I purchased this coffee maker for my husband about 6 months ago.  And how he loves his coffee! Its a great maker of coffee,  but I too have the same problem as others. The lid also broke on ours and I really don't want to purchase another coffee maker at this time. I was willing to replace the whole thermal carafe, but I can't even find the replacement for it. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out with this. Thank you kindly.
