Title: Needs a re-design
Product review: I've purchased four of these replacement carafes. With the exception of the carafe that came with the coffee maker, damage appears within weeks of use. The tangs that hold the spill guard break first, then the handle breaks near the top. There doesn't appear to be any noticeable difference in this "wear and tear" between hand-washing and dish-washer cycling. Tested pure hand-washing on the first two and dishwasher cycling on second pair. It appears to be either a design flaw or just flat-out crappy plastic (the carafe is made in China after-all).The carafe is cheaper than buying a new coffee maker, so we keep buying them. We love the grind-n-brew coffee maker, even after 7 years of use.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
