Can anyone tell me if there is a secret to opening the bottom of the caraffe to get the water that is in there out. Mines just keeps leaking until it empties out. It looks like there is an indent on the base that can simply be turned with a coin but mine will not open. Is there another way.

Thanks
 
Muscle Power will get it open. The slip on the bottom does allow you to open it. Try something bigger than a coin... mabe a stoneware scraper. Keep working at it. I learned that mined opened when I saw my sister in law do hers. The problem was that it has sat for 2 years and never been apart so it was not an easy task. When you get that off... the next ring also comes off but even harder.
 
for any help you can provide.There are a few potential solutions you can try to open the bottom of your carafe and drain the water:1. Use a coin or flat object to twist the indent on the base counterclockwise. This should loosen the bottom and allow you to open it.2. If the indent is not working, check for any other screws or latches on the bottom of the carafe that may need to be loosened or opened.3. Some carafes have a release button or lever on the bottom that needs to be pressed or pulled in order to open the bottom. Check for any buttons or levers and try pressing or pulling them.4. If none of the above methods work, try using a pair of pliers to grip and twist the bottom of the carafe. Be careful not to apply too much force and potentially damage the carafe.5. If all else fails, you may need to contact the manufacturer for specific instructions on how to open the bottom of your carafe. They may also be able to provide a replacement part if needed.
