I bought this coffee pot for my husband for Christmas. He used it once and was washing it to use again when the base for the purculator tube came off. It was only attached by 4 tiny spots. All it is good for now is to look at. I looked on and in the...

Same thing happened to me. No luck with the company. I went to Walmart and bought a camping perc and took the tube out of that, put it in the Paula Deen pot and haven't had a problem

Make sure you can return it if it fails. It did make good coffee while it worked, but I had 2 fail within 6 months before I gave up on it. Check out Bonavita coffe makers - very simple, even lacks a shutoff if you remove the coffee pot when it's brewing, but makes great, hot coffee at ideal brewing temp.

Today I went to put it in my coffee, and it looked like it has curcled, such as when regular cream goes bad. However, all it needed was to be shaken as it had separated. So be sure to always shake it up well.

Yes, My coffee pot is 33 yrs old & still works great. The plugs, however, need to be replaced. I often order a few at a time.

I just got mine and last night my kitchen had a faint burning plastic odor. I turned the thing off. If the smell dose not go away in a few weeks I'll return the unit. I expect more from an $100 coffee pot. Its possible that other people haven't smelled it because they're in a building with air conditioning where the air is always being moved around.

The lid is indeed fragile. Cuisinart exchanged one for me and the new one broke also. As a matter of fact the time buttons do not work well and they broke. I ended up using a chop stick to start the coffee maker. I loved the bling, but finally gave in an got a new coffee maker. It opens from front to back. FYI, I had a similar maker w/out the bling that lasted over 10 years. Actually it still works, I gave it to a friend. It is just this bling coffee maker.

My Coffeemaker was only good for 8 month before it gave up on me. The water is very difficult to poor in (the angel) and the coffee is not very hot, bad choice to buy.

Sorry that happened, and I wish I could help, they do not make that pot anymore, I called and emailed them to no avail. Do you have the booklet any more? Never mind, I just looked at mine, and it hasn't got any sort of answer to that, good luck, I have to throw mine out, it has no replaceable carafe!! What a waste.

I did not receive a warranty in the paperwork and I was surprised that there wasn't one. There is a phone number for parts if you need them. I love my pot and have used one just like this one for thirty years and it still works. I couldn't get the coffee stains out of it after all this time. These are wonderful pots and I hope you enjoy yours. I use flavored coffee!

It sounds like it may have broken off. When I received my teapot it was already attached. You shouldn't have to attach anything.

You really don't want this pot.... It is VERY cheaply made.... Please read my review and other reviews. My pot got a mysterious hole in it after only one month of casual use..... Get an NSF certified pot, it is worth the extra money.

I had the same problem. This item and the 12 and 16 quart pots are just junk. Yes you could probably get items replaced but you will just get junk to replace them. To me it is a health issue. We paid a lot of money for Paula Deen Red Speckled cookware. The pans so far hold up. Back to the coffee pot, if you value your health don't use it. We just put artificial flowers in it. James W.

Yes. Bought the coffee maker, followed all directions and successfully brewed our first pot. The first and only cup of coffee tasted fine, but before I could drink the second, the half full carafe imploded, leaving me with a pot of silvery coffee shards. I do not recommend buying this. It is not safe.

I never made a full pot. But the partial pots I made were always rediculously weak because of the many design flaws. The coffee grounds are dumped on one side of the filter, the water comes in the opposite side. The grinder can't be adjusted fine enough. etc. I had to pour the brewed coffee through the filter a second time to get a decent flavor. Find another brand.

I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great. The problem is, we had bought two of them, and they both decided to quit on us with no warning. The second one quit about a month after we bought it. I didn't bother trying to send it back because I was too disgusted and didn't want a replacement. For all I know, the Mr. Coffee will do the same. The electronics are screwed up on the Cuisinart; even before it stopped working both times, the clock and timed-brewing features froze, and we had to plug it in and unplug it to get it to work. I wouldn't buy it.

Hello, sorry, I cannot help you. I have great condition of my coffee pots. Because I bought in Amazon two pots different size for only $19 with free shipping-I think more easy just buy a new one. Try ebay to check parts. Regards. Merry Christmas
