Positive: When filling nothing runs down the outside - the edge is made correctly. BUT: The first decanter shook - it was not satisfied at the table because the soil is made uneven and not plan. I then tried to play it safe on a straightening plate. The second carafe of the replacement wobbled, so a series fault. This confirms my guess based on other WMF products that WMF now performs no real final quality inspection more. Sorry, but any cheap carafe of Ikea is flat on the table. With such a price must fit - I do not feel like listening to each putting down a half minutes the clatter until it is quiet. Therefore retour. High price for poor quality is not at all.
