Capresso Carafe Replacement: Order by Part Number, Not Cup Count
Capresso lists carafes by part number - 4426.01 is the 5-cup, and the 10-cup and 12-cup are separate parts again. Cup count alone will not get you the right one, because several Capresso machines share a capacity while taking different jugs.
Does it fit your machine?
Match your model number exactly — the code on the rating label, not the name on the front of the machine.
| Model | Notes |
|---|---|
| Capresso 5-cup machines | Part 4426.01, sold as the 5 Cup Replacement Carafe. |
| CoffeeTeam GS (10-cup) | Has its own 10-cup carafe listing - not the 12-cup. |
| Capresso 12-cup glass | Separate 12-cup part with a black lid. |
| 303 espresso machine | Takes a 4-cup glass carafe, a different part again. |
| Thermal models (MT, ST series) | Vacuum jug, not glass. Does not interchange. |
Your model is not on this list. Do not assume it fits — send us the model number and we will check it.
OEM or aftermarket?
Capresso identifies its carafes by part number, and that is the only reliable way to order one. 4426.01 is the 5-cup. The 10-cup and the 12-cup are separate parts again, and the 303 espresso machine takes a fourth, smaller jug.
Cup count on its own will not get you there, because several Capresso machines share a nominal capacity while taking different carafes.

Find the part number
Two places to look: the base of your existing carafe, or the spare parts section of the manual. Either gives you a code like 4426.01, and searching that code is far more reliable than searching the machine name.
If both are gone, fall back to the machine model and buy a listing that names it — Capresso listings are generally explicit about which machine they fit, which makes this easier than most brands.
The four families
- 5-cup drip — part 4426.01.
- 10-cup — CoffeeTeam GS has its own carafe; it is not the 12-cup.
- 12-cup glass — separate part with a black lid.
- 303 espresso — a 4-cup glass carafe sized for an espresso machine, sharing nothing with the drip range.
And as on every brand, thermal models take a vacuum jug that does not interchange with any of the glass parts.
Buy OEM on this one
The carafes are cheap enough that the saving on a copy is small, and the part numbers make ordering correctly easy. What you are paying for is a jug that seats flat on the warming plate and opens the brew-through lid as it goes in — a near-miss on either is a daily annoyance rather than a one-off.
If the carafe is not the problem
Coffee that tastes stale or bitter is usually the warming plate rather than the jug: half an hour on heat does that to any brew. And a machine that has slowed down or stopped running hot is telling you about scale, not about glass.

Questions about this part
Why will cup count not tell me the right carafe?
Because Capresso has built several machines at the same nominal capacity with different jug geometry. A 10-cup CoffeeTeam GS carafe and a generic 10-cup are not the same part. The number that identifies the carafe is the Capresso part code, such as 4426.01.
Where do I find the part number?
On the base of your existing carafe, or in the manual under spare parts. If both are gone, match on the machine model name instead and buy a listing that names it explicitly - Capresso listings tend to say which machine they are for.
Is the 303 espresso carafe the same as the drip ones?
No. The 303 takes a small 4-cup glass carafe sized for an espresso machine. It shares nothing with the drip range.
Can I put a glass carafe on a thermal Capresso?
No. The MT and ST series are built around a vacuum jug with different height and lid arrangement. Glass and thermal do not swap on any brand, and this one is no exception.
Aftermarket or OEM?
Capresso carafes are inexpensive enough that OEM is the sensible default, and the part numbers make it easy to order the right one. The saving on a copy is small and the failure mode - a jug that does not seat on the warming plate or does not trip the brew-through lid - is a daily annoyance.
My carafe is fine but the coffee tastes stale.
Then the jug is not the problem. Coffee left on a warming plate goes bitter within half an hour regardless of the carafe, and a machine overdue for descaling brews cooler and extracts unevenly.
