Bodum 34-Ounce Coffee Press Replacement Beaker, Glass

Was I heartbroken when I tapped the carafe (lightly) against the plastic garbage can to shake loose some stubborn grounds and heard *that sound*! The fact that replacement carafes are available eased the heartache a little. I'm really glad I read other reviews about ordering the correct size. What I thought was a 4-cup was in fact an 8 cup, so I was able to get the right beaker on the first try. It fits perfectly and I'm back in coffee heaven.

i am satisfied with the product, packaging and delivery. it was a decent price. i use this item daily.

This is a replacement for my replacement(I'm sorta clumsy)but another great product, doesn't differ in any way and is easy to replace in the handle.

I love these things but the glass beaker is far too fragile.
It seems like the slightest bump causes the glass to crack or completely break.

Ordered this as a replacement for a Bodum Chambord 8-cup press that I cracked. Verified that this is the correct part number for my press. Quality control must have been off on the one that I got. I followed the directions to replace the beaker for a Chambord (unscrew the frame and handle, replace glass, put back together) but the beaker is about 1/8" smaller in diameter than the old one and doesn't firmly stay in the frame! I intend to swap the one I was shipped with a new one. I will update this review with the outcome. I really don't want to spend another $30 for a new press.

Amazon sent me the replacement which was noticibly taller, but fit marginally better. After some very gentle and slight bending of the frame, the replacement beaker fit much better. After a few rinses of hot water (which they say loosens and forms the glass slightly... for what it's worth) the beaker was nice and snug once again.
