This time, I was the one to break the french press. 
The little nut that holds the filter to the rod fell off, leaving the filter at the bottom of the container.
I did fix it eventually, but it was a bit of a challenge, especially without coffee.

I really broke the french press this time. The rubber and filter started to separate and tear. So, we're now on to our third french press. This one should be delivered later this week. http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/b...xx.esn_results

I did not break the beaker on this one, but rather, the plastic/filter started to tear.

I would also recommend getting and/or making a french press cozy. They have them all over etsy and they help to keep the coffee warm for much longer.
My wife made us one out of felt and it keeps the coffee warm for 2-3 times longer, you can also knit one if you are that crafty.
Best of luck!

I usually drink all of it really rather quickly.

I wish I had seen your thread earlier--I have a stainless French press that holds 48oz, and has vacuum walls which keep the coffee hot for hours. I've had it for 6 or 7 years, and the company just replaced the filter part for me at no cost.
