Product Description
This 12-cup replacement carafe is for use with all flavor select coffee makers
Amazon.com Review
Made of scratch-resistant glass, this 12-cup carafe fits all Braun FlavorSelect coffeemakers. It's calibrated on both sides so the fill level can easily be read, has a knuckle guard made of the same tough, durable, slip-resistant plastic as the handle to protect the fingers from the hot glass, and is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

 Just like the original, works perfect. August 13, 2008
We've had this carafe on our Braun coffemaker for years, and finally broke it in the sink while trying to balance a toddler and the morning coffee routine. This replacement carafe was pretty much an exact replacement. I didn't find, as other reviewers had mentioned, the glass to be any thinner than the original. If anything, this one felt a little more secure than our original, specifically the handle attachment to the carafe.
Very good replacement. July 14, 2008
While my original carafe of 11 years still works, the 2-piece lid had one of the pieces break causing splatter whenever coffee is brewed. This new carafe is taller which reduces the opportunity for splatter to exit the carafe and the lid is a 1-piece version, so there are fewer places for failure.
As for the comments of the carafe having thinner glass, it does seem that way, but when comparing to the my original carafe, it isn't *that* much thinner. I will say that the shape doesn't lend itself to taking an impact very well when compared to the more squat version that came with my coffee maker since it has much broader sides. When it comes time to improve the product, I would like to see the glass thickened a bit.
All in all, we are very pleased with this replacement and wonder why we did not order it sooner. If it breaks, we will order a new one and have kept the old one to hold us over until the new one arrives.

Its the replacement carafe it's supposed to be. It's the same make/quality as the original...don't expect more and don't expect less.
 Not as good as the original December 29, 2007
We had the older Braun coffee maker and it rocked. The original carafe had a small lip at the top that caught any stray coffee grinds/sludge and prevented it from being poured in the cup. An ingenious and useful design detail. The new aerodynamic design may be pretty, but it's less functional and less durable.
Plus the coffee machine itself, in my opinion, does not get hot enough, so the yield is poor. I switched to a Bodum french press and found I could use a 1/3 less coffee and still get a stronger cup.
Braun products are not as good as they used to be.
 Just as advertised December 13, 2007
Sought a cheap Braun replacement carafe and the description on this item suggested that the box was not perfect, but the contents were in good condition. That turned out to be the case and it was shipped and arrived promptly.
