If your press has a metal plunger you'll need to buy their silicone-edged plunger when you change to the plastic beaker, otherwise the sides of the plastic unit will become scratched and cracked in a relatively short timeUpdate: We're on our third plastic beaker in 15 months. The first one cracked because we hadn't switched to a silicone-edge plunger(above). The second unit lasted longer but then cracked as well. After getting the third plastic one I talked with a Bodum and he said that I must be sure to wait 45 seconds after the water has boiled before pouring it into the beaker, and that the water must not touch the sides when pouring. BTW, he agreed to send me a free backup beaker.

I opted for the "shatterproof" model when I bought my first Bodum; not quite understanding at the time that their "polycarbonate" meant "plastic" -- so it wasn't as "elegant" as the French press coffee-makers I had seen around. But given the number of glass drip carafes we've gone through before I went to press coffee, I wasn't too disappointed. It's held up very well, especially considering that I grind my coffe myself and do it way too fine, so it takes extra *oomph* to get the press down! It is time for a replacement now, since my original has developed stress cracks radiating from the center bottom. It's not yet affecting it's function, but I'm afraid it's a matter of time... It's been through the dishwasher, though, countless times; and has probably hit the floor once or twice!

Do not waste your money on this item! I purchased the beaker so that I would not have to replace glass ones, which I have broken while washing in the sink (once someone "poured" it out of the holder and broke it). By my 3rd glass replacement beaker, I decided to buy the plastic. It cracks laterally, all around the beaker. You can hear it splitting, and this occurs only in a few weeks. Plus they are more expensive. Rip off!! I'm simply going to have to be more careful with my glass beakers.
