(More customer reviews)I purchased this coffee press in both the 4 cup and the 8 cup models. Both, like the other Bodum coffee presses, make a great cup of coffee, so if you have never tried coffee made this way, I would recommend getting one of the New Kenya models while Amazon has them at a reduced price. However, I would like to caution you about one thing.
One day after receiving the 4 cup press, I broke the glass carafe! Because these units have outsides that are made entirely of plastic (unlike other Bodum models which have holders and/or handles made of stainless steel), the fit around the glass beaker is very tight. The carafe and the plastic holder do need occasional separating while washing, because sometimes during the rinse process, coffee grounds become lodged between the two. I wash mine by hand.
If you are going to separate the two, please do not do so while you are washing them with the dish soap! I had to pull rather hard to get the glass from inside the plastic, with soapy hands, and, well, you can imagine what happened. They did separate, but the glass beaker went flying into the bottom of my sink and then totally shattered...
At the cost of the replacement carafe with the shipping charges, it was just cheaper for me to order a new one! I did do that, but purchased the Bodum Chambord model instead (which does cost more), with the metal holder, and the glass and holder separate very easily for cleaning (much easier than the plastic holder)! Which, by the way, now always occurs before the dish soap is applied!!!
The 8 cup version of the New Kenya press works just fine and the glass is intact, as I separate the components of that model sans dish soap, also. I thought I would share my experience so that perhaps there might be one less person out there saying to themselves, "What was I thinking!?".

Bodum New Kenya 34-Ounce Coffee Press, BlackThe French press coffee maker is accepted worldwide as one of the best methods for brewing coffee and our New Kenya coffee press is sure to deliver not only gourmet coffee flavor, but modern design.The durable and heat-resistant glass beaker is partially encased by the black plastic frame of the New Kenya coffee maker.The frame covers a part of the sides and bottom of the beaker, making it safe for the tabletop without using a trivet or coaster.Simple to use, the French press is a proven method for brewing flavorful and balance coffee.Coffee is measured in 4 oz. cups, so our 8-cup press will brew 34 oz., serving three to four people.For best results, use coarse ground coffee.Just add the appropriate amount of ground coffee to the beaker (we recommend one 7 gram scoop per 4 oz. of water).Fill the beaker with hot water (just off of a boil).Leave about an inch from the top of the beaker.Give the coffee a stir with a plastic or wooden utensil to mix it completely with the water.Set the plunger and lid unit in place with the safety lid in the closed position.Allow the coffee to brew for 4-minutes and then press.Turn the safety lid to the open position, serve and enjoy.Clean up is easy too – just scoop out the grounds with a rubber spatula, and rinse the beaker and filter.There is no paper or additional filter required.The 3-part stainless steel filter system is built right into the press.The stay cool handle is built right into the sturdy New Kenya frame.All parts are dishwasher safe.The New Kenya is also available in 3, 4, and 6 cup sizes.
