Fit perfect. I was worried that the carafe might not fit my vintage coffee press since I didn't know the original brand. No problem.
Shipping was fast on replacement and so far no problems. The overall design is good, just suggest a thicker/stronger glass. Mine cracked rite at the spout (dont know what caused it) the got longer over time so got the replacement.
If a customer has broken his or her beaker that information may not be available so the Bodum product numbers should also be provided. As it is, if a mistake is made the customer must pay the postage for the return as well as for any followup order. The descriptions of these replacement beakers is inconsistent and make ordering a challenge. All this information is available on the Bodum website but is hard to transpose elsewhere. In the meantime your otherwise excellent press is "beakerless" and unusable. Some confuse U.S. and European cups while others list "ounces." Total capacity in ounces should be listed as well as dimensions in inches.
8 cups as it turns out is a 32 oz size, but I never see "6-cup" pots advertised so I had to return these. It is impossible to know whether these glass carafes are the correct size for replacements without knowing the number of ounces they hold. But it is really tough to find 20 oz carafes so I took my chance.oh well. Making a random guess on-line sucks, has taken more time and cost me money and I still do not have what I needed. The cups are an arbitrary volume that is specific to some standard that I am not familiar with, and therefore I had to guess at which "cup" size would be the same as my known 20 oz. press pot.
the price on amazon was right as well. needed another beaker for my french press and the delivery (to Hawaii) was really fast. The Bodum site wanted a crazy amount of shipping.
