Review by K. Moose for Cuisinart DCC-1200PRC 12 Cup Replacement Carafe-Black
Rating: 
I have had my Cuisinart coffeemaker for 3-4 years now, and I’m currently on my fifth (!!!) replacement carafe. The carafe is fine. Its handle is sturdy, the carafe has never dribbled, and can hold max capacity of 12 cups of coffee. I use it about twice a day.
My only complaint is that the glass wall of the carafe is thin. My first, second, and third carafes were chipped or broken by falls. However, this latest one was very flimsy: after many months of handwashing (I never put it in the dishwasher), I accidentally tapped the side of the carafe on the granite counter next to the sink, and it _shattered_ into many small pieces. My fifth carafe now is 5 months strong.
Yes, it’s upsetting that the replacement carafes are so expensive. But the coffeemaker itself is excellent, and I won’t change getting replacement carafes (unless there is a generic out there that’s cheaper and sturdier). This makes me think of inkjet printers: they’re so cheap, but the ink is so expensive. The Cuisinart coffeemaker is inexpensive and EXCELLENT, but unfortunately the carafes are expensive.
