Title: Very poor design
Product review: If I wasn't forced to get this carafe due to having to work with our Grind 'n Brew system, I wouldn't get it. It is cheaply made. I bought two in July of 2009. We do use the coffee make almost daily, but I already had to throw out one of them. The top cover portion that covers the spout broke off within the first two monthes, but that's not that big of a deal. It leaked around the rim where the black plastic meets the glass almost immediately. This was really only an issue for pouring the water into the coffee maker, but a very big inconvenience. Finally the handle cracked and broke. It's supposed to be designed to handle hot liquids, but clearly it is not a durable product. I wonder how many people may have received scalds due to this joke of a product. Luckily, we've known it's faults and have known to be very careful.My 2nd carafe, which I began using about six weeks ago is already starting to leak around the rim again. I do not recommend any coffee maker that uses this carafe.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
