great replacement, save you the money from buying new press. I have no complaint.

I am fussy about my coffee and choose to prepare it in a french press every morning. In-spite of careful daily handling, accidents still happen and replacement beakers were needed for both of my Bodum french presses. None were available in the stores in my area, so I placed an order with Amazon and four days later, I was enjoying my coffee again. This beaker is identical to the original in my Bodum french press. Thank you for saving my day!

Yes, the beaker breaks if you slam it into other dishes while loading the dishwasher (ok, so I'm a klutz). However, it's still worth the $10. We used ours 3 times a day, 7 days a week, and it lasted close to a year. We have other size Bodum French presses, plus some of their pots and pans (with the cool see thru lids) - love this company, their style and their commitment to produce excellence.

So happy to be able to replace my original broken beaker. I wish there was an unbreakable replacement, as this is the second time that I have broken one. Still, can't live without my Bodums!

If you are thinking of buying this product-- you already know the Glass Breaks. You may think you did something wrong, but the problem is that the special BoroSilicate glass Bodum uses is much too fragile, and apparently breaks for no reason at all. Or perhaps the reason is that unlike normal glass which is one of the hardest substances known, this glass scratches easily if it comes in contact with any metal or other hard surface, and then subsequently shatters.

So Instead of buying this replacement beaker, which I assure you will only be the first of many, get a new press made of unbreakable plastic LEXAN or one made of a different and less fragile type of glass.
