Does anyone know if another maker's carafe can be used (in place of the crummy one that drips from the handle!)

I don't know - but if you find out please post it here. I would like a different carafe too. I don't like how you cannot pour out all the coffee/water. Some is always trapped in by the rim.

Mine does not drip from the handle either. The only thing that is somewhat annoying is that it dribbles from the spout when pouring the last of the coffee.

If your carafe drips from the handle perhaps it's defective. Mine is perfect. Does it drip while pouring or while brewing? I would carefully examine the handle and the flip top. Does the top fit tight inside the rim? Does the hole where the coffee comes out line up with the hole in the top? This coffee maker wasn't cheap so if you like the pot, I'd ask for a replacement.

Mine drips out of the bottom of the handle., def a design fault., they did replace mine free of charge., but after a month that one did the same :(

Mine also does this, more so recently... mine is just a year old. Perhaps they will replace it if you ask. I am going to give it a try.

I thought of putting glue on the end but this carafe is made better than others.

o, it's not extra delicate. I am on my second carafe, Iam just careful in how I handle it and wash it. I was not able to find another carafe that fit. Good luck!

You may need to line up the carafe better. The hole is very small so being off even a little bit can cause it to spill

I'm pretty sure you can purchase another carafe separately. Searching Amazon for "capresso mt600 carafe" brought one up in about the third result. When I unpacked the full coffeemaker there was a form with the instructions for ordering replacement parts; that might be another option for you. I'd check the manufacturer's website for links about spare parts or, failing that, a way to contact customer service to get help finding one to order if you can't/won't buy the one from Amazon for some reason. Make sure you're getting a carafe and lid designed for the right model coffeemaker (this discussion is about MT600 - make sure that's what you have) because proper fit between the carafe lid and the basket is critical to avoiding overflow issues. Another, likely cheaper, option might be to get any random insulated thermos. Brew first pot of coffee and pour it in the thermos. Give the coffeemaker a few minutes between pots (as directed in the instructions,) and brew a second pot. I think the coffeemaker industry standard "cup" is 4-5 oz., so as long as your thermos can hold at least 50 oz. of liquid, you should be fine. It wouldn't hurt to measure the volume of liquid in a full pot of the Capresso to be sure ahead of time. Pre-heat the thermos with hot tap water to make it keep that first pot hot even longer.

Had the same problem but got KA to replace with glass carafe that comes apart. No problems with that one.

Rodney, although the quantity of that carafe is the same as the original glass pot, my guess is that it won't work with the plunger that came with the original in that the original did not have a spout like the carafe has. There will be no way to seal the plunger, or the storage cap. I love my French press, but I have read numerous complaints about breakage. You cannot us a big metal spoon to stir the coffee. A large plastic cooking spoon, or a wooden spoon is required. Otherwise, eventually the metal spoon will break the pot. I don't have any idea about a price, but you might have to resort to Googleling Bodum.com and see if they can sell you just the pot. Good luck.

I had the hardest time replacing mine for the same reason. I finally got smart and called B&D; directly. I told them the problem, that I thought it was a weakness in the top design, the model number of my coffee maker. They sent me a new carafe, no charge, within the week--faster than Amazon might have sent it and no charge to boot! The one I bought from Amazon worked, but obvious it was not specifically designed for my coffee maker, as I had to sort of wiggle it to get it seated properly.

I do not have this carafe anymore. The important thing though is to check the height of the one you are replacing.

I can't answer since my pause and serve plunger went down the road some time ago, but it appears that might. It's a fairly close fit. My reservation regarding the carafe is that it's a bit smaller capacity than the original, perhaps a metric versus English approximation. For me it works fine, just not as voluminous as the original.

My carafe has the number 1224 engraved on the bottom. But, it is for a 12-Cup Cuisinart coffee maker, and the handle looks the same. I'd try it on the model you cited; I think it MIGHT fit. Good luck!

You can remove the carafe, though it may not seem like it because it's a tight fit in the holder. Of course, be extra careful when removing yours since it's cracked. Hope this helps.

Sorry, no help here. I use my carafe to make Cold Brew Tea only. But I can share that the carafe far exceeds my expectations. It is easy to hold, cleans beautifully, and has stayed perfectly clear even though I use a brush to clean it. Just remember to open one of the stoppers when you put the lid on to relieve the pressure.

This is a carafe for use with a Cuisinart drip coffee machine. This is not the machine itself. If you don't own the appropriate Cuisinart drip coffee maker, then don't but this product.

No, l can't since I sent the pot and the brewer back to the company since I did not work with the militia model that I had. They have sent me a new brewer with the appropriate carafe. Kris josephsohn

If you find this out please let me know! I have a chip in my carafe and would like to replace it.

The best thing to do, I found, is to replace the drip lid to the carafe. You can call Cuisinart and they may send you a new one free as it is still under warranty. Or, you can look on Amazon or eBay for one.

I don't know where replacement carafes can be purchased online. Our office however, has "two spare" carafes left over from a warranty replacement we received on the first coffee maker we purchased. If you can't find anything online, send me an email and I'll see if I can share a spare:) Vickie admin@wallace-associates.com
