Title: Great cup of coffee, but unsafe, flimsy and badly designed
Review: This product has been in my home less than a year and has needed 3 repairs - two to the "keep hot" cover, which I replaced at my own cost, and one to the handle (which snapped off, having been subjected to only normal use and cleaning). Now today, after having had the handle superglued back on 3 weeks ago, the handle snapped off again, spraying our kitchen with hot coffee and just missing my ten-year-old. This is a badly-designed and unsafe product. The plastic used is not adequate to withstand daily heating and cooling, especially at vital stress points where the plastic is too thin to handle the job over time. I've had many coffeemakers over the years - none of them made as great a cup of coffee as this Bodum - but they lasted 5 to 10 years with easy maintenance and never presented a danger to myself or others. Bodum has produced a shoddy, unsafe product.
