When you are finished, run the unit under under the faucet or in a cup of water to clean. Incredibly cool that you create the froth right in your coffee mug. Simple as that, no extra equipment to clean.
Be brave, experiment a little. I prefer heating my mug with sugar & half & half in the microwave for 30 seconds, froth for about 30 seconds & pour in coffee. Voila Coffee house quality cappuccino and no pots or tubes to clean. Pretty spectacular!
Details: Gotta admit, the stand that arrived with mine is cool to look at, very high-tech, but poorly designed & a tad annoying as you need 2 hands to remove the frother or put it back in. Ok, but not ideal. Luckily, Aerolatte must have realized this, as they have since redesigned the stand & replaced with an even cooler (hopefully more functional) design.
The battery life is excellent (at least 4 weeks of daily use), however I would recommend investing in rechargeable batteries and charger, as the unit is much more efficient and faster with strong batteries.
My first Aerolatte burned out after a little over a year of heavy usage. I loved it so much I purchased another. The price is reasonable as my unit was packaged with the unit, stand and matching shaker for toppings (cinnamon, cocoa, etc)
Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed! Bravo Aerolatte

Sun's Tea (TM) 13oz Strong Double Wall Old-Fashioned Thermo Whiskey/coffee/juice Glasses, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been waiting for a competitor to Bodum for double-walled glasses for a while now. Since this product advertised "strong" as a marketing tag, I thought it'd be worthwhile to try it out. However, this review isn't about the durability (yet) because I had owned the set for only a few days now.
If you're inclined to buy a pair of these glasses as gifts, be sure to buy two pairs. This is because the production quality appears quite inconsistent. My tallest glass is a whole centimeter taller than my shortest, and that's not mentioning the difference of heights between the inner and outer layers. One of my glasses does not have a perfectly level bottom, so it jiggles a little against the counter. If you're going to keep pairs or give them away, be sure to match the glasses closest in height and internal volume.
About internal volume - these are NOT 13 oz. They actually hold between 9-10 oz, closer to 8 oz comfortably. That's a cup. The 13 oz may refer to the outer layer.
Because of the thickness of the walls and distance between the layers, the lip is a bit thick as well. That's just a minor detail (it's easier to drink from a thinner glass lip).
In terms of insulation quality, they will hold cold milk well without sweating on the outside, but you will still feel the outer surface get cool, which is expected.
I'll add more later in terms of durability as I see fit, but the glasses seem sturdy enough. They remind me a great deal of lab beakers, actually.
Update 8/13: One of my glasses broke. A roughly 1-cm shard of glass was floating around between the walls and water got in during dishwashing. Judging by the location of the break (inside bottom "edge" of glass), I think someone dropped a heavy utensil like a butter knife into it while it was in the sink, causing the breakage. I don't know how that would translate into their "ice cube drop" test, but there you go.
