I got both the glass and the stainless steel that fits in the Mr Coffee DR95. The stainless steel is quite sturdy but it only holds 8 cups of coffee. If you dont care that you only get 8 cups of coffee per pot then I would say go for the stainless steel. It keeps coffee quite warm and as I have said it is very sturdy.

Love the Mr Coffee optional Stainless Carafe. The only thing to remember is that it doesn't hold as much as the glass pot, so you have to use less water or it will run over and over-fill the carafe. However, the inside is clearly marked for use with the carafe or glass pot. I love it. After brewing, the Mr. Coffee shuts itself off, which is a feature I wanted. Also, if you like your coffee really hot, rinse the carafe with hot water before brewing. This helps the coffee stay hotter longer. I'm been very happy with the stainless carafe for the Mr. Coffee pot. It is sold separately but well worth it. Love the Mr Coffee optional Stainless Carafe.

Sorry you are having that problem, I have bumped, dropped in sink, etc., and never broken a one. The sure way to solve your problem is to buy the Stainless Mr. Coffee DRD 8-cup....It is great and keeps coffee hotter for much longer period of time.

I've owned one for 6 months and it seems to hold up very well. My grandson has dropped it on a tile floor a couple of times and aside from a few minor dents, it still works fine.

I love the stainless pot. It doesn't break and I think it keeps the coffee warmer.

This thermal pot did not work the way it should. You have to keep restarting it throughout the brewing cycle and therefore it is not a convenience. However, I used to break coffee pots frequently and I now only hand wash them because they were breaking in the dishwasher. I no longer break coffee pots. Hope this helps

We returned the Mr. Coffee coffee maker because it made weak coffee. It is due to the basket the coffee drips through. A V shaped cone is much more efficient so we bought a Bonavita BV1800TH 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe instead.

It broke...Proctor Silex replaced. Do not put in dishwasher now. Also, lid keeps popping off of coffee machine.

Check out the "Handy Caddy" Amazon has for $9.95, but The Container Store sells for $4.99. Your coffee pot will slide out easily and not damage your counter tops. I have one and love it. It even holds the multi serve Keurig.

This machine does not have a warming plate like a Mr.Coffee. It might help using the stainless pot instead of the glass one

I don't know about a warranty on used makers? My pot was glass with stainless and black handle. Great coffee pot. You should purchase the coffee filter too. Much easier to use than paper.

No, there is no glass on this coffee maker. You don't even need to use a cup that will break, just use a travel mug if you want. I like mine very much. The only thing that makes it a more lenghty process to make the coffee is the way the water goes in. You put the water in and then use that to pour the water into another part. You then put the coffee basket in and start it. It can be programmed to start later if you wish just as other coffee makers do. You can make 2-4 cups up to 10 -12. It keeps the coffee warm after being brewed from 1-4 hours, whichever you choose.

No - I have had mine for a few months now and haven't broken any. Use it fairly hard for coffee and drinks. Have also run it through the dishwasher.

I had the same problem. This item and the 12 and 16 quart pots are just junk. Yes you could probably get items replaced but you will just get junk to replace them. To me it is a health issue. We paid a lot of money for Paula Deen Red Speckled cookware. The pans so far hold up. Back to the coffee pot, if you value your health don't use it. We just put artificial flowers in it. James W.

Sandy, I had this coffee machine... IT STINKS.. to put it mildly. Same problem you are having. I loved the coffee but the pot was a pain to deal with. The only model worth the money and I'd buy it over and over again is the "Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit" Believe me, get the 48464 and you will not be disappointed one bit. GREAT COFFEE, NO LEAKING, NO PROBLEMS... I THINK IT IS BEST TO START OUT WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE SO YOU WILL NEVER BE WEAK ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THAT MODEL AGAIN. GET RID OF THIS ONE AND GET THE ONE I HAVE. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY....

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

I wouldn't bother. The center pole & base continue to break so I sent my pot back. I purchased a Fabreware stainless pot that works wonderfully.

Try Coffee and Toy Company. Mfg in China is Generic but I think contacting Coffee and Toy is probably the best. I had a broken part that held the coffee when I received it but contacted seller through amazon. They quickly responded and sent replacement. Good Folks at that company. They will probably help you as well. Go through Amazon and they will also help. The device is wonderful but as you found out fragile. I use rubber mat when cleaning as we have a cast iron sink. Hope this helps! Happy New Year! PS Don't use ice just cold water and it works fine.

Doesn't seem to be one on Amazon unfortunately. Suggest trying Moccamaster <dot> com which is the manufacturer's site -- looks like they're available for $35. If you search a bit, other places like Seattle Coffee Gear have them as well though I haven't found any at a better price.

I would get a back up in case the pressure eventually will crack it or it may break.My son dropped his and it broke so he bought another one.He now has 2 and uses 1 for coffee and the other for tea.

Go to Coffeewhiz.com and go to the PODS section. Any of those would work and they have a great selection. I would buy a Bunn MyCafe over this. it does not brew a fantastic cup, just an ok one...

I have owned three of these coffee pots. One had the same problem. I had to pull out the instructions and follow them exactly. This particular pot required cleaning OFTEN. I hope this helps.
