Can I lock the carafe on to the base?

No for the KSB560; yes for the KSB1570. Before purchase I'd check the specific model no. to be sure.

Mine leaks too! I used it once (so far) and the liquid stared to leak right on out. I just contacted the seller and am waiting to hear back. I don't know if the one piece jar is such a good idea. ugh

The space is leaving room for the coffee & you don't want to break the glass carafe if you press too hard.

No-the carafe is a thermal carafe. Which I like. The coffee stays hot for hours in it-without getting burnt and that burnt flavor.

Yes, just drill a hole through the lid. There's no provision for locking the rotation, but it hasn't been an issue for me.

I just checked my rack and I don't think it can be locked. I really like mine- so much I got two. No problem so far.

No-the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps the coffee very hot

The frame should have a screw at the top. Loosen it, take the carafe out, put in the new one, tighten the screw. I am assuming yours has a screw as all mine do.

No, the heating element is actually inside the carafe and cannot easily be touched.

No, I don't think so, the mouth is fairly small and not level. We brew separately and then pour in to the carafe.

Don't know how you managed to bend the band on the carafe - strange. I've had my unit for about 3 years without any problems like that. You can find the replacement carafes for that coffee maker on-line and for awhile they were available at my local Target store. The cost for the replacement carafe will be a bit high in regard to what the complete coffee maker originally cost but that's how it is in the world of replacement parts. Sorry for your bad luck with your coffee maker.

No. The carafe's lid presses on the dispenser allowing the coffee to flow into it. I broke the fragile carafe in the first week and can't find a replacement that is identical. Hope this helps.

No, you cannot. You need room to turn the coffee maker so you can see the back right side.

When the lid is removed, the top of the carafe is flat. I have never done that but is looks like it would work. The opening is about 2 1/2 ".

No, l can't since I sent the pot and the brewer back to the company since I did not work with the militia model that I had. They have sent me a new brewer with the appropriate carafe. Kris josephsohn

Your question struck me as a great idea, especially for camping. So, out of curiosity, I put my drip coffee cone on my carafe, and it fit. It's a bit wobbly, but if you're careful, it seems like a workable plan.

Yes but don't buy it, its horrible, you have to put coffee and water in, shut the lid just so. At the end you put the carafe on the plate. If you do it before like feels natural, it will sometimes leak all over. Then its power button stopped working. I unplugged, peeled off the button cover and jiggled things around. It still took a couple of tries for it to power up. Now for some reason it has cured itself and comes on after one push of the button.

You can't really automatically fill a carafe. You will have to either pour it into the carafe from the coffee holder or stand there and fill the carafe through the dispensing hole. The carafe could defeat the purpose of the air free design.
