Read all about it, people - the best glass carafe review EVER!
I like how Amazon forces me to review the most banal things in the world. One day I'll buy a spool of thread and will be forced to review that.
Here's the review you're all waiting on the edge of your seat for - woman (me) breaks glass in bodum coffee press. Woman (me) freaks out then proceeds to succumb to a caffeine-deficient coma for 2 weeks till woman finds glass carafe online as a replacement. The original one took some getting out (with soap) but was finally replaced with this new carafe. What can I say, I'm awake enough to write this review. It did its job. Pricey, though.
Exactly what it says it is
This is a replacement carafe for Bodum's 0.5-Liter French Press. It's identical to the original carafe, and all parts of the press fit just fine. Handles hot water without cracking. Easy to clean by hand or dishwasher.
Caution: this carafe will break if knocked off the counter onto the floor. However, this is not part of the usual coffee brewing process, so I advise you to avoid this situation. If you are unable to avoid knocking your replacement carafe to the ground (eg, due to small destructive children or an absent-minded flatmate), the good news is that you can buy a replacement replacement carafe and everything will be fine!
Bodum Replacement Carafe
Thank goodness Amazon started carrying this product again! I did not want the "unbreakable" plastic carafe that Bodum has offered as a replacement for the original glass. When my former roommate broke the original carafe, I thought it would not be a challenge to locate its replacement. However, around that time, the Chambord 4 Cup French Press was no longer on Bodum's website with a glass carafe replacement. The reviews for the plastic are mostly the same complaints about scratching and eventually breaking the "unbreakable" due to stress fractures. In addition, coffee oils are much better when they are fresh and plastic hangs onto the oils and most people do not like to use soap on their coffee equipment. Borosilicate is the king!
