They are designed this way so that you can remove the carafe while there is still water percolating and dripping on the grinds without it making a mess everywhere. The alternative is that water would just keep pouring out without anything to catch it and that is just a waste of coffee and pain to clean up.

Indeed, I managed to not replace the office coffee carafe once, and hot coffee was spilled everywhere. 4/10, don't plan on doing that again.

4/10 is still a bit higher than I would expect lol. Is this an absolute scale where 1/10 is like the coffee burned you so bad you had to get your legs amputated?
