Once you buy the coffee maker that it comes with, you're pretty much stuck with this carafe. But once you've bought the coffee maker, the carafe is an accident waiting to happen.
I stand behind Cuisinart's grind-n-brew coffee makers - I've had two over the years - but this carafe has built-in obsoletion. The slightest bump and you're buying this replacement carafe.
It is obviously thin and protected not at all. It's not a matter of "if" - it's matter of "when".
It's hard to rate this carafe all by itself. That said, I like the coffee maker, as I really like coffee made from good quality, freshly ground beans.
So much so that when I bought a replacement after the original cracked from a slight bump, I bought two.
Just be very careful when setting it down. Then when I get the replacement from Amazon I clean the carafe up. There are none. What one needs is a carafe made of metal or super plastic. I got one with my coffee maker and now we have broken two.
Other wise this carafe is fine. I have had to buy two seperate times another brand of coffee maker just to get a carafe the will some what fit like the original. Just tap them on the counter and you will be spending $25.00 to get another one. I just purchased my third carafe. Don't bother looking for a replacement where you live.
Rebox it and take it back.
Lucky for us the trash had already been picked up. Product is just fine.Imagine our consternation as we had found that UPS delivered all right - left the package from Amazon in our Trash Can at the end of the driveway. The UPS delivery ticket indicated that no one was home at the time (we had just moved out of our trash can condo and relocated to a roomier waste recycling bin).One more delivery like this - its back to bricks and mortar for us.
Through all the years of owning coffee makers I have never ever broken a carafe, but one little tap on the side of my sink while washing it and crack went the carafe.Really, really ridiculously expensive to replace. I originally bought the Coffee Maker for this Carafe because it was so attractive. When the next carafe breaks.the coffee maker will follow the carafe into the garbage can
Exactly as the original that had accidentally broken for a great price. Replacement carafe comes with the lid, which is great because I think we threw out the original lid when our original carafe broke.
