Title: Perfect Replacement--UPDATE: Terrible changes to this item since my original order
Product review: My original review, based on a purchase from a few years ago: I was pleasantly surprised that I could still get a replacement to a reliable 10 year old coffeemaker. Perfect fit. A bit pricier than I'd like considering how relatively cheap an entirely new coffeemaker would be, but it serves its purpose well.Well, that carafe cracked while I was washing it. Ordered a new one. and...New review: Ridiculous design changes have ruined what was a perfectly functional item. They shortened the carafe, so it no longer has a metal band holding the handle on the carafe. as a result, the filter/plastic basket now sits IN the coffee once the pot is anywhere near full. Who designs this stuff?? Especially when the old design was a good one?
