Too delicate to survive!

I have lost 2 of these coffee pots, one with a spout & this one, which highly disappointed me. The bottom of the pot is much too delicate to survive, & although I loved the look, I really hated picking up the shards of glass! The first one shattered on...

You take a risk just trying to hand wash this. We have broken two just by gently bumping them on the side of the sink while washing. Wow!

Product Specifications

The Kona coffee maker promises excellent, rich taste and robust aroma while maintaining the natural oils of the ground coffee. For the perfect cup of coffee, users simply fill the gold, cone-shaped filter with freshly ground coffee beans and pour a small amount of heated water over them until soaked. Slowly pour the remaining hot water into the filter. Coffee will drip into the mounth-blown, borosilicate glass carafe and, in three to four minutes, will be ready to serve. Remove the filter from the carafe before serving and enjoy! The Kona has a 1-liter capacity, ideal for 8 cups of coffee. Additionally, it features a heat-resistant, black, grooved neck and elegant long spout that allows for comfortable, easy pouring. A version of the Kona without the long spout is also available.
