Are the carafes glass or plastic?

Carafes are glass. Plastic would not be suitable for the hot plate feature! This unit works very well.

Glass carafe with a plastic lid. Both pretty durable. We wore out our first coffeemaker but still have the carafes and lids (in case we have an accident with one of our new set).

Plastic. Very durable. I use a narrow bottle brush to wash out the previous brew. Maintains a good taste when clean.

The carafe is glass. It will beep just a couple of times when the coffee is finished dripping, then another quick beep when 2 hours is up and machine automatically turns off. However, this thing has proved to be unreliable -- just stops working from out of nowhere, then might start working again if you try a week later. On my second in a year; figured the first was a fluke, threw it out and got a new one, then the same thing happened. I just happened to try the second one once again before going about trying for a return, and all of a sudden it was working again. Very good machine otherwise, but who needs one that might just not work?

The coffee pot/decanter/carafe is clear glass. Our current machine is stainless with black trim. Our previous 15 year old model was entirely black plastic. Be sure you specify you want black only.

No. There is no plastic. And the coffee is very hot. I use liquid cre creamer so it is till hot after I add it.

Well the plastic cone at the top is plastic, but the parts that grind the coffee are some form of ceramic and the container that holds the grounded coffee is glass. Hope that helps.

Plastic. Durable, but plastic. All except the metal plate on which you place the cup (stainless). I've had this thing for more than 2 years now, drawing 8 double espresso per day, almost every day, and no problems.

The glasses are plastic but very nice! I gave them as Christmas gifts to a couple of friends.

The set I bought has two carafes. The glass one has a handle and a spout and the stainless steel one doesn't have a spout or handle, it's like one you see at an old ice cream shop. I think the one in the picture is the stainless steel one. It has a small ridge around it and when you pour, it doesn't drip. It actually works really nice and it's the main one I use. I hope this answers your question!!

There is no plastic taste now. However the machine stopped working after 3 months. The carafe lid was poorly made and held water inside. I would not buy this appliance knowing what I now know about it.

The glass carafe is attached to the metal base. The bottom has electric coils that when placed on the base make connections to heat up the base. I have used this product for over a year and am extremely happy with it.

no the bottom is plastic, but this carafe will keep drinks warm for 6 hours or longer. It has a thermos type liner. We LOVE ours!

The red one pictured is definitely a glass carafe. The one I purchased is definitely a stainless steel thermos carafe. I have had this coffeemaker for a longer period of time than any others..good coffee.

Hi, they are not glass but a heavy plastic. I haven't had any trouble with mine. I use it almost every day and truly love it!

I'm not sure. The carafe is just plastic and glass (no metal), but I'm not sure if the glass is microwave safe.

The carafe is made of glass with a plastic, flip-top lid and plastic handle.

The glass carafe is one piece. The metal band around the middle makes the handle more secure.
