But I'm not sure where else to post the question. I just bumped my bodum coffee press off the shelf and it is for some reason it exploded instead of merely cracking. I need to get a new one, hopefully somewhere with a low markup. Can someone recommend a good coffee or cookwares place that will sell these at a reasonable price? Thanks...

I got the 8 cup model for $29.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond or someplace like that. As someone else mentioned if the plunger part is still fine you can just get a replacement carafe.
