How can we garantee that we get the borosilicate glass version? Are they all made with this glass? I read a customer got a plastic carafe.

"borosilicate glass": Simax, Borcam, Borosil, Suprax, Kimax, Pyrex, Endural, Schott, Refmex. in use since 1893, this is cheap and standard for cookware. you could not make this out of "non-borosilicate glass"

A follow up on my last posting about the glass carafe imploding. I contacted Bonavita through their website, explained what happened and receive an email informing me a new replacement carafe was being shipped. Thank you Bonavita! it's a great coffee maker backed by a great customer support policy

Had the same problem but got KA to replace with glass carafe that comes apart. No problems with that one.

I've used the glass carafe daily since June 2013(purchased from Amazon). No issues with the glass carafe

Good question. It is glass but I know of no replacement for it. It's a standard 10 cup carafe and I would think it wouldn't be that difficult to find one. By the way, I really enjoy this coffee maker, and would never go back to a percolator.

The screen is stainless or it would have rusted by now. The part on the strainer looks to be stainless. The rod part is hard to tell maybe a different quality of stainless then the other parts? I don't think there is any aluminum in it. Is it just me or does "Mike Robison" sound like he is pitching this product? It's as easy to clean as any other French press that i have used anywhere in the world. What qualifies any of these people besides the manufacture to state the materials it is made of? The description does say all stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and strong BPA free plastic.

I think Bodum carafe size is best judged by the height and diameter of the glass. I find it simply silly that Bodum doesn't clearly mark these carafes. But really, I would consider something other than Bodum. Their carafes break FAR TOO EASILY. I finally gave up on them.

I looked everywhere for a cloer carafe. Unbelievably, I could not find one. Ended up finding a generic replacement made by modelco, but had to adjust/cut the plastic lid to make it fit.

I have the glass carafe, and they easily develop cracks that you only see as soon as brewing starts!-I never brewed without water, and don't put it on the hot plate until it's cooled off.The replacement carafes (3) were Pricy from BV's Espresso Supply link, and appear to be defective/cracked/... BV rejects!

Same thing happened to me. I could not find one and eventually had to dispose of the entire thing. You're better off buying them at the store and making sure replacement carafes are available. Sorry I could not be of any more help.

hi jeff, well I really can't answer that question, guess I never thought about it when I purchased the coffee maker, I was really after the color! it might say in the description, otherwise I would put it in to the search engine for a replacement carafe as long as you have the model number, hope this helps!

I also just realized this was glass and not plastic. I was tapping out contents while cleaning when it occurred to me. I suppose finding the right dimensions might be difficult. Maybe a science supply store or if you have a glass cutter use a test tube? Honestly, I think it might be easier to place another order than to spend time fabricating something.

There's only one carafe ~ the other clear plastic thing shown is the sound dampening hood, which lowers over the carafe during operation to reduce noise (although because the carafe lid only rests on top instead if sealing, you usually need to hold the lid down to keep it from splattering everywhere unless you're blending a very small quantity, like 1 or 2 cups of liquid. An additional carafe would be a beautiful thing but they're really pricey. Another thing to note is that both the carafe and hood will very likely be hazy from use, and not as pristine as shown but they *are* refurbished, after all. I'm delighted with my blender ~ I would buy it again in a heartbeat but it's good to know the limitations in advance.

When I contacted B&D;'s customer service about replacing the carafe--it was cracked/chipped when we took it out of the box--they wouldn't replace it. I don't know, though, if they will sell a replacement. I'm so disappointed in this machine, I'm hoping the carafe will finally break so I can get something different!
