While a little pricey, it's better than buying a brand new cheap coffee pot and cheaper than replacing the whole unit.Like any replacement part, be sure to compare the part # with your original unit. It finally cracked near the handle, so I bought this replacement. It seems obvious, but just read some of the other reviews. The first coffee pot lasted me over 2 years. I washed it in a dishwasher almost every day and constantly banged it against my metal sink and tile counter-tops (not on purpose).
If your 10-cup carafe appears to be a little taller than the picture and has a metal band around the bottom, it doesn't look like this product is a useable replacement. It appears to fit a design like the Cuisinart DGB-300BK Automatic Grind and Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker, Black nicely. I'm sure it's a fine carafe, but be aware that it doesn't fit every Cuisinart 10-cup machines. It didn't fit my Grind & Brew DCC-690, and probably wouldn't fit any Cuisinart coffee maker with a design like the Cuisinart DGB500BK Grind and Brew, Black.
I'm very pleased with the purchase. The craffe isn't cheap but it's Cuisanart and a quality piece. It arrived days sooner than promised and just like the original that came with the coffee maker.
Im used to making the 14 cup. I love this carafe. Would recommend this brand I still really like it. I accidently hit it against the sink and faucet and it didn't crack. The only thing that I don't like is that it is only a 10 cup coffee maker.
Amazon made it easy to find and the shipping time wasn't bad at all, although it's 2009, UPS--people gotta go to work, can't be sittin' around the house waiting to sign for stuff. The coffee maker this carafe goes with was a gift from my parents and it works really well--just drop the whole beans in the top, add the water and you're good to go. I was really disappointed that I couldn't find a replacement locally and was afraid that shopping online would have me waiting forever (and buying coffee every day or just going without, EEK).
