Keep your receipt! OGGI stands by their product but only if you have the receipt to prove you bought the item. Biggest problem with the unit is that people break the lever when they tighten or loosen the cap. The cap is strong but the pour lever is quite fragile and will break with moderate pressure. So, don't touch the lever when opening or closing the carafe.

I have had this SS version only a month so can't really say as to the durability of the plastic on the lid. I don't put the lid in the pot until the coffee has brewed for four minutes. A recent purchaser complained of a "taste" associated with the lid (which may be caused by the plastic), so wait on the lid until through with brewing and that should solve any problem.

I have the same problem. Two of my lids broke. I just emailed Thermos, so I will just have to wait and see what they say.

I think you have to contact the seller on amazon. I haven't seen the coffee maker or the carafe in the stores I go to.

I have this same vacuum jar I bought from someplace else. I lost the gasket, called PMI, they were very helpful, so helpful in fact they sent me 2 free gaskets. They asked me for some numbers found on the bottom on the container.Example:CUP - SS04HANDLE - RH98STOPPER - RS45

Our carafe was leaking so I called Krups. Their service was great. They immediately sent out a new carafe for free.

I simply place a used refilled K-cup in the same machine socket, seated on the same pin and compress the lever. A new lid will make a snapping noise when punctured. I use these lids over and over until the top becomes brittle and cracks. They're great! I've used them daily for several years with nary a problem. Best wishes, John Watts, League City, Texas

This one does not have the same issues as the last one, and my husband is not always the best about cleaning it every time we used it, like we HAD to be with the last version. The carafe has a fairly large lip that the lid sets into, which would catch any leakage when pouring. (everything goes out the spout, even if it did leak, which I haven't seen that it does)

It is NOT an exact replacement for the original KCM534 carafe. See my review dated 3-8-2015. JCD

Sorry, not really an answer to your question, but I have had the thermal carafe for almost a year and haven't had any problems. I'm not particularly careful with temperature changes either (rinse with cold water after emptying hot brewed coffee).

I don't but I actually need to replace mine as well. With mine, the frother starting making odd sounds and while steam would come out of the want it would not froth the milk. I'm not sure if you have the same problem but I was able to fix mine in the interim. I determined that there was a loss in seal with the plastic gasket that goes inside the metal wand housing. I applied some duct tape to the housing and then slid the gasket on over the top, using some force to make sure it was very snug. That fixed the problem immediately and that solution has worked well for a few months now. I do plan to reach out to DeLonghi customer service however to inquire about new parts at some point.

Thomas, on second thought the carafe looks the same on both. I would assume that both take the same lid.

Sell the carafe on eBay and put the rest in the garbage. Mine did the same after 3 months.

I suggest you buy a different machine all together and be done with terrible one. Unless you are super happy with this machine. With that said, everything is replaceable. I'm sure if you spend 5 minutes on the web you'll find a replacement carafe.

The plastic part of the lid (which is under the stainless part of the lid) is pretty sturdy, but ours has finally broken after many years of daily use (can't remember exactly, but probably at least 10 years...). The plastic broke off from around the stainless stem. Unfortunately, while the filter disk is replaceable, Bodum has told us that the lid itself is not. But we love this coffee maker so much, we're buying a new one. Ten years is a pretty good run.

The lids with this company has been a problem with cleaning issues, especially if you use half and half or milk in your coffee. They are now on their 3 lid design and I think they have finally designed an acceptable lid for cleaning. Make sure you get the latest lid design, the other two are no good.

I'm really not sure about that to be honest. I guess it would need to be taken apart to find out. This is the best coffee pot I have ever had. If it breaks down, I'm buying another just like it!
