I love this coffee maker, but like others have said, the trigger on the lid snapped.  Actually, this has happened twice.  After the first time, I purchased a new carafe just to get a new lid, because I couldn't see any way to purchase a lid only.  I don't want to go to that expense again.  I'd purchase more lids, though, because I love the coffee maker.  Wish the lid could be redesigned to be more sturdy.
