I received a Bodum 10 cup glass one as a gift.  I had it over a year, and loved the coffee it makes. I got used to having this great coffee (I like it strong). 
    Then I got 2 very lively Highland Lynx kittens.  They both jumped up on the counter one morning, and no more glass coffee maker, and a big mess to clean up!  
    This Bodum Columbia 12 Cup Double Wall Stainless Steel French Press Coffeemaker coffee makes just as good  of coffee as the glass one, but MORE of it.  It is MUCH easier to clean, the filter can be disassembled and cleaned if needed.  The stainless and body configuration has been claimed 'very attractive' by guests. And most of all, it cannot break!  There is a saying, "When You Pay For QUALITY, You ONLY cry once"  Buy it!!!
