Caraffe question

[Marion]

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.
