new French press convert here
 

Hey all I just picked up my new Bodum French Press 8 cup with the 2pc bodum insulated cups. I just made the first pot and must say, "why did I wait so long to get one of these!?!?!?!?!" I have been wanting to get one of these for the longest time but never had gotten around to it. Needless to say I am happy with the purchase.

just figured that I would let you guys know
:ss

Thanks. I'm glad your enjoying it. I use mine every morning.

After about 4 years, mine finally got a chip in the glass. Looks like I need to replace mine.

Re: new French press convert here
 

Stop at one of those stone chip repair places on the side of the road, have them fix it and bill your car insurance.

Re: new French press convert here
 

Hmmmm...might have to compare that cost vs a new press.

Re: new French press convert here
 

Glad you got it... where are the pics? :D

Have you got a Bodum cafetiere? if so, you can usually buy replacement glass.

Love the press when espresso and moka go quiet. Consider a press from the Bodum/Columbia line of stainless insulated presses if you can't find a replacement beaker. They are spectacular, come in many sizes, and will not chip. Dent, maybe - but never chip.

I have a barista thermal press and it's a tank. I'm not sure how much they cost compared to the glass presses since I didn't buy it myself, but I would buy another if I had to.

I got my first prench press for the holidays and I love it. I got tired of paying for them at Casa Fuente. the brand of coffee they serve there is available here at Whole Food, but I am working my way through some Starbucks. Mayhaps a review is in my future.
