Straight-up on French Press Coffee
Boosting Coffee Quality: New Method Revealed
If you're seizing the day with a French press morning brew, there's no denying the charm. But among the multitude of models, which reigns supreme? The ntv/RTL test team unveils the cream of the crop.
Let's Tackle These French Presses
We took a deep dive into five contenders:
- Groenenberg 0.35 to 1 liter for €43.99
- Poliviar 1 liter for €41.99
- AeroPress 298 ml for €38.94
- Bodum 1 liter for €23.94
- Tchibo Siebstempelkanne 800 ml for €19.99
Evaluating the Extras
In our review, we zeroed in on aspects like inclusion, packaging, and assembly complexity. Did the French press arrive with filters and dosing spoons? Could it be used straight out of the box, or did it require a degree in engineering?

Next, we dove into the preparation process, using full capacity for each model and sticking to a one-tablespoon-per-liter ratio. We also scrutinized the stability of the pots, the tightness of the lids, and the dripping factor when pouring.
The Big Reveal: The Groenenberg 0.35 to 1 liter
In our tests, the Groenenberg French press impressed the most, clocking in at just under €44. This hefty device (979 grams) boasts durable, elegant construction, with stainless steel construction and an internal measuring scale. It also rocks a double insulation that keeps coffee hot for up to ten minutes. While a few drops may spill when pouring at an angle, its robustness shines through.

The Tchibo Siebstempelkanne 800 ml - Best Budget Buy
Priced at around €20, the Tchibo French Press is a steal. Although no extras are included with the lightweight 551-gram can, it delivers high quality thanks to its stable glass body and functional plastic handle. It's also dishwasher safe, albeit hand washing is recommended for the lid.
Poliviar 7379 French Press 1 Liter
This stylish, matte green device costs nearly €42 but offers a modern touch with its stainless steel construction. It includes additional filters and features an intuitive measuring scale. Though it doesn't seal as tightly as other models, its heat-resistant borosilicate glass keeps coffee warm for an extended period.
AeroPress 298 ml - Non-traditional Marvel
At around €39, this unique French Press will make coffee connoisseurs shine. Notable for its unconventional appearance and assembly requirements, this BPA-free plastic device delivers a clean, non-overpowering cup of coffee. However, limited capacity makes it less suitable for larger households.
Bodum Caffettiera 1 Liter - The Classic
Around €24 buys you the classic Bodum Caffettiera. This tried-and-true design has stood the test of time, with glass and steel construction, and a whisper of chrome. Although it lacks a measuring scale, the transparent glass pot makes filling easy. Like other models, it provides a top-tier coffee experience, though a few drops may spill during pouring. All parts are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Conclusion:
After thorough testing, the Groenenberg French press stood tall as our winner. For those on a budget, the Tchibo Siebstempelkanne is an excellent choice. Whether you opt for classic or modern design, there's a French press that suits your preferences and budget. Happy brewing!
