Default Arghh! Bodum Brazil

Found one at a local thrift shop for $5. I was excited all day to try my first french press. I hear they are similar to my VacPot in taste, which is awesome. Problem is that the VacPot rarely gets used b/c the wife does not drink coffee and I waste too much. My morning routine consists of a travel mug with the pour over method, which I like.

Anyways, get home from work, start the water boiling, and go to wash the beaker. Yep, it breaks while washing and I cut my hand No french press this afternoon. Is bodum glass always so fragile, and if so, what press should I be looking for?

P.S. the reason I was so excited is because the brazil I found was the 12oz model. Perfect morning size when walking out the door. Maybe better luck next time.
