Bodum 12oz Spare Carafe for French Press, High-Heat Borosilicate Glass

Was hard to find replacement for my small Starbucks coffee press. This one did the trick. You are welcome for finding this!👍🏽

Like many others who are ordering or have purchased the Bodum Spare Glass Carafe for French Press Coffee Maker, 3-Cup, 0.35-Liter, 12-Ounce (3-Cup in Bodum world is NOT 3 Starbucks size cups or mugs), my purchase was to replace the glass which I broke into many little shards and pieces. I waited several weeks before breaking down and buying another and I can act as encouragement for getting one if you have the housing and no carafe. I received a genuine Bodum replacement inside a box which fit smoothly into my French press. I will also add that I purchased a "used" product from Amazon Warehouse and I couldn't be happier by saving a little money, too. The packaging contains a recommendation that if the fit is tight, one should soak the glass in hot water to aid in its fit. I found that by not rinsing the soap from the carafe after initially washing it, it slid in with ease. I then rinsed the entire French press. I would not hesitate to replace my filter screen when the time comes because this little press is wonderful for coffee and tea leaves, it's easy to clean, and I've found it to be much appreciated, especially when I ran out of Chemex paper filters for my drip carafe. With these two coffee systems, I'm all set any time the power goes out and my neighbors know they can always receive a tasty warm beverage in my home even if we enjoy it by candle or flashlight.

I was so glad to find that this French press glass carafe replacement is still available. Was what I needed for my once-a-day, dark brew, espresso-like coffee.

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 :)

It fits fairly close so all in all I'm happy. Initially I thought the thicker glass would make the carafe not fit in the unit but it slides in fine. The original was very thin glass and you just knew it would eventually break though it lasted 9 yrs. It's also taller as you can see in the photos but everything fits together. Obviously it's glass so it's easy to clean.

It's great to get a replacement just for the broken carafe, and not needing to buy a whole new French Press.

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!

I accidentally broke the carafe on my french press yesterday evening, an old 12 oz Bodum. This replacement arrived in less than 16 hours, time enough still for some morning coffee. The carafe fits the frame perfectly, and was easier to put in than the broken one was to remove. The glass even has the same instructions printed on it as the original; you wouldn't know the press was any different from yesterday morning.One additional discovery: if I remember correctly, the product description on the site here says this carafe is made in China, but actually its box says it's made in Germany.
