Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, I LOVE this coffee maker. Makes great cold brew and very easy to clean. The SS filter and cap are great quality. Unfortunately, the carafe is EXTREMELY FRAGILE. I have now now broken two of them and won't be buying a third. Both broke in the same spot at the base. The first time, I had just made a full pot and barely (and I really mean barely) tapped it against the shelf in the cupboard as I was putting it away (I brew at room temp). Coffee went everywhere and I had to clean every dish in there. The second time it was empty and broke by just setting it next to the sink. I was so shocked because I have been even more gentle with the second one. For $40 I expect this to be A LOT more durable. Several other reviewers have had the exact same issue...so buyer beware. Honestly, this carafe should be made out of Pyrex. You can buy a 1L Erlenmeyer flask on Amazon for less than $13 which is almost the same size and shape as this carafe. I have one for brewing beer and that thing is indestructible. The point is...for $40 I think Ovalware could provide a Pyrex version and still make good margins on their product. That would make this the ultimate cold brew maker and I would immediately buy another one!
