Is this coffee maker shipped with a "secure" wrapping and boxing to avoid any breaks of those glass?

mine was shipped with a layer of bubble-wrap anywhere glass touched glass, there's a cardboard holder to secure the siphon, but it can't move much to begin with, and it's a tight fit in its box, it was also shipped in a box, and i believe it had packing peanuts around itbut it is not surrounded by styrofoam, there is a very small chance that it can break, particularly if dropped during shipping

I have bought several Yama vac pots over the years. I've never had a problem with breakage during the shipping process. I always break mine after I get them!! Vacuum brewing makes "THE BEST" cup of coffee! Jim

The glass vessel on the top left hand side of the coffee maker was cracked when we received it and we cannot replace it here in NZ we did not break it it arrived like that and we do not think we should have to pay to replace it!

Mine came shrink wrapped together which resulted in scratched cups and one broken lid.

This machine will ship in manufacturer packaging which has sufficient padding. There is always a chance for things to break during shipping but when they do we always ship out new product or issue a refund. However, we have not had problems shipping this machine so far.

Mine is glass, it has nice plastic that protects the glass but the coffee is made in the glass part.

Our coffee was excellent, but I don't remember it arriving "as hard as a brick". They do vacuum pack their coffee, which sometimes is rather brick-like until opened. My opinion is it's normal.

I don't quite remember how it was boxed but it was not broken when we received it. It seems like it had the bubble wrap tapped all around it.

No, it is a glass liner, which is why we purchased it. Just "prime" it first; fill it with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes before you fill it with coffee. It will keep it hot a VERY long time. This a quality JAPANESE-made product, not Chinese junk. (Another reason we bought it!)

Absolutely! I have learned to keep an extra one on hand at all times b/c coffee is very important to me. This is the size I use and I also have a Bodum Young Press (and others). The one thing about the Young Press is that the plastic seems to stretch a bit making it a bit loose around the glass increasing the likelihood of breakage. The metal press frames I have don't do that, fortunately.

Not that I recall. There was no problem with the wrap going back into the box at all after cutting.

Only the lid is plastic, should not touch the coffee. Should also mention that the product is extremely fragile.

There are some plastic parts, although as far as I can tell they're all on the outside i.e. with the exception of the stopper, and the pouring spout, they're on the skin of the carafe. The coffee sits in a glass inner container and doesn't tough any plastic until it's poured. I don't know whether the plastic components are BPA-free, although since the coffee isn't in constant contact with any plastic as far as I can tell, I don't think that's much of a concern.

Mine was packaged well. Had enough damping inside the box to protect it. Plus the case itself wont let your contents move around.

No, the carafe is heat-resistant glass, with plastic handle. We think the machine does a good job, and has convenient features. Good Buy.

No inner separate box. You can separate the wood parts from the meta and glass for transport I guess but would keep it in the box as packed. Mine arrived in good condition regardless of the box looking beat up.

Lots of bubble wrap! Each glass is individually wrapped. I wouldn't worry about it getting damaged while being shipped. They really take lots of measures to ensure the package arrives in tact.

I have had my coffee maker for approximately 2 weeks and love it. I am not disappointed about the stainless steel mug as it clearly stated that is wasn't included! If you see a picture of a another coffee maker & there is a coffee cup on display on the box would you expect a mug? , especially if the box/description says "not included". I feel people are making way to big of a deal over the travel mug, who cares, most of us have more than enough anyway. Love that I can brew one cup or us a K-cup for an afternoon pick me up or beprew a pot in the morning. Like not having clutter on my counter or having to pull out different coffee makers.
