Someone gave me a starbucks french press & I love it. But I dropped it & the glass carafe broke. So I bought the bodum & the carafe would fit into Starbucks so when my friend came over, shoe wouln't have to know i broke her gift. But my boyfriend broke the new carafe! I was hoping to by TWO new carafes, not only for back up in case one of us gets clumsy again, but also so I can make more coffee more quickly when we have a lot of company over. Any suggestions on where to look? Especially for a bargain! Thanks!

Alot of the stainless steel carafe coffee pots I checked out don't have a warmer underneath. Also the coffee pots that you put your coffee cup right underneath all have mixed reviews as to how long they work. I just want to find a decent coffee pot that keeps the coffee hot

So, I've clearly been bad about cleaning my coffee maker regularly and not letting coffee sit inside for hours on end. Now I have a coating of dark, brown, hard, coffee residue on the bottom of the carafe. Problem is the carafe is designed so there is just a 2" diameter hole on the top - not big enough to stick my hand in and scrub. It's soaking in vinegar now, but I'm not seeing much progress. Any suggestions? Thanks!
