    I've just had to mourn the loss of yet another bodum kenya 3-cup french press due to glass breakage. Is stainless stell or ceramic the way to go for no more tears? Any downsides with these kinds i.e. is there a good reason why most are made from glass? Any recommendations?

    Home Store + More in Belgard and Airside stock a couple of stainless steel
    models, like yourself I was constantly breaking the glass versions -
    don't think the dishwasher is good for them.

    I can't see any disadvantage in using the stainless steel compared
    to the glass and it's so much easier being able to use the
    dishwasher to clean. I picked mine up last year and will never
    buy glass again.

    That's the dishwashers fault guys. I wouldn't put any non-toughened glass into it.

    I use a stainless steel one - very robust!

    i've seen some bodum french press models with pyrex, i have a glass jug thingy in mine, i was wondering can you just switch pyrex for glass if you have the right sized beaker thingy?
