Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum 34-Ounce Coffee Press Replacement Beaker, Glass
Customer Review: Perfect fit
Summary: 4 Stars
Perfect fit in my Krupps press. As has been mentioned before, Bodum's beaker sizing is a little misleading. The 8-cup size is your average-sized press and means 8 4-oz "cups," not the normal 8-oz cups. 4-oz is a pretty small cup of coffee; seems that most mugs are about 8-oz. So if you're thinking, "I never get 8 cups of coffee out of my press, it's more like 3 or 4 full mugs," this is probably the right caraffe.Customer Review: French press coffee is the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't use a regular coffee maker in a year. Best coffee you'll ever have. Very easy.Bodum is the best.Customer Review: Didn't fit frame
Summary: 2 Stars
I made sure to order the right volume replacement beaker for the frame of my Bodum press, but it proved to be too small for the frame and a bit too narrow for the plunger (it could be forced through, but scraped the inside of the beaker). The frame is a bit adjustable but tightening it down didn't suffice, the beaker slid out and broke while I was pouring from it just 2 days after it finally arrived. Tragic.Customer Review: Amazon has poor descriptions for this item
Summary: 1 Stars
Searching Google, Amazon displays Bodum replacement glasses at the top of the list and for the best price. BUT BEWARE! Unlike the Bodum site, Amazon merely states the "cup" size - which is, at best, inaccurate. A Bodum "cup" is 4 ounces, not 8. The Bodum site states all dimensions (diameter, height, fluid ounce capacity, "cup" description), and costs only a little more.
If you order with other items to save shipping (SuperSaver), Amazon often has this item back-ordered (that was my experience and, in retrospect, what I found in the reviews). That means you pay for the shipping, get the wrong item, and have to return it and pay for shipping again for the correct item.
It would be nice to be able to order a simple replacement based on the item description and not have to read a review of a replacement glass for a coffee pot. A review for a book I can understand, but - PLEASE - this is a unique replacement item. It is possible at the Bodum site to find the correct description, but not here. There also doesn't appear to be a way to suggest changes to the item description, so I am writing this negative review in hope that someone does not make the same mistake that I and many others ordering this item at Amazon have made.
