Bodum 51oz Spare Carafe for French Press, High-Heat Borosilicate Glass

There's not much more to add than it made my French press whole again.

Authentic Bodum glass. Before buying check if you need a spout or spout-less glass. With the spout the glass would not fit into my French press. Had to return and reorder.

Actual Bodum product received. Fits Bodum 51oz Chambord French Press Coffee Maker perfectly.

The carafe arrived in perfect shape as the packaging was protective enough. It's just like the promo pictures, what I expected! I will definitely keep buying Bodum!

We love our French Press, but I have a habit of breaking at least 2 pieces of glassware a month, so of course this carafe is no exception. I just keep a spare around at all times - lol. This is a recommended coffee press from Cook's Illustrated, who wrote: "Tasters praised the coffee from this classic pot: “good flavor, lots of sediment,” with a “pleasant” taste and a “slightly richer,” “not-too-thin texture.” It’s easy and straightforward to set up and clean. But the thin glass walls of this traditional press lost heat faster than insulated pots did. It does a great job if you’re drinking the coffee right away, but it cools off quickly." Their favorite French Press, however, is the Bodum Columbia French Press Coffee Maker, Double Wall, 8 Cup: "This thick, insulated pot was as simple to use as a traditional glass press, but it kept coffee hotter much longer. It’s also sturdier, with a round, comfortable handle. It took top honors in our tasting, producing coffee that tasters called “rich,” “rounded,” “nutty,” and “full-bodied.” Note: This model might temporarily become harder to find. The manufacturer has confirmed it is not discontinued, but it unfortunately will not be back in stock until early 2015."Cook's Illustrated never steers me wrong; this thing makes some GOOD coffee and my husband gets fresh-brewed every morning made by yours truly :)

I love this product for the size of a large French Press. It's perfect for two people or one coffee obsessed person! My only complaint is its durability. I find myself re-ordering it about every 18 months. I've never dropped it but it has cracked with use over time.

The Frnech Press I have, was cracked and not knowing where to get a replacement Carafe, I turned to Amazone and voila there it was. When inserting it, becareful, it is a tight fit. You may have to loosen the metal band a little more and gentle push it down. I do not know if there are non Bodum Carafes are available, but I would not advise them. This is the one you want.

I was purchasing a slightly cheaper carafe, and I would accidentally break it every few months. After going through a handful of those, I tried this brand. The durability is noticeably better. I finally broke the first one after two years and immediately purchased another of this brand. Would recommend.
