I have had this coffee maker approximately 10 months--love it! However, the lid broke about 4  months ago, the same as in the picture that someone submittted. I glued the lid stem back on, and added some stick on rubber feet to the top of the carafe, to prevent from pushing the lid stem down too far.

I have been trying to find another lid or carafe, with no luck. 

Perhaps B&D can redesign the carafe with a lid stop on top, to prevent pressing the lid stem too far down.
