We seem have a problem with repeated clumsiness and breaking our glass carafes. Is there anything on this that a clumsy person could break?

We've had ours about two months and there doesn't seem to be anything on it that can be easily broken. No glass carafe - dispenses coffee one cup at a time. Especially like the led light that is over the cup so that you can see coffee going into a dark interior cup without spilling over.

No, there is no glass on this coffee maker. You don't even need to use a cup that will break, just use a travel mug if you want. I like mine very much. The only thing that makes it a more lenghty process to make the coffee is the way the water goes in. You put the water in and then use that to pour the water into another part. You then put the coffee basket in and start it. It can be programmed to start later if you wish just as other coffee makers do. You can make 2-4 cups up to 10 -12. It keeps the coffee warm after being brewed from 1-4 hours, whichever you choose.

I'm sorry, Elias, but ALL of my Bodum carafes are shattered. So I no longer buy Bodum. There has to be a site that compares ounce capacity of Bodums with size.

You can remove the carafe, though it may not seem like it because it's a tight fit in the holder. Of course, be extra careful when removing yours since it's cracked. Hope this helps.

Just lift the plastic lid on the carafe before pouring and spillage is maybe a drop here and there.

what kind of question is this, that's basic for almost any type of glass. ofcourse it will crack or brake

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

You can spill anything if you're not careful! I have not had a problem with spillage. Very happy with this coffee maker. I use it for travel... but I'm not a sloppy 'pourer'.

I have had no problems with the carafe spilling or dripping coffee when pouring a cup. Further, I use the carafe to pour water into the coffee maker without a mess. Also, look at the costco CBC-5200PC Series, it maybe a similar machine but cheaper in price.

Yes mine failed shortly after purchase. bought a second one and the carafe broke.

I haven't really had any issues with drinks and bumpy sidewalks. I did make sure to put a stopper in the hot coffee cup just in case. Better safe than sorry.

Keep your receipt! OGGI stands by their product but only if you have the receipt to prove you bought the item. Biggest problem with the unit is that people break the lever when they tighten or loosen the cap. The cap is strong but the pour lever is quite fragile and will break with moderate pressure. So, don't touch the lever when opening or closing the carafe.

It's a very thick and heavy glass though I imagine it could shatter. I have dropped it on carpeted floor and it did not break but on a harder surface I think it would.

Had the same problem but got KA to replace with glass carafe that comes apart. No problems with that one.

I've used the glass carafe daily since June 2013(purchased from Amazon). No issues with the glass carafe

o, it's not extra delicate. I am on my second carafe, Iam just careful in how I handle it and wash it. I was not able to find another carafe that fit. Good luck!

yes recently cold weather,I could hear a cracking sound when I poured hot water in carafe.(plastic version) The Bodum was next to the window.Then when I pressed the plunger harder it would release coffee and grounds through these cracks.This is not on website or on their literature. I feel this is substandard and potentially dangerous product.

We love this Bodum as we have broken several glass ones. I would contact Bodum to see.
