An important piece of advise, a French press coffee maker does not make a very good catcher's mitt. This morning as I began the morning ritual of getting ready for breakfast the unthinkable happened. I broke the glass container of the coffee maker. Hazel, the cat had been brushed and fed, now it was time to get my breakfast. My usual ritual is to put the Brita water in the microwave to heat to the appropriate temperature. The next step is to get out he coffemaker. It is kept in an upper storage cabinet. Today there were a number of small items in the way. The shelf space will not accommodate the coffee maker with the top on so I keep the side by side. I removed the pot and was holding it in my left hand while removing the top. It was than that I discovered that a small, plastic container of Aleve has a lot of strength. I accidentally bumped it and, without even trying, caught it in the pot. Much to my chagrin and disappointment, the glass broke.
Well that does it. No coffee for me today. I went to the web site for the company that sells that particular model. I had to send them an email to ask for information on a replacement. I have already received a response. They have discontinued that model.
Well, I guess my other online research will pay off. It is time to visit Bed, Bath and Beyond and pick up the 8-cup version of the Bordum Chambord French Press.
Wouldn't you know it, the flyer we received from Bed, Bath and Beyond yesterday had a $5 off coupon in it. I can foresee a trip in the offing. I just hope I can wait that long. Thank goodness I drink decaf so there won't be any withdrawal problems.

I'll have to make note to NOT grab the french press when we are playing catch with random objects in the kitchen.
Sad to hear you had to bid your friend goodbye. Do you not have your old drip pot anymore?
I used the old faithful pot this morning. We have already decided on a new French Press.
