glass broke

I dropped the original onemail in the sink breaking the glass

Good frech press, but the glass is quite delicate so be careful.

Then, the glass is safer and not as fragile.

My biggest gripe is that if you break the glass, you cannot buy a replacement without ordering a new complete set.

exactly like the one I use.)I don't use a dishwasher (partly because I don't have one) to clean it, I make sure to cool down the glass before I rinse the grounds out, and I use a wooden spoon to stir the grounds when I first mix the grounds with the hot water (to avoid scratching/weakening the glass)

The glass broke after literally one month of use

It is a shame that a quality brand is using such insignificant glass.

Upon inspection, the glass had split from top to bottom, right through the directions he had just read

Sometimes I want to take the glass out and clean it, but in order to that I have to spin it around in the plastic until the spout lines up with the handle

I break at least one a year (delicate glass

It feels as if I'm going to break the glass and have hot coffee flying everywhere

Resistant to temperature changes; very strong glass composition that will not cloud or stain from use

Then out of nowhere, when I picked it up to pour a cup of coffee, the glass just broke

I've never broken the glass on one of these, it's truly bulletproof

Bodum seems to have better glass than the other french presses in this price point - and though it is a plastic handle/bottom, which is a tough hard to snap off to clean underneath, I dont seem to have the issues with the glass and boiling water that others have at this price point.

The glass surprisingly keeps everything hot while the coffee is brewing

The glass wasn't hot and was being washed with lukewarm water.

I love that the glass is durable and dishwasher safe!!

The glass has already chipped/cracked on my press

We r not supposed to press it too hard anyways as it will build up the pressure under and potentially crack the glass

I like that the glass isn't detachable, personally, because again, I hate using my parents' press because the glass keeps turning and shifting around because of its detachable nature, which makes me nervous about pouring out of it

the glass shatters

By grabbing the handle normally, it is so close to the glass that my hand was in contact with the glass (hot from boiling water)

The glass cracked after the second use

The plastic is a little cheap, but solid Bodum glass

Cleans very easily, beautiful clear glass.

I make Sun Tea all the time... put tea bags into a nice glass container and let the sun do its deed

Works great, glass is fragile though

Works great, glass is fragile though

GLASS, so you don't have to worry about plastic stuff.

The plastic is a little cheap, but solid Bodum glass

For perspective, I also hand wash our fancy wine glasses and have broken very few of them over the years.

On the 3rd or 4th use, the glass BROKE

Just falling over 90 degrees onto its side on the counter was enough to shatter the glass

I like that the glass isn't detachable, personally, because again, I hate using my parents' press because the glass keeps turning and shifting around because of its detachable nature, which makes me nervous about pouring out of it

It did not sustain any banging or the like so it may just have been due to thermal shock but the glass wasn't cold to begin with.

I purchased it to replace my 20 year old Bodium after I dropped it and shattered the glass

The main flaw (fragile glass vessel rather than durable steel) is my fault, I should have spent a few dollars more.

Also, I already broke the glass on mine just by trying to pull it out

Stress fractures the glassThe base is SO TIGHT that it will not casually accept replacement glass, and also, is prone to stress fracturing the glass

I rinse the hot glass with normal cold tap water.

Glass cracked - AGAIN!

My first Bodum french press was purchased in 2000, and used it for the last 17+ years with no issues till i accidentally broke the glass by dropping it

The glass shattered while washing it after only 3 weeks of use.

When I recently broke the glass of a metal version I decided to replace it with this plastic version

It's easy to clean and the glass is strong.

It also looks good; I like the bright red plastic and glass

This will cool the glass slowly.

Glass is frail

This will cool the glass slowly.

I'm replacing this with another Bodum, a version with side guards to better protect the glass.

Glass is fairly durable and the entire press is super easy to clean

The glass broke

Only complaint is that taking the beaker out of the plastic frame is very difficult and feels like your gonna break the glass, so I just don't take it out...

The glass is weak.

The glass is solid and durable and the plastic material is well made and fits the product excellently

Make sure not to use a metal spoon to stir it so you don't damage the glass

It scrapes and scratches the inside glass every time it moves

The only reason I got this one is I broke the glass via launching it off the counter.

exactly like the one I use.)I don't use a dishwasher (partly because I don't have one) to clean it, I make sure to cool down the glass before I rinse the grounds out, and I use a wooden spoon to stir the grounds when I first mix the grounds with the hot water (to avoid scratching/weakening the glass)

I kept breaking my Bodum (separate glass in metal frame) and I haven't broken this one yet.

I recently broke the glass on an existing coffee maker and discarded everything else.

I like that it is surrounded by plastic, so even if it tips over, the glass is still protected.

The glass was cracked when I took it out of the dishwasher

The glass is ver thin so the whole pitcher broke after 3 months

The glass feels a little chintzy.

It's OK, but the glass gets brittle after time and will crack, I have since obtained a stainless steel French press.

This should not have happened, and would not have happened if the glass were more solid, or if it had plastic around its side.

The glass on all of their products is just too fragile (non-tempered?), as they break or shatter from normal bumps or spills in the sink

Sturdy, safe glass

This is my 3rd one as I broke the glass on the other 2.

I broke the glass on the Mr. Coffee and saved the rest of the "parts".Glad I did

The glass seems very sturdy, unless dropped from waist height (farewell travel press, we barely knew you)

but as I learned the hard way, the glass is inferior.

Glass shattered after one month of use

Glass broke after a relatively soft fall from counter height, so I'm not impressed with the durability.

I had to purchase this for my husband after I cracked the glass on our other, more expensive one

I feel like the thin glass will break as I try to wrestle it out of the base

The glass cracked within 6 months

I've been breaking the glass ones where the glass piece can be pulled out of it's handle structure

When moving up and down, it keeps scratching the glass

These days I use the cooler to protect the glass when traveling

The glass is very brittle, and it just shattered one day

Glass shattered while washing it in the sink

glass cracked within 3 months-followed instructions, not dropped-very disappointing

(I broke the glass in the sink) never made enough, so I found myself making a second half ‘pot’ of coffee

After 2 months of very light use, the glass cracked

It seems like the glass should separate from the plastic for clean

Be careful because the glass feels like it could break easily so I wouldnt recommend "slapping" it to get the coffee out

The Ability to CountStep 1: Measure out 60g of your favorite coffee beans and grind to a coarse grind (about 60-70 turns with the Morning Grind Grinder on coarse setting)

I am used to large mugs of Brown Gold, so this size disappoints as to quantity filling only 75% of one 12 oz mug, which may be OK for you if you add creamer or milk, but I have been taking mine black for nearly a year now

It broke as I was putting the handle back over the rim, and did a little damage to me

Works as I knew it would

The coffee grounds only need to be coarse ground as to not clog the filter.

So I’m really confused as to why it is advertised as an 8 cup.
