I'm in the market for a new french press ASAP... Mr. Kipper, in typical Marine fashion, while trying to disassemble it to clean it, apparently thought it was much like trying to field strip an M16, and used brute force to tilt the handle away from the carafe, to remove the carafe. In doing that, he managed to break the glass.
As such, I think we've decided that stainless steel is a must. We did stop at 3 different stores this morning, but we were not able to find stainless steel, just glass.
I think I'm just going to order this
one.
