Is the unit skid proof on the counter top? Our old coffee maker moves when you take out the carafe and you have to be careful because it slides.

I am not sure because we bought a sliding coffee stand that we can slide back and forth for putting coffee in filter and filling reservoir with water. It was like $15.00 at Walmart.

Yes, the unit is skid proof. It does not move when removing the carafe. It has rubber on the base.

Oh, by the way, my unit does not slide on my counter at all. It's very steady.Taking it apart to clean it, is just a poor design.

The back is not one solid piece. The top holds the hot coffee when it is brewed. You can clean & fill the top with water at your sink & then pour the water into the bottom for brewing.

No, the top surface is somewhat slick. No slip resistant coating like say a step ladder would have. I only use this as a stepstool in a very tight place, where my normal stepstool is too big. We use this more as a small portable side table, and, my husband uses for a seat while stoking fire in fireplace.

We've had ours about two months and there doesn't seem to be anything on it that can be easily broken. No glass carafe - dispenses coffee one cup at a time. Especially like the led light that is over the cup so that you can see coffee going into a dark interior cup without spilling over.

I have had my coffee maker about as long as you have. I did not experience any problems with my coffee maker. I think my coffee maker was a very good purchase.

No, it will slide. I have an espresso maker on it so it stays in place. It's large so I don't think it would slide real easy.

I've had the same problem. Bad design. The workaround that I've found is to close the top before putting the carafe in place. If you put the carafe in first and then close the top, it doesn't seem to work as well.

Keep your receipt! OGGI stands by their product but only if you have the receipt to prove you bought the item. Biggest problem with the unit is that people break the lever when they tighten or loosen the cap. The cap is strong but the pour lever is quite fragile and will break with moderate pressure. So, don't touch the lever when opening or closing the carafe.

There is some steam as with all coffee makers. I have had coffee makers ruin cupboards if they are on the counter under them. Always put my pot on my island. Love my Mr. Coffee, no problems. The reason I purchased this model was because of the removable water reservoir that you can clean!

I have a coffee maker on top of mine. No problems. But I wouldn't suggest puting it in a tight closed in shelve area because it vents out the upper back of the unit. Just keep that area clear above and behind the unit and you should be O.K.

Coffee goes in from the top. If you have it under a countertop you will need to move it out.

I'm so sorry...I read your question again and see that it was the carafe, not the top, that broke. I definitely would not try to switch tops. I'd call B&D; anyway, and ask them about the carafe and ask if it will fit your coffee maker. They'll likely be able to tell you if the specific replacement carafe(s) you found will fit. They're very nice!

The drawer works perfectly for me, whether full or empty. I have the coffee maker on top of the drawer, but never move the whole unit as such.

If you slowly remove the carafe, it rarely drips. If you are quick about removing the carafe, that's why napkins/paper towels were invented! :-) Had this machine for almost 1 year, and it's the best one I've ever had...I've had machines that cost 5 times what I paid for this one that did not perform as well as the Waring.

They're all like that. Piece of very faulty engineering. Mine also leaks out the end of the handle, dripping coffee on the counter unless I remember to put something under it. 2 weeks ago, just short of a year I've had it, it QUIT.
