Braun KFK12FL 12-Cup Coffee Maker
Rating:
I am an avid lover of good coffee and the Braun coffee maker is one of the best machines we've ever owned for the initial cash outlay. However, there is one serious problem with this device and that is the quality of the carafe. It's made from almost paper thin glass and the slightest little bump in the wrong area will create a glass fracture which envariably leaks from then on. And the replacement is so very expensive which leads me to think the Braun Company is in the business primarily to profit from their after market sales of carafes. Sorry to tell you this "Mr Braun Company," I'll never purchase another one of your carafes.

It's made of glass. Treat it such!!

We've had the Braun for several years now. Like it so much that we bought one for my parents 2 years ago. They are still on their first carafe; we our on our second. Ours has fallen off the top of the piled high drying rack several times and bounced on the linoleum floor, surviving all except the final fall. Yes it did break. I've broken drinking glasses that have fallen the same height. With a little care, this carafe should last you. Ours has been through the dishwasher umpteen times as well as just been rinsed out and set by the sink on the rack with no ill effect.

The one drawback: this carafe is hard to find and expensive. If it makes anyone feel any better, I just priced out new Braun coffee makers and they've gone up in price about $15. They all seem to have a little digital clock on the front now. This makes the replacement carafe a little more in line with the maker price.

Better Than the Original!!!

In spite of the negative reviews written about the Braun
replacement caraffe we needed one. The original was an
eggshell-thin piece of glass that we babied for 1 1/2 yrs.
It broke while washing it much as others have described.
Our suprise was to find that the replacement had heavier-
duty glass than the original! Has Braun heard complaints
and reverted to previous standards? Four stars! It still
could be a little sturdier yet!
