Are the glass and thermal carafe usable in the same machine?

The glass and thermal carafes that I have seen would NOT be compatible. (Of course, things change, so I could be wrong today....)I saw the other response that you received, and just for a balanced argument, I love my Capresso. I have no problems with the grinding, they are evenly distributed, and the coffee strength is great.

They are defiantly not comparable. We replaced our glass machine with a thermal machine and to check we placed our glass one in the machine. It does not reach and will obviously not work.

The machine only comes with the metal thermal carafe. If you have a way to buy the glass carafe it might work, but I'd have no way to tell from my order. In any case, please consider any other manufacturer - Capresso had a great product 15 years ago and then the geniuses decided to improve it. Now the grinder doesn't grind fine enough, the grinds get dumped on one side of the filter and the water comes in the other side so the result is rediculously weak. None of these problems were present in the older model. Trying to get around them becomes a full time job and definitely makes the "automatic coffee brewing system" anything but automatic.

The glued plastic trim around the top of the carafe in the original has been done away with. That's the part that leaked. This one is all glass and works perfectly.

Probably, and maybe too much. I use mine to prepare small batches of sauce (experimental stuff) and it's hot enough, even with the gas on low on my middle size burner, to get a slow boil. I would not recommend a glass carafe, personal preference, but a metal type.

The carafe is glass. I know that you can order an after market metal carafe through Amazon.com.

Don't know but I can tell you that the carafe never kept the coffee hot for long. I returned the product.

No, the heating element is actually inside the carafe and cannot easily be touched.

Yes. There is a window on each side of the holding carafe. Love this coffee maker !!

The carafe is glass. The cooling stick is some type of plastic made to handle freezing. Very heavy duty. Might be polycarbonate

No, it is a glass carafe. There is just stainless steel accenting to the front of the maker, as seen in the picture.

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 one I got comes with a Thermal Carafe. It will keep coffee warm for more than 8 hours. The product is great.

No. This carafe is meant to be used with a Krups espresso machine. The glass is delicate and would not be used on a stovetop or other method.

I am not sure to tell you the truth. It is worth a shot however glass pot models have a heater unit that the pot sits on to keep the coffee hot whereas thermal pot units do not.

Thermal carafe model is "KBT...". KBG model has a heater so you can't use it with a thermal carafe

Only thermal. Taste is not influenced by the metal carafe. However, the design has a deep rim, which makes it difficult to completely empty the carafe.

I can no longer answer your question because the carafe broke on the first week we used it. It's apparently not tempered glass, because it broke from the gentle tap of one edge of a dishwashing brush. It is extremely fragile. If you can find a stronger product, I suggest you do so.

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