Bodum 34-Ounce Coffee Press Replacement Beaker, Glass

The french press makes great coffee. The glass carafes are extremely fragile, so expect to break them periodically. Then you have to be meticulous in ordering the replacement to make sure that you get the right size.

DO NOT BUY ANY BODUM COFFEE OR TEA PRESS THAT CONTAINS GLASS. BODUM USES A SPECIAL GLASS THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

I love Bodum Coffee Presses. But I would NEVER recommend anyone buy one with a glass beaker. You will need to replace the beaker frequently, since the special glass Bodum uses is extremely fragile, and breaks repeatedly for no apparent reason at all. I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up. Make no mistake, you do not have to bang the glass against anything for it to break. It simply cracks spontaneously for no apparent reason

Bodum has come out with some presses with a LEXAN clear plastic beaker.
These do not break. I assume they came out with the LEXAN product because of problems with the glass. Be warned.

Glass beaker works the same as the old one. I just wish there was somehow they could make the glass a little bit more thicker and durable. They break to easily and I am sure if it tap this one the wrong way in the sink while washing it will break too.

I bought this as a replacement for a broken beaker from a coffee press of another brand (L'aroma), and was pleased to see that it fit perfectly.

I bought my original french press at a thrift store for $1.25. Sure, it was a little worn, but the price was right! After a few months' use, disaster struck when a plastic ladle fell on the carafe. The replacement price at Amazon was the best I found, and I knew it would come quickly and safely. The instructions for how to change out the carafe were clear, and imagine my delight when I saw that this pot had the serving water level on the side. I suppose it had rubbed off of the old one. There were also instructions on using the carafe, which were welcome since I had simply winged it before. Even though I had to replace the carafe, I still have a very inexpensive french press.
