Does this machine come with glass carafe or thermos? The title says "thermo carafe" but in the description it says it is a glass carafe. I am looking for one with a glass carafe.

The red one pictured is definitely a glass carafe. The one I purchased is definitely a stainless steel thermos carafe. I have had this coffeemaker for a longer period of time than any others..good coffee.

There are two models. One has glass the other a steel thermos. Unfortunately I don't know the model numbers but you can probably find them on line and then compair with the Amazon listing.

The one I got comes with a Thermal Carafe. It will keep coffee warm for more than 8 hours. The product is great.

Yes, re the glass. as far as the cooking...Ours didn't even heat up and we had to return it. We had purchased it for some fundraisers we had coming up and could not get a replacement in time so we didn't try a replacement or another kind.

It comes with the carafe but not a carry bag. I just keep it in the original box.

I agree. The thermal carafe is a major shortcoming; coffee is only lukewarm after one hour. Why is it that my $10 thermos from CVS keeps coffee HOT for 5 hours. One writer has the right idea: heat the carafe with very hot water before brewing. Had I known this I would not have bought this product --- the 2nd Cuisinart appliance I purchased that did not fulfill its promise (the other one being the fairly wretched waffle-maker.) No more Cuisinarts for me!

I think it would be considered a thermal carafe, although it does not keep coffee hot for too long. We are on our 2nd of these-the first conked out after 2 weeks. So far, this one is working fine. I would recommend only buying from Amazon, not the 3rd party, as they do not stand behind the warranty.

I'm pretty sure you can purchase another carafe separately. Searching Amazon for "capresso mt600 carafe" brought one up in about the third result. When I unpacked the full coffeemaker there was a form with the instructions for ordering replacement parts; that might be another option for you. I'd check the manufacturer's website for links about spare parts or, failing that, a way to contact customer service to get help finding one to order if you can't/won't buy the one from Amazon for some reason. Make sure you're getting a carafe and lid designed for the right model coffeemaker (this discussion is about MT600 - make sure that's what you have) because proper fit between the carafe lid and the basket is critical to avoiding overflow issues. Another, likely cheaper, option might be to get any random insulated thermos. Brew first pot of coffee and pour it in the thermos. Give the coffeemaker a few minutes between pots (as directed in the instructions,) and brew a second pot. I think the coffeemaker industry standard "cup" is 4-5 oz., so as long as your thermos can hold at least 50 oz. of liquid, you should be fine. It wouldn't hurt to measure the volume of liquid in a full pot of the Capresso to be sure ahead of time. Pre-heat the thermos with hot tap water to make it keep that first pot hot even longer.

No, the carafe is heat-resistant glass, with plastic handle. We think the machine does a good job, and has convenient features. Good Buy.

This carafe is all plastic. Keeps contents warm about an hour and is probably lighter than a glass Thermos-like carafe.

No, it does not come with a carafe. It just comes with the glass coffee pot that you see in the photo.

The carafe is glass. I know that you can order an after market metal carafe through Amazon.com.

Brian, the unit you see in the image is the entire unit, no carafe. There's room under the spouts for a standard mug or two espresso cups. I love our Capresso Ultima and use it every day!

have gone through 3 Saeco coffeemakers in the past 2 years. I have 2 glass and 1 thermal carafes. Make me an offer.

I have the glass lined thermal cafe, and I like the coffee very much. My son has the glass carafe, and wishes he had the thermal.

Carafes are glass. Plastic would not be suitable for the hot plate feature! This unit works very well.

We've had our for about 4 months. It was a refurbished model. We have been very pleased. I was accustomed to pre-heating my husband's cup with hot water, so pre-heating the carafe was not a problem for me. Our carafe keeps the brew hot for about 8 hours. Believe it or not, it is still warm (not hot) after 18 hours. We've been very pleased so far. I'd keep bugging Cuisinart until you get what you paid for.

It does not have a heating element. The stainless steel carafe is supposed to keep the coffee warm after brewing, but it does not. It is a lousy coffee machine, frequently overflowing if the lid is not aligned perfectly while brewing.

no the bottom is plastic, but this carafe will keep drinks warm for 6 hours or longer. It has a thermos type liner. We LOVE ours!
