Are there any more affordable third-party options to the Bodum-brand filter? $14 for a piece of metal mesh seems a bit ridiculous. That's more than half the price of a new 12-cup New Kenya press, for example.

I had found alternatives when I was actively looking. Nothing that was garaunteed to work. Considering this part is steel and can be aggressively cleaned. They have lasted for years for me. The price was worth the lifetime of the part.

The full filter assembly is available from Hario on Amazon for $9.95. I ended up breaking the glass stem and discovered that the glass replacement parts are too expensive to replace. As it turns out, the Yama brand siphons are better made and better designed, so I've made the switch. Good luck!

I just asked directly to 4YourHome, they answered that it is a generic brand, "meant to fit" (as written in the description). It does not mean it's bad, but it's just NOT a Bodum.

You get a set of round paper filters with the press (you can see it in the picture) but I chose to add a reusable metal filter for an additional charge.

I don't know for sure but I did look at my older Bodem press & its filter looks to be the same size. I would check Bed Bath & Beyond, Sur le tabla, or William Sonoma? I've only had mine about 2 months now so haven't needed to replace mine yet. Let me know if any of these work. Thanks Rick

I own a metal filter, and I prefer it over the standard paper. I had to adjust the grind a bit coarser to compensate. Other than that, I've been very happy with it.

Happy coincidence, as I text this response, I'm drinking a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee ($51/lb!) freshly ground in my Baratza. The coarse grind setting is perfect for my Bodum press. I couldn't be happier. BTW, works all the way to an almost powder fine grind for an espresso maker, also. You can't go wrong!

It is for 14 cup coffee maker, if you need one I will sell new one to you for cost of freight, also I have a 6 filters in box for $10.00. My coffee maker can not be fix. We have enjoyed it.

My espresso machine detonated minutes ago. Lello indicated it would be $44 + $6 shipping for a replacement plastic filter holder. I can't justify spending that much on a part that I have no assurances will not break again.

The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use. I do not prefer to, just because (for me) it is easier to use the smaller (non-conical shaped) paper filters. I have been known to 'toss' out the mesh one into the trash forgetting that I had used that instead of the other ... Be Aware of which one you are choosing to use that day, if not always! Personally, I prefer the small paper filter liners - Not a Cone Shaped! The coffee is, although, just a bit richer if you do choose the permanent filter as your option. It is because of my mistakes that I am 'safer' with the filters! The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use.

Yes, the replacement glass is made and labeled by Bodum. Way cheaper than a whole new press. This is probably the 4th replacement I have purchased for my French press purchased about 15 years ago.

Don't use the replacement filters. See my review on the product to understand why. The replacement filters simply don't work properly. The filters in the frame work best. I called Mr Coffee and complained about the replacement filters and they apologized for my experience and shipped me out two WF10s (filter and frame).Sunbeam/Mr Coffee support told me they have a subscribe program for these filters you get 3 WF-10's every 3 months, net cost is $10, and they don't charge you for shipping. This is an excellent deal if you're looking for using these on a regular basis.

I don't know. I use the EZ Cup system, 50 filters with tops for about $5.00. A lot less than the system your asking about, and EZ Cup filters are a very fine mesh that stops the fines (sludge) from passing through. EZ Cup has thought of everything, however, you do have a one time purchase of a filter holder.

I'm going with the Bodum. Fit needs to be perfect. That's what makes the french press work correctly. Also, I don't recommend plastic. It's tempting because of breakage, but plastic soaks up burnt coffee over time, and it's impossible to get rid of the taste. It's the same reason I don't use drip coffee makers. Taste is awful!

Be careful when buying replacements that you get a genuine Bodum. The others will work but the press fits a little loose at carafe is slightly larger.

Thank you so much! I'm going to check my manual to see if it's a Fast fill product or not, although the Refer. is a side-by-side.....I'm paying over $50./filter now through Sears's website, but won't now!!!

Not really the ones that you buy for them are designed specifically for use with the product. The flow of the liquid out the bottom of the filter is important to the brew process. I know paying $16 for 150 filters makes them ~.10 each which is not cheap but its part of the system that works really well.
