Cuisinart DTC-975TC12BSS 12-Cup Stainless Thermal Carafe with lid, Black



Vacuum seal broke for the second time – no longer insulates

I wish wish wish they could make this thing right.


I bought the coffeemaker after being very impressed with my friend’s model.


When it works, it works great.


In fact, my first thermal carafe, the one that came with the coffee maker lasted about 3 1/2 years. Then one day the vacuum seal seems to have broken. It no longer keeps the coffee hot.


I was made a little nervous by the number of reviewers who had had this same problem, sometimes after only a couple of months, but I liked the coffee maker so I shelled out another 50 bucks or so for a replacement carafe.


With a sizzling noise the vacuum seal broke this morning, just 7 days after the 90 day warranty expired, and now I have another useless carafe.


Well, not exactly useless. It still makes and holds coffee. It just doesn’t keep it hot like it should, which is the whole point.


I really wish Cuisinart would improve their quality control because if this…

Hours of hot coffee without the burn

This is a great product! It keeps your coffee hot for hours without it tasting burnt. It is also fantastic for when entertaining, you want to make a pot of regular and a pot of decaf. The bonus is, if you have the Cuisinart coffee maker, you can make the coffee right into the carafe! However, even if you don’t, hours of hot coffee is just one pour away. Simply pour your pot into the thermal carafe and take your time… your coffee will be hot when your ready to drink it.

Cuisinart replacement Thermal Carafe with lid

This has been a great coffee maker, it wasn’t easy to have dropped the carafe and broken off the pour spout. Thank goodness replacement carafes are available. This one came with the lid (most places require purchase of each piece individually) and the price was the best available.
