I feel like I'm buying a new coffee maker each year. It should be made of strong pyrex glass, but instead it seems to cracks too easily. I am also like one of the other reviewers who said he refuses to buy another coffee maker out of principle. I was always very careful with the second one, but after about a year, it cracked also.
I completly agree with the first reviewer - the coffee maker itself is great. Its almost like the business models with ink-jet printers - sell the printers cheap and kill them with the recurring cost of ink. I don't like metal carafes because you cant see how much coffee you have left. Its simple, inexpensive, long lasting, and makes good coffee.
Now I am ordering my third one. Here, its the recurring cost of the carafes. But the carafe is too weak. My first carafe cracked after about a year and I ordered this replacement.
It was sent immediately. It was available. It was reasonably priced. Excellent. This is just what I wanted.
That why amazon is a prefered source of supply for books, music, etc. I broke this carafe after 20+ years of use and Amazon had a great price and free shipping.
It seemed crazy to spend money on an over 20 year old coffee maker, I am so glad we did. So back it went and we are back to using our 20 year old Braun system with our new replacement pot. Plus we added less to our carbon footprint, you can't say that everyday. Our previous coffee pot broke so I went out and purchased a completely new system, and it was dreadful. Difficult to clean, it just seemed cheap once we started using it.
No real damage. As it turned out, what I heard was not broken glass. It was the plastic spill guard that had come loose and was clanging around in the carafe (glass pot). Very good. I would recommend that the folks at the fullfilment center snap off the spill guard and wrap it in paper before they place it in the package. This is the factory-manufactured replacement for my 10-cup Braun KF-400 coffee maker. Works as promised. When the package arrived, I was momentarily unhappy to hear what sounded like broken glass inside the package.
