Glass handle replaces wooden collar — fully dishwasher-safe. $55-70 (8-cup). Best if dishwasher convenience matters. Same brewing performance as Classic. Different aesthetic — more streamlined, less artisan profile.
The Glass Handle 8-Cup replaces the wooden collar with a molded glass handle — the only structural change, but a meaningful one for anyone who runs everything through the dishwasher. Brew performance is identical to the Classic; the aesthetic is more streamlined and less artisanal. If dishwasher convenience matters and you're buying the 8-Cup size anyway, the glass handle version is the practical upgrade.
Pros
- Fully dishwasher-safe — no collar removal needed
- Identical brewing performance to the Classic
- More streamlined aesthetic — works in contemporary kitchen settings
Cons
- Glass handle aesthetic is divisive — lacks the craft feel of the wooden collar
