I use a borosilicate carafe with a black plastic basket and that has lasted me ~5 years of daily use. Clear plastics tend to crack due to thermal shock as they tend to be more brittle, so this isn't surprising to me. I also have a Hario drip that is glass and I like that one a lot for immersion brewing that I would recommend. The silicone can be a bit too floppy at times though.
