What Others Say
Replacement Just Like Original
I've only had this replacement glass a few weeks, but it seems to be identical to the original it replaced. The original lasted about 6 years, and only bit the dust due to careless dishwasher loading my one of my family members.
It's a replacement--what's the question?
If you need a replacement beaker for your Bodum glass coffee press, this is it. It fits fine in the cage, just like the original one. If you think I'm going to say "don't buy this because the coffeemaker is no good" why would I? If I thought that, I would not buy a replacement and I would not bother to come here and lecture you about it. Rather, I'd do a good review for a coffeemaker I DID like, after chucking this one out. Yes I would. And I am not going to tell you, "glass breaks so be careful" either because--you know--that's obvious. So, if you break your Bodum, get this replacement beaker instead of a whole coffeemaker. Unless you threw it away before thinking, "Maybe I could just buy a new glass thingie."

Inaccurate Description
"Product Features" are inaccurate: "Fits all Bodum 4-cup coffee press models and styles". Bodum's 4-cup Melior model is a different size. Bodum does not offer replaceable glass beakers for models that have been discontinued. This is terrible customer service, especially considering that sooner or later glass beakers will break.
Bodaum Repladement 4 Cup Glass Beaker
It fits OK but it a little bid tighter, and is difficult to remove for the washing purpose. It is not the same as was original one, makes a noise
when glass sliding in the metal parts of the Press.
Glass Breaks Too Easily
If you are thinking of buying Bodum Replacement 4 Cup Glass Coffee Press Beaker-- you already know the Glass Breaks. You may think you did something wrong, but the problem is that the special BoroSilicate glass Bodum uses is much too fragile, and apparently breaks for no reason at all. Or perhaps the reason is that unlike normal glass which is one of the hardest substances known, this glass scratches easily if it comes in contact with any metal or other hard surface, and then subsequently shatters.
So Instead of buying this replacement beaker, which I assure you will only be the first of many, get a new press made of unbreakable plastic LEXAN or one made of a different and less fragile type of glass.
