Rating: - Braun KFK12FL 12-Cup Coffee Maker
I am an avid lover of good coffee and the Braun coffee maker is one of the best machines we've ever owned for the initial cash outlay. However, there is one serious problem with this device and that is the quality of the carafe. It's made from almost paper thin glass and the slightest little bump in the wrong area will create a glass fracture which envariably leaks from then on. And the replacement is so very expensive which leads me to think the Braun Company is in the business primarily to profit from their after market sales of carafes. Sorry to tell you this "Mr Braun Company," I'll never purchase another one of your carafes.

Rating: - yes, it does break easily
It may be "scratch-resistant" but it sure isnt' break resistant. This is also my fourth carafe which broke while washing. The machine is great but as others have implied, it gets expensive replacing the carafe once or twice a year. If I could do it over, I woudl have bought a stanless steel carafe.

Rating: - Very Durable Carafe
We are voracious coffee drinkers. I have owned many different coffee makers but I think my Braun has preformed the best. As far as durability of carafes, I have had the same one for over 4 years and it finally broke this morning. I think $14 every four years is quite reasonable. It is a thin, light glass carafe so I was expecting it to last about 6 months like most of my other coffee makers.
I have been totally pleased with the durability of the Braun carafe!
