Cuisinart DCC-2400RC 12-Cup Stainless Thermal Carafe Save 33% Off

I love my Cuisinart Fully Automatic Burr Grind and Brew Thermal Coffeemaker, Model DGB-900BC, except for one thing, the thermal carafe. You see, it dribbles unless you pour it soooo slowly you practically fall asleep. While visiting a friend who bought the exact same model on my recommendation, I noticed that her carafe didn''t dribble. I discovered the design of her pour spout was different and it made all the difference, so to Amazon.com I went where I found a new replacement carafe for a great price. As usual, the transaction was handled professionally and the item arrived on time, however, it was the exact same item I was trying to upgrade so I returned it. Now, here''s where Amazon shines: I received a prompt and no-hassle refund of the entire amount, including shipping costs. You can''t ask for more than that. After some further research, I found a new item number and was able to upgrade my coffeemaker with the improved carafe, but if you''re out there looking, here''s what you need to know: 12 Cup Thermal Carafes for the Cuisinart DGB-900BC and DCC-2400 come in two varieties: 1) The "Dribble" Carafe Item #DCC-2400RC and 2) The "Happy Java" Carafe Item #DCC-2400CRF. For a really good cup of coffee, I recommend the latter.

2/20/2012 UPDATE: Upon further research, and after reading responses to the above review, I believe I have discovered the real cause of the carafe dribble. The rubber gasket that is seated around the shaft below the lid assembly, and provides the seal between the carafe and the lid, is subject to jamming and causes the leak. By applying a thin film of vegetable oil to that gasket, and therefore reducing resistance (I use a drop of olive oil on my index finger), you will notice the lid closes more smoothly and the leak disappears. I have not experienced a single drip since discovering this remedy, and periodic re-oiling, whenever resistance returns, will maintain the tight seal. Now, I still prefer the newer carafe design, because it pours faster, but the dribble is not a function of the earlier design, rather the jamming of the gasket surrounding the lid.

I purchased this carafe after getting tired of buying glass carafe for $24.00. I figure if it is made of metal, my wife can''t break it. The problem was that the 12 cup insulated carafe is to large to fit in the cuisinart 1200 coffee maker i own. But i went to a store and found that he 10 cup does fit.

At least five hours after the warmer goes off and still hot; my dream of a coffee pot. This beautiful looking pot replaced the glass one that came with the coffee maker. It keeps the coffee hot for most of the day, and warm into the evening, long after most would be looking for a fresh brew. But I''m one that can enjoy "aged" coffee on a busy day, so I am very pleased with this product. Looks great, exceeded my expectations, and won''t break should it get dropped (perish the thought). Double the price of the glass one, but much more than twice the value, I believe.

This is a lovely thermal carafe, but be sure to check whether it will fit on your coffeemaker. I bought it to go with my Cuisinart CHW-12 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Hot Water System because it was in the "people who bought this also bought this" section. The carafe is much too big to put on the coffeemaker, so I can''t have coffee made directly into the carafe as I''d hoped.

If you somehow break one or you want two (my wife and I like different coffee), this is the ticket. But make sure it fits, it''s a 12 cup; the most common one Cuisinart makes is a 10 cup.
