It was an all-around great brewer that hit every mark — its single-layer filter did a fantastic job, the pour from its spout felt controlled, and it comes in a wide range of lively colors. We were particularly impressed with Frieling's insulation; it brewed at consistent temperatures across multiple tests. The resulting brew was satisfying, smooth, and well-balanced.View post Z
