Don't get me wrong, I love my Braun Coffee Maker, but I just can't take their Carafes anymore. I've gone through 3 of these in the Last year. Two developed cracks in them while hand washing them. They are really poorly constructed, and on top of that, I've never had one that didn't dribble all over the counter from the spout! I think they must have a mad scientist working for them that sabotages an otherwise great coffee maker to get his kicks......On top of that, they are not cheap to replace! I finally have had enough, and retired the coffee maker. I elected to buy another brand, at half the price of the Braun. Admittedly, it doesn't quite live up to the same quality, but the carafes are made much better and don't spill a drop while pouring. The glass also appears much thicker and stronger, and is reinforced with a stainless steel band around it, to secure the handle to the bottom as well as the top. I think this is probably where Braun made their mistake, by securing the handle only at the top of the pot, which leads to stress on the glass at the very point it is fastened to it. Conclusion: Braun Coffee Makers deliver a terrific cup of coffee, but the Carafes aren't worth the Powder to Blow them to Hell!
