The coupler piece on the bottom of the pitcher is also worn out- can I use the same piece for both?

No, the metal paddle on the underside of my pitcher was just a rectangular paddle that sits between the notches of the coupler to drive the cutter blades inside the blender

No. The coupler on the bottom of my pitcher between the glass bowl and the base motor unit is a metal piece that has several metal "spokes" (or fingers) that fit down onto the rubber extensions on the base motor rubber coupling. You will probably have to either obtain a new pitcher assembly that includes the blade unit or perhaps you can simply get a replacement just for the blade assembly alone. However, given that my blender is quite old, it is possible that your pitcher may have a different connecting piece.

I don't see why not. Honestly, I think the fill line on the pitcher is for maximum fill, not minimum, so you have plenty of room to whip the milk without the foam going over the top. I don't think you'd have as good a result if you rewhip.

Not sure, but the blender i owned was no good. The pitcher leaked and if not put on base properly the gear will grind down.

I would suggest you research if there is a company web site. There is no marking on the pitcher itself.

If it were me I would get a hair drier and put it on *medium* heat and see if I could loosen up the hard putty and then take the pitcher off. I wouldn't use hot temp due to possibly cracking the pitcher, but I doubt warm temperature would hurt it at all. That;s what *I* would do if it were mine.

I am assuming not. I suspect all of the manufacturers make proprietary filters for their pitchers. Again this is an assumption... You might try it and be surprised.

I requested return of this item because the stopper did not fit and was of a harder plastic. Amazon issued a credit and told me to keep the pitcher. It has been donated to the salvation army. Interestingly I bought an identical one from Walmart last week for $5.00. The stopper is of soft rubber and although it is a snug fit I cannot shake it. You cannot pour with the stopper in.

The pitcher is glass and the lid and ice container are plastic. I removed the ice part and have never used it, the lid portion still fits into place without it and we found it unnecessary.

This is an intriguing idea to get away from the plastic blender container however, if your Vitamix is still within its warranty period, using a blender pitcher of another brand will undoubtedly void your warranty. Cool idea though...

Does anybody know where to buy the pitcher? It look like just what I need, but I can't find anything like it. Thanks!!

You need both pieces....the outer plastic cup and the filter that goes in it. They come together!

My pitcher cracked because I foolishly put it in the dishwasher a few times to remove unsightly tea stains. If your local housewares retailer no longer carries your model of Mr Coffee tea maker, I would check out some neighborhood garage or estate sales. A clorox and water soak should sanitize it sufficiently for safe use.

The hole is to be able to put the blade on. Think about the blender cups, the bottom of this pitcher would be like the top of one of the cups. Make sense?

Changing the filter was easy. No major reassembly. I am talking about the pitcher model here, not the sink contraption.

I doubt it. At that point, I'd just replace it with a new cup. My cups have lasted me a few years already - and still work great - so it's worth the investment.

Get a zero pitcher to fit the replacements and you are set! The filter is large and I believe it will only fit a Zero pitcher. This is a terrific product.

The filter is NOT in the correct position. Check the mark when you put the filter in. There is only one correct way. Mach the pitcher mark and the filter mark and the filter will go all the way into the pitcher. Enjoy.
