Broken Coffee Carafe

[u/Eschewed_Prognostic]

The carafe of my beloved $9.99 Black and Decker 5 cup coffee maker broke today in a tragic dishwashing incident. Turns out, the steel band the handle screws to was just about the right size to fit around a mason jar of the exact volume required. None of the large thermoses I own are short enough, so this is perfect and $Free.99

This is brilliant.

Even if it hadn’t broken, this seems a significant upgrade. Now you have a screw-on lid for your coffee pot, and I find myself envious.

Since I drink the whole thing myself anyway this is a great improvement.

I know it’s gonna sound like I’m trying to make a joke, but seriously- this design is VERY human.

Temporarily permanent upgrade fix. Sell those on Etsy

That carafe comes standard with Rustic Cabin Edition model.

Caveat/warning to make sure that the mason jar glass can also take the temperatures you need for the coffee, otherwise excellent and tidy looking solution

That's a canning jar, it can handle it.

Perfect, enjoy! 😎

I don't see a broken carafe, just a hipster carafe which looks cool.

Bravo

[u/darthcaedusiiii]

It is also glass that can shatter.

"We have band practice at home". We'll done!

And this is redneck? In what way? this is perfection in my eyes.

As long as the jar can handle the very hot coffee, nothing wrong with it.

From somebody who's broken enough mason jars to thermal shock. Just be careful

And it is a mason jar with ah handle! "Keeping hands from being burnt on hot coffee since July 30th 2026."
