Carafe handle feels loose or wobbly, risking spills when pouring.

Safety first: Do not carry a full carafe by a loose handle; support the base to avoid burns from spills.

• Inspect handle: With the carafe empty and cool, check for visible screws or fasteners on the handle.
• Tighten screws: If accessible, gently tighten the screws with an appropriate screwdriver. Do not overtighten and crack the glass or plastic.
• Check for cracks: If the handle or its mounting points are cracked, replace the carafe.

Never attempt to glue a cracked handle; always replace the carafe with a compatible T-fal part.
