Overview
The Krups XB900401 is a 12-cup replacement carafe designed to pair with compatible Krups drip coffee makers. At just 0.35 lb, it is one of the lightest carafes in this category, making it easy to pour even when you are half awake in the morning.
Priced at $43.11, it sits in the mid-range for name-brand replacement carafes. The black finish matches the styling of most Krups machines, and 219 verified buyers have pushed it to a 4.6-star average, which is a strong signal for a replacement part.
Like most glass carafes in this segment, it will not keep your coffee hot the way a stainless thermal pot would. If you brew and drink within 30 to 40 minutes, that is rarely a problem. The slim weight and 12-cup capacity make it a practical daily driver for medium to large households.
Pros
Very light at 0.35 lb, comfortable to pour with one hand
12-cup capacity suits most household drip machines
4.6-star rating from 219 buyers shows consistent satisfaction
Black finish blends with most Krups machine designs
Fair mid-range price for a branded replacement part
Cons
Glass construction means no heat retention once brewing stops
Compatibility limited to select Krups models, verify your machine before ordering
No dishwasher-safe rating listed, hand-washing likely required
Performance notes
At 12 cups and 0.35 lb, the XB900401 is notably light for its size. Buyers consistently note it fits Krups machines without modification and pours cleanly without dripping. The glass construction lets you see the coffee level at a glance, which most reviewers appreciate for morning routines.
What buyers say
The 219-review pool at 4.6 stars points to a carafe that does exactly what people need it to do: fit the machine and hold coffee without leaking. Negative notes are rare and mostly tied to compatibility confusion, not product defects.
Will the Krups XB900401 fit my Krups coffee maker?
It is designed for compatible Krups drip machines, but Krups makes several models. Check your machine's manual or the carafe compatibility list before ordering to be sure.
Is this carafe dishwasher safe?
No dishwasher-safe rating is listed for this model. Hand-washing with warm soapy water is the safest approach to protect the glass and any markings.
Does it keep coffee hot?
No. It is a glass carafe, so heat retention depends entirely on your machine's hot plate. For long-lasting heat without a warming plate, a stainless thermal carafe would be a better fit.
