Editorial Review :

If you have a broken beaker, there is no need to replace the entire coffee press. You can buy a replacement beaker and be on your way to brewing great coffee again in no time. The 12 Cup replacement beaker fits all styles of the BODUM 12 Cup Coffee Press.

Customer Review :

It's fragile

OK, you sneeze and they break. Only reason I bought another was because they keep breaking. Wanting French Press coffee this creates something of a deal with the devil. 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. Of course, then they couldn't keep selling replacements.

Rating :

it's what I expected

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.

Rating :

More robust than the original--but still glass!

I've replaced this twice now. The new one is actually thicker glass. 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.

An awesome glass beaker

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. 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.

Rating :

Too fragile!

We love our pressed coffee, and the Bodum pot works great. The problem is worrying every single time I clean it, that it will break. So it happened, and I have ordered a new one. To be honest, I would have ordered a different brand if they had at least an eight or ten cup capacity. All the other pots were too small. How about using pyrex like glass?

It is what it is

It's a replacement. These things break. It is much like its predecessor. Just as expensive.

Rating :

It's a thicker glass, the tight fit in the holder led to it's demise.

I knew the glass was thicker the moment I felt it. It fit much tighter in it's holder. The other day I put the disassembled press back together and as I was boiling water for coffee, I heard a "chinx" noise. Upon looking at the glass I noticed a horse shoe shaped crack eminating from the bottom where it is seated in the holder. I was still able to make that cup of coffee, but that was the last time. I may take a picture of it and post it in a further review. If you buy this and notice the fit is tight, you may want to sand the holder or scrape some plastic off it so it does not fit so tight. Good luck.

Bodum Glass Beaker 3 cup

I was mislead by the 3 cup description. This 3 cup means three four ounce meansurements which came to a 12 ounce capacity. There was no way to know by the description that this was what I was ordering. I also found that some of the Peets Coffee stores carry them in stock.

Rating :

Same as the original - that's all that matters.

An item like this is either right or wrong. This replacement beaker for a broken one (as they are all eventually destined to be) fits just like the original so it's "right".

Works just fine

After getting the press on a lark, I used it a few weeks and accidentially broke the glass. I bought this replacement and then went back to a tradtional drip maker. A year or 2 later the drip maker died and I went back to the press until I found another coffee maker I liked. I've been using the press now everyday for a couple of months with no further issues with the glass. I throw the glass and metal stand in the dishwasher as a single piece and it's not broken yet.

Editorial Review :

Bodum's French press makes it easy: coffee, water, wait, enjoy. Simply measure out one rounded tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee per 4-ounce cup, pour in the hot water, wait a few minutes for it to brew, and slowly press down the plunger. Next comes the best part, as you get to enjoy a cup of rich and aromatic coffee. Because of its 8-cup capacity and elegant design, this French press is great for dinner parties, where you can now brew your guests' coffee right at the table. Bodum has been in the coffee business for decades, and the company continues to produce stylish, affordable, and reliable products.

mmm...coffee

French press is by far the best way to brew a nice strong cup of coffee. Plus, the press is much more compact than a large coffee machine...perfect for small city kitchens!

Great coffee! Bonus glasses are great

The bodum 8 cup makes great coffee for multiple people. At a recent dinner party, guests were impressed with the process of creating french press coffee, as well as the coffee. The pavina thermal glasses were also a great bonus. The product looks and feels high quality. Ordering and receiving it was simple.

Great product

I'm a tea drinker, and the Bodum press pots are the best ever for making tea (or coffee). They're simple to use, and easy to clean. This particular model is especially nice (and it's Bodum's original model too) since it's so clean-lined, elegant, and keeps the tea clear and leaf-free. The insulated cups keep your fingers from the hot beverage, and look good too. The glass inserts are washable, do not retain odors or flavors, and very easily replaceable. All around, a good deal.

Overall very wonderful but one small aesthetic issue

First of all, my glasses were NOT broken (whenever I buy a product I always search the worst reviews first and for this product the main issue were that the glasses arrived shattered). Granted they are very fragile so you cannot drop ice cubes in them or stir the liquid in them too vigorously.

Now, as far as the press goes it is very well made. The mesh on the bottom is very fine allowing me to grind my coffee beans much more and get much more flavor out of them.

The only (very small) aesthetic problem that I have with this press is that they have put writing all the way up the back in white letters. Yes, it sounds small (because it is) which is why I didn't dock any stars. I like clean looking appliances in my home and I find that the writing makes it look a little tacky. It is not debilitating, it doesn't detract from the quality, it is purely me being nit picky about what goes on my table when the girls come over for breakfast. Most people wouldn't care but I (by far a minority) would have liked to know this before I purchased.

Very happy with my purchase ! My only complain is that the cup is not marked and it is a little bit of a challenge to judge the meajurments, but I figured it out. The glasses are great.

Perfect fit!

