Can I lock the carafe on to the base?

No for the KSB560; yes for the KSB1570. Before purchase I'd check the specific model no. to be sure.

Mine leaks too! I used it once (so far) and the liquid stared to leak right on out. I just contacted the seller and am waiting to hear back. I don't know if the one piece jar is such a good idea. ugh

I don't know because I use my carafe only for refrigerated drinks. Could you possible ask Rubbermaid company and see what they suggest?

Yes, it does lock on the base. I have to turn the glass ears back and forth few times until it clicks.

Yes, there is a plastic plug that is supposed to keep everything airtight, but i don't think it's effective. I have gone back to using the carafe I had from before.

I don't see why not, but the discharge chute of the melitta devices may not be the same size as the carafe opening, which might require it being held in place during the process.

Yes, to both questions. You do need to put the lid on to pour. The carafe doesn't pour neatly without lid.

I just bought mine in October(the generic package of just one carafe and one base); so far no problems, so sorry, I would not know, however, it was so cheap that buying a whole new unit would not be a major expense

Yes, you can do that. The other option that you have is to simply press the carafe (or single serve) button when you have the amount you desire (just a moment before actually to give the machine time to respond) and the brewing will stop then too.

Sorry I'm not 100% sure, as I've had mine for several years, and mine is not available to test out, but I think to re set the code you have unlock it, and press in and hold in the small button on the cable side while you set the tumblers if it works you should be able to lock it. Hope this helps.

I just checked mine out. It vacuum locks when you put the cover on and won't pour until you press the lever. IT"s a great carafe. Keeps liquids hot for at least 5 hours.

Probably not. The tops are difficult to screw in properly and you must snug them up to the point where the lever is lined up with the handle. I hate these carafes because they fail to keep the coffee hot for any reasonable length of time. You did not mention where the leak is, though. If it is at the bottom, you have a real problem. I'm glad I kept my 25 year old thermos because it keeps my coffee hot for hours instead of minutes. Let me know if this helps.

I have never taken the lid off the carafe. it could very possible break from the forceable pressure.

Yes, you have to lock the top onto the base...it will snap in when it's in place.

Slide out and twist carafe and frame in opposite directions, and slide new one in. Good luck. Mine is aluminium frame.

The base is made to not be removed from the base like a professional blender. The blender, base can twist off the blender base to remove the carafe.

Yes you can but honestly I would not recommend this machine. Since we received it it gives an error if it has been several days since it was used and we have to run water through the carafe side before we can use the individual cup side. I wish I had purchased another machine.

No, you cannot. You need room to turn the coffee maker so you can see the back right side.
