5.0 out of 5 stars Great carafe that works very well, December 11, 2006

I have a grind and brew that is the black plastic model that is the version that comes with the 12 cup glass carafe. I dropped the glass carafe in the sink and it cracked, bummer. I went to get another glass carafe and saw that the stainless thermal carafe was on sale so I bought it without realizing it was not made to use with the Grind & Brew model I owned. It fit perfectly and I was curious why they said "for use with stainless steel grind & brew only" and realized it is because the stainless thermal carafe holds 10 cups, not 12 like my glass one.

SO ANYWAY, what this means is that this thermal carafe works great with ALL Grind & Brew Machines, you just can't set the plastic Grind & Brew machines to make 12 cups of coffee since the steel thermal carafe will only hold 10 cups. NOT A BIGGIE and it's a wonderful bonus; I set my machine the night before and am awoken up by it going off in the morning and now I can have hot coffee without needing to fuss with putting the coffee in a separate carafe. Plus, it keeps it hot FOREVER; I have emptied the leftover coffee after work and it is still warm over 10 hours later.

I love it and highly recommend for any Grind & Brew machine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice carafe, but can trap water, March 7, 2009

This review is from: Cuisinart DGB-600RC 10-Cup Stainless Thermal Carafe (Kitchen)

I have the cuisinart grind and brew with this carafe. I have noticed that my carafe gets water trapped inside of it. The carafe can be "empty" and dry, but I can still hear liquid shaking inside of it. I used to think it was trapped inside the metal, but it isn't. The water is inside the plastic top.

This was starting to drive me nuts. I finally waged war against the thing, imagining all sorts of mold and crud growing within. Now here's the part I wanted to share.

You can take it apart. It is not easy, but I can do it. And I am a 120 lb woman with no upper body strength. Here's how:

1. Get a philips screwdriver and unscrew the screw on the handle.
2. Slide the handle upward until it pops off. Don't twist, just straight up. It might be tight. Slide harder.
3. Get a good grip on the thing and position both of your thumbs under the spout.
4. Push up VERY hard under the spout and the whole plastic black top will pop off. (If you cannot get it off with your thumbs, try gently prying it off with a screwdriver.) Watch for a rubber gasket that might go flying.
5. Wash it. Mine was full of NASTY water.
6. Put the rubber gasket back into the plastic top with the dirty side facing out--facing the metal bottom. (A reviewer said that the only way it worked for them was to seat the gasket first onto the metal base, then replace the plastic top.)
7. Line up the top carefully (plan ahead to put the handle back on) and then push the top down hard into place. If you don't line it up, it is really hard/impossible to twist it later.
8. Snap the handle back into place and screw it.
9. Enjoy mold and crud-free coffee. Mmmmm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thermal Carafe replacement, June 12, 2009

Even though this pot is not supposed to 'go' with my Cuisinart 12-cup (model #DCC-1200) Coffeemaker, I purchased it anyways. I cracked the original glass pot that came with the coffeemaker, and I didn't want another glass replacement. This carafe is 2 cups smaller than my 12-cup machine, so I have to remember that when I'm making coffee for crowds! However, I took the gamble and hoped that it would fit my machine...and it fits beautifully! My only complaint is that unless I pre-warm the carafe with hot water for a few minutes before brewing the coffee, the coffee only stays warm, not hot (even right after brewing). Hence, the 4 stars...