After looking around retail stores for a replacement carafe, I found this one and it was a perfect fit...no need to take apart the handle and holder like the instructions called for. Nice.

Fantastic!

I have had my French press for over 5 years and the carafe broke recently. I was worried about getting a carafe online, because I was concerned it might not fit. When this came, I found that it was better than the original one. It fits better in the holder and it's easy to clean. It's snug, so the carafe doesn't slide out as easily, which was the problem with the original one. I love it and if this one should break in a fall, I would buy it again and again and recommend it to friends.

Broke After 1-2 months

I ordered this in mid-December, and now the carafe is broken on Feb. 17th. I used it two or three times per week. But today it broke for no apparent reason. I poured in the hot water, and after 10 minutes pushed the plunger down. 5 minutes after that, I poured myself a cup. Then, about two minutes after I set the press back down on my desk the carafe cracked down the middle and coffee started pouring all over my desk. This is a poorly made carafe.

It works

Short review - I broke the original after several years, bought two of these replacements, and am perfectly satisfied. Make sure you order the right size, otherwise, no worries.

Excellent French Press in spite of it's causing the world to come to an end

OK, I have owned one of the Bonjour Hugo 3 cup glass presses for years and have never had any trouble out of it. I carry it in the car with me and use it every day.

But, thousands of cups of coffee later, I finally decided to buy one which is a little bigger for use at home making coffee for more than one person. I bought a cheapie at Tuesday Morning for $6 and got good use out of it for a while. Then, while washing it, the carafe slipped out of the plastic frame and landed in the sink with a crash, half the pieces ending up in the garbage disposal. What a pain in the a$$ it was picking the shards of glass out of that thing. But I guess it was inevitable.

So when I saw the "unbreakable" polycarbonate by Bonjour I went ahead and bought one. I wish I had read the reviews first, it is uncharacteristic of me not to do so, but that is water under the bridge. But that said, I have used it many times now and have not had any trouble with it......yet. I will be very careful with the plastic strainer, which I must admit I was never all that fond of in the first place. Honestly, I expected it to have a limited lifespan not because of the plastic strainer frame but from the silicone o-ring around the frame which will clearly not last forever and will probably not be available as a replacement part. But, being made out of polycarbonate, it has already outlasted my previous large french press. If the strainer frame outlasts the o-ring I will feel like I have gotten my money's worth out of the thing.

Now, the "other" downside has already been mentioned by at least one other reviewer, and that is that it cools off VERY quickly. So if you are going to make coffee for yourself only, drink up or you will be reheating it in the microwave. It is for THIS reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, since I do like the overall design, especially the additional strainer in the lid. That feature alone is worth it's weight in gold.

P.S. All you fruitcakes out there howling about Bis-A leached from your press carafe causing CANCER, you have been watching too much alarmist propaganda passing under the guise of "news". Turn off the damn TV and get a life. In the first place, a properly made PC will not leach Bis-A at more than low parts per billion level, at which it is harmless. You would have to drink thousands of gallons of coffee a day to get enough Bis-A to cause any harm. Secondly, Bis-A is an estrogen mimicker, not a carcinogen. So, guys, if you have not sprouted a pair of hooters from using your french press, you are safe. Girls, you have nothing to worry about, drink up.

Screen disintegrated after a few months

The carafe may be unbreakable, but the screen on the stainless-steel filter rod disintegrated several months after I bought it. I now wish that I had bought something durable, which this is not.

Works very well. I am worried that since it's made from plastic it will give me the cancer.

Good Coffee

BonJour 8 Cup Unbreakable French Press. Ok, this thing is made of Polycarbonate. It could be a big risk of BPA. I wanted to try a French press so I got this one.
I boiled water, ground grinds. I then put the water and grinds in the press. Pushed down the strainer and poured the coffee into a cup and the rest of the coffee into a thermos.
It was very good coffee. I then came here found out about the cancer risk of BPA and took it back after one use.
I then ran a test to see if I could do this. I boiled water in the same stainless steel pan added coffee grounds. Let the grounds seep for 4 minutes. I poured the liquid through a large strainer to catch the ground. Then I poured that liquid through a smaller strainer into the thermos. The clean up was much easier. The coffee was ok but did not have as good flavor as the BonJour. I guess my plan needs work. I did prove that you do not have to have this French press on any French press to make your own. This is a dangerous process though with hot water. You must be very careful to do it.
Note: The coffee from the one cup of BonJour was a 5. Cancer risk a -5. So I gave it a 1.
P.S. My coffee was a 2.5 :) I am still scratching my head.
Conclusion:
I have a lot to learn on coffee making.

DON'T buy this

Seriously, don't do it. I read the reviews and most of them said it was sturdy and I did read about a problem with the plastic piece on the plunger. I had mine for three weeks (I bought it because it was called unbreakable) and the plastic piece that houses the plunger broke out of nowhere! Sure the container is unbreakable, but the rest of it is junk!
