Although this was a little pricier than I would have liked, the replacement beaker fits, and I'm glad I could order one after breaking the original.
Seems more durable.Doesn't fit in the plastic holder as tight as the old one.Although it seems more durable, it is glass and I fully expect it will break again. I've replaced this twice now. The new one is actually thicker glass.
I suggest buying a press AND a replacement right away.Now, if Bodum wanted to do something NICE, they could create a plexiglass beaker that fits the rest of the parts. Wanting French Press coffee this creates something of a deal with the devil. Of course, then they couldn't keep selling replacements. OK, you sneeze and they break. Only reason I bought another was because they keep breaking.
To be honest, I would have ordered a different brand if they had at least an eight or ten cup capacity. We love our pressed coffee, and the Bodum pot works great. How about using pyrex like glass. All the other pots were too small. The problem is worrying every single time I clean it, that it will break. So it happened, and I have ordered a new one.
THe new one is the same size as the original one was from ten or twelve years ago, so the plunger fits very nicely, etc. What can you say - if you need a replacement bodum glass, then there is nothing quite like a replacement bodum glass. I dropped the old one down the stairs.
