1st Customer Review : Better than original
Over the years, I've had to replace the glass carafe that came with my Krups espresso maker several times. I was thrilled when I found this generic carafe because it's made of heavier glass and costs about half as much. Now if someone would only come out with a replacement lid! (Krups lids are just as flimsy as their carafes -- the tabs that are supposed to hold the lid to the carafe snap off with the slightest touch.)
Bottom line -- if you need to replace your Krups carafe, get this Medelco one instead and save up for a better machine.

2nd Customer Review : Better than original and Amazon's picture, no lid
Thanks to the "Better than original" review and others. I agree with the reviewer: "thicker and heavier than the original, and half price of the other". No lid is included, so I reuse the lid, which I have. The lids fits the carafes fine. I have two lids and two carafes: one lightly tight, and one lightly loose. The lid forces coffee to going directly to the carafe (no coffee splashing).
I ordered two carafes because shipping is almost as much as the cost of one carafe; shipping cost of two carafes is the same as one carafe's. The glass looks clear, high quality, and better than Amazon's picture. Amazon's picture shows some greenish of the glass (low quality glass). Shipping speed is fairly good.
Here is my two cents. After washing, I put the carafe on a paper towel and in my coffee maker (reducing the risk of hitting something hard), not together with dishes anymore. I avoid to put the carafe near by anything hard (i.e. dishes, other mugs, cups, etc.)...
3rd Customer Review : It's a Carafe!
The good:
It's an espresso carafe!
Good, standard replacement
The not so good:
White handle, not black
Having broken the carafe to my espresso machine, natch, I endured for a long time with a makeshift pitcher. I finally got tired of having to estimate the water amount and decided to treat myself to a replacement. It's nice to have the lines on the side again; I feel more legit making my espresso now.
I deduct one star for cost. While it is not as expensive as other replacements, I ask myself why it costs as much as it does. It's not precision equipment, it's a freakin' carafe. Oh well. It certainly measures up to what it should be, there are no defects, and I can't find one for cheaper. I suspect that if Ikea set their minds to the problem, they'd have their Swedish elves somehow churn them out for two bucks a pop. Maybe by the next time I break an espresso carafe, which I see in the near future...
Anyway, it's...
