bodumChambord French Press Coffee Maker, 17 Ounce, Chrome

Base plate changed from metal to plastic to make more profits

I originally bought this one because my previous one cracked. I read that this one was crack resistant and all that. Which it is, so far no crack in sight. I’ve been using this for a good amount of time now and so far been happy. However few mornings ago I made my coffee as I normally would and left to get ready. When I came back to our my coffee there was coffee all around the press. At first I thought there was a crack at the bottom but after picking it up and cleaning it I’d isn’t see anything and when I put water in there to test out nothing happened. I tried with hot water too. The next morning I ran into the same problem where there was coffee over the counter again. I’m not sure what happened because I don’t see any cracks and with hot water nothing happens. Other than that I think it a good deal.

I bought this to replace my previous one which I had cracked but duct taped and continued to use Anyway. As some have noted the glass is noticeably thinner than other versions I've had and has an odd almost non glass feel to it (though not unpleasant). I've only had it for a few months (hence the 4 stars as I've had less than a year so can't speak to overall durability) but I am a long haul truck driver and so far it has held up being bounced around on some of the worst roads in the country with no damage so I suspect that as long as you take reasonable care it should last many years.

I purchased this product as a replacement for another french press I had. My previous one was glass as most french presses are. While that's fine, my wife (who hopefully won't read this) occasionally drops dishes while washing them which has led to me replacing my carafes a couple of times.After the most recent event, I decided to try something a little more durable and got this plastic one. I've had it about two months and so far have had no issues. It holds up well to boiling water and has shown no sign of warping or damage. Also it's already been dropped it and it was no worse for wear!The plastic gets swirl marks easier than glass so it already has a "foggy" appearance. Not a problem for me, but figured it was worth mentioning.Amazon asked me to rate it's blending power, had to give it a one star since it's not a blender. That said if you bought this to blend things then that's on you.

Gostei, só precisa tomar cuidado na hora de limpar, pois risca um pouco.

If I somehow cracked the shatterproof version of this press what do I win?
