Three broken!
Three of these glass carafes broke. First time chalk it up to consumer use. Two more times? Clearly a problem with quality. The glass is extremely thin! I now use a small stainless steel frothing pitcher.
EDIT: Flimsy and breaks easily.
I broke my original carafe for the Capresso 303 Espresso Machine (and when I say broke it, I mean I dropped it from the kitchen counter onto the floor, roughly a five foot drop onto a hard surface). I don’t put much stock in other comments about the original or this one being made of flimsy glass, if you drop it from a height – even a small height – most any glass carafe is likely to break.
It’s a perfect replacement for the original carafe that comes with the 303. The lid fits snugly but easily under the filter. Not sure what the other reviewer’s reference to the lid not fitting properly refers to, perhaps the manufacturer has modified the lid since that review. Either way, it’s a perfect fit.
After I dropped and broke the original carafe, I tried a couple different “universal/generic” carafes and found with each a tough fit, a lot of dripping and spillage, and overall poor results. With this carafe, I am now back to being able to enjoy a full serving of…
Perfect Replacement
We love our little Capresso 303 Espresso machine. We use it for travel, because our super automatic doesn’t travel well. Needless to say, this carafe doesn’t travel well either, but the replacement works great and comes with padding that we put in the box with the maker.
