Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups 326-75 10-Cup Stainless Steel Thermal Carafe
Customer Review: Better than original carafe
Summary: 4 Stars
After the handle broke off the carafe that came with our Krups AromaControl (after about 2 years of use, perhaps several times a week), I found this one and ordered it. My belief is that cleaning the original carafe in a dishwasher is what caused the handle to come off, however I am perturbed that I had to go to the trouble of replacing it.
One would think the engineers would consider the heat of a dishwasher when choosing the plastic components. I am not entirely sure, but it is possible that the plastic (ABS?) became too brittle with oxidation and simply fractured. I searched on the internet and found this to be a very common problem, which is at the same time comforting and annoying.
Upon receiving this carafe, I was disappointed due to the lightweight feel of it. I prefer a certain heft, and I assumed that the lack of this in the new unit means that it is cheaply made. However, this has proved not to be the case; moreover, the decreased weight is actually something of a blessing. Further, I think they removed some of the threads around the neck of the carafe (inside) on this model. The advantage of this is that the coffee pours better (a tighter stream, not a wide cascading waterfall like the original carafe), however, I it seems to make screwing the top on more difficult.
In all, it is superior to the original, however I am not washing the carafe in the dishwasher for fear of the handle coming off. I assume that they have fixed this problem in this model, however I cannot be sure of this. I also must say that it is a tad over-priced, and that perhaps [...] might be a more reasonable price. The only reason I did not get a new coffee maker is that the AromaControl works well and makes good coffee (I use Illy).
