What accessories does this come with? Where can I get an extra Thermal Carafe?

It depends on the seller, so click on the link at the bottom of the list of "Other Sellers on Amazon" on the right side of the page. If you buy directly from Technivorm, you get the coffee maker. Currently, if you buy from Roastmasters (at the moment it says 100% positive ratings in the last year) then you pay the same price, get free shipping and it comes with "2 pounds of freshly roasted coffee, goldfilter, paper filters, package of Cleancaf." You don't get Prime Shipping, but they ship quickly and if you love good coffee then you won't need the easy return policy that comes with Prime. I won't give my Moccamaster up until they come out with something better (don't hold your breath) or I die. In fact, I may even ask to be buried with mine like a Pharaoh so I can enjoy great coffee in the afterlife! BTW, mine came with a gold filter and I gave it away -- I think the unbleached paper filters make a superior cup of coffee.

You just get the carafe, 2 tops-one for the water unit and one for the coffe grounds, a metal piece you put on the top of the unit so the water drips down, the coffee holder (you willl need to get #4 filters although some do come with the unit to get you started, a hot plate, two tops for the carafe-one for when you make the coffee and one top to close it. You need to buy descal coffee cleaner and descaler and use that ev ery 3 or 4 mts. You need to buy those although they might give you one to start.

I always go to manufacturer websites and read user manuals before purchasing. It's a good thing I do because there are so many errors here. The thermal carafe do not have a heated plate. Please read your manual. The glass carafe does. It has three temp settings. Also, if you read the manual you will see it turns off after 2 hrs.

No mention was made as to how old your unit is. A thermal carafe is only as good as the vacuum seal surrounding the carafe. Have you run your carafe through a dishwasher? If so, you may have liquid in areas where there should be only air or vacuum. The thermal break is gone, coffee does not stay hot. Another consideration, is the brew temp where it should be in the first place? Fouled heating elememts do not heat the water to the same high temp as clean heating elements will. Clean the elements by brewing a pot of white vinegar. It is amazing how much color (crud) the vinegar will pick up. After the vinegar, run at least two or three pots of clean water. I sometimes will run do the vinegar treatment twice. These are only guesses and not answers, but your question could be answered in so many ways. I wish i could help more.

I think it would be considered a thermal carafe, although it does not keep coffee hot for too long. We are on our 2nd of these-the first conked out after 2 weeks. So far, this one is working fine. I would recommend only buying from Amazon, not the 3rd party, as they do not stand behind the warranty.

When I broke my carafe in the sink, I ordered mine here: http://www.shopdelonghi.com/products/parts_accessories/coffee_maker

We only use the thermal carafe and think it is great. Keeps coffee hot for hours and have not had any explosions.

Williams Sonoma sells them. Go to their web site, select coffee makers, then select accessories. Here is a link: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/technivorm-glass-replacement-carafe/?pkey=ccoffee-accessories&cm;_src=coffee-accessories

The thermal carafe does have a glass lining, but that aside, it's not the carafe that makes better coffee, it's the temperature of the machine that heats the water, the way the beans are ground and the quality of beans that you have. All that said, I prefer the carafe, because it doesn't continue to cook the coffee once it's brewed, resulting in the strong burnt/bitter taste that a regular carafe drip maker would.

So I have the same, or at least VERY similar coffee maker (KCM222CU...the only difference should be the color), and I bought the thermal carafe listed here (KCM22TC) and it fits and works perfectly.

call Kitchenaid customer service. I ordered filters from them they will probably be able to sell you a replacement carafe.

Only the carafe. We saw them at cost plus. I don't remember how much they were. I think individually around 5 to 10 bucks.

There's only one carafe ~ the other clear plastic thing shown is the sound dampening hood, which lowers over the carafe during operation to reduce noise (although because the carafe lid only rests on top instead if sealing, you usually need to hold the lid down to keep it from splattering everywhere unless you're blending a very small quantity, like 1 or 2 cups of liquid. An additional carafe would be a beautiful thing but they're really pricey. Another thing to note is that both the carafe and hood will very likely be hazy from use, and not as pristine as shown but they *are* refurbished, after all. I'm delighted with my blender ~ I would buy it again in a heartbeat but it's good to know the limitations in advance.

Go to AMAZON and type in, replacement carafe, for what ever brand coffeemaker you have and the problem is solve. One thing, some of the replacement carafes are almost as expensive as the whole unit you need the replacement carafe for. So buy wisely.

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

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

The carafe is not microwave or stove top safe. You should make smaller ups if you are worried about the temperature.
