Comment: Delonghi web site did not have a replacement carafe for sale lucky for me that Amazon came through. Glass carafe was identical to the one I broke. Just had to use the old plastic top.

Comment: Just to let you know, the handle on this coffee carafe doesn't unbolt (as they do on other carafes.) And at the top of the handle, where it meets the vertical part of the plastic molded unit, there is a stress point. You can get cracking and the handle will pull away from the carafe.
Make sure, if this happens to you, that you carefully support it and don't pull on the handle (especially full of hot coffee.) You can superglue or epoxy the handle right back on (I dabbed Superglue onto the cracked surface by pulling the handle slightly away, then pushed it back and pressed it to bond.)
The pot is as good as new. But if you bash yours over the faucet as you stupidly dash out drops of water after washing, then this will come in handy. I am very fond of this coffeemaker; it makes great coffee and I'm glad Amazon carries these carafes.

Comment: I have been looking for a replacement carafe for over a year and could not find a store that sold one until I got onto Amazon. Very happy with the speedy delivery also!

Comment: I purchased this product because I accidentally broke my other coffee carafe in the sink while cleaning it. It arrived on time and intact from the manufacturer so that was great. My issue is mostly with Delonghi. If I could have found another coffee pot to fit my machine, I would have. This pot has a tendency to spill if you pour it too fast. You actually have to pour your coffee super slow to avoid a mess. This happens to me a lot because I'm generally half-asleep when I make coffee in the mornings. Anyway, it isn't a deal breaker, especially since my coffee machine is amazing. I can deal with this tiny issue, no problem.
