Pity, I was happy with the Cuisinart coffee maker. After we broke the first pot (while washing; we're not especially hard on them), and paid enTIREly too much for a replacement, I vowed not to waste money on another. Cuisinart DCC-1200PRC 12 Cup Replacement Carafe-Black It made good coffee and looked sharp on the shelf. Well, the second one cracked in a sink of soapy water today, and I'll be picking up a cheap Mr. Coffee machine this weekend.
We had the toughest time finding a replacement and the cost at Cuisinart's site for the replacement was significantly higher than through Amazon.Com.
I should note that my original carafe cracked with just a light knock against a stone countertop. There is nothing wrong, so to speak, with this carafe. Who is going to stop drinking coffee to save a few bucks. This is a rip off, but as the folks at Cuisinart know, they have you at their mercy. The problem is how much it costs to replace it. I bought my coffee maker for just over $50, and it will cost nearly half that to replace the carafe, which is made of very thin (and probably not too expensive) glass.
Delivery time during the holday was exceptional; it was here within 3 days of delivery (standard). this replacement was the least expensive from my online investigations.
Works just as it should nothing else needed to be said. My pot was lost in the move from cali to texas, and this does the same job just as well as the one that came with my auto grind coffee maker.
