Title: Pours well, but is otherwise is poorly constructed
Product review: I actually used the original carafe that came with the machine for about 4 years before needing a new one - and honestly, I'm surprised that it didn't break sooner. The hinge-type part that keeps the lid on is a tiny little plastic part that snapped one day, so I ordered a new one. (Which, for $18 is a TOTAL rip-off.) I was really annoyed, when, about a month later, the tip of the lid (that hinges as you pour) broke off. I am exasperated by this carafe, and am on the look-out for a new coffee-maker so I don't have to waste any more money on replacing this one!
