Dribble glass
Rating: 
If you're looking for a *replacement* carafe and already own the coffee-maker then you probably already know this, but in case you don't then be aware that this model has a "dribble" problem.
Especially when the carafe is full, the coffee tends to overflow either side of the spout and run down the side of the carafe onto the table/counter/floor/etc.
The carafe looks nice, but too much consideration was given to esthetics and not enough to functionality.
Just Replace The Machine
Rating: 
This carafe is too fragile. I like the underlying Krups but after too many broker carafes I went with a nice Melitta at my office and another nice Krups (with a better carafe design) in my kitchen.
Also, early versions of this carafe woul dribble.
And the cost of this carafe is outrageous compared to carafes made by Krups or others.
There are other nice coffee machines that make good coffee and don't have a fragile carafe.
Buy another machine with a better carafe. Buy another Krups if you like but avoid this carafe.
Krups Replacement Carafe

Krups is the ultimate in coffee makers. A gourmet delight. The flavor and aroma are the chefs delight. The carafe is artistically and designed to please your eye. It is functional and easy to clean. The price is economical. Buy by all means.
