This was a perfect fit for my Krups Caffe Duomo and exactly as described. I was happy to think to actually look for a carafe since I was just going to buy a new, boring Mr Coffee!

I have had a Krups Cafe Duomo for 5 years - coffee for my husband - espresso for me. I have ordered replacement parts directly from the manufacturer, but this time I decided to shop around online since the replacemet carafe for the coffee pot is an odd size(8 cup)and shape. Stores just did not seem to carry it and if they did, it was the wrong color. I checked Amazon, it was available right away. The cost was lower than a store and less than the manufacturer. Thank you for the convenience.

I wrongly purchased this carafe, insofar as I have a Braun coffeemaker at my office -- I ordeed it from home. I am using it, anyway, and it works fine. I suspect it does fine with a Krups maker as well. I have just one complaint: it has no numbers on the side, indicating how much water is in the carafe. I like to know how much water I am pouring into the machine BEFORE I pour it in.

My hubby says to just take the spring out of the filter piece and the coffee will run right through. I have not tried this, but I imagine it would work...without the lid! This is a problem, however, if your filter is not directly over the pot (you could have coffee all over the counter).

The pot itself is the same one that the coffee maker came with so I was very satisfied with that aspect. I knew prior to buying (by reading the other reviews) that the item DOES NOT COME WITH THE LID which you need. Luckily I had my old lid still but really who does that...sell the replacement in two parts? Apparently Krups does. Because of this once my coffee pot bites the dust I will never buy another Krups product again. Both because of the pot and lid being sold as separate items and because there is no mention of this essential bit of info in the description. Thank God for the reviewers.
