5.0 out of 5 stars Very attractive, works well, January 2, 2007

This review is from: Alfi Basic 30-Ounce Thermal Carafe, Azure Blue (Kitchen)

The blue does indeed shimmer; very attractive color and eye catching design. Functionally, it keeps the liquids hot for a couple hours (we have used it exclusively for coffee) and it cleans easily. The wide bottom keeps it stable, the spout pours without dripping, the top requires only a quarter turn to pour. We were specifically looking for a carafe that was not a push button as the inside-the-cap-button mechanism is hard to get clean, so the twist cap feature is to our liking. It is lightweight, seemingly dent resistant, easy to clean.
Seemed expensive for a carafe but I do not regret spending the money on something we use everyday, enjoy using and looking at, and will probably last 10 years.
Designed well, works well: Highly recommended.
UPDATE;
4 years later and we are still very happy with it.

This review is from: Alfi Basic 30-Ounce Thermal Carafe, Anthracite (Kitchen)

Overall, this carafe keeps liquids hot to my satisfaction. It does a far better job of keeping 30 oz. hot than it does keeping smaller amounts hot as they are consumed. For this reason, I prefer a thermos-type container for anything less than a full pot of tea. If

all you want is a couple hours worth of steaming liquid, this is fine. The stopper is not so easy to grasp - I'd be willing to pay $5 more for push-button operation. It may sound as if I don't like it - I use it daily.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Works! Home-brewed beverages can stay hot and fresh literally all day, January 5, 2006

This review is from: Alfi Basic 30-Ounce Thermal Carafe, Anthracite (Kitchen)

The upside to being a coffee fiend is that you develop a taste for the good stuff after a while - and if you're like us, you've found a way to brew some pretty fine java at home. While that's great news for the wallet (as compared to going out for coffee every morning to the tune of 5 bucks or more), it also has a downside: suddenly, the cheap stuff at work seems really bad by comparison. Your travel mug will run out sooner or later...

Enter the space age carafe. I feel kind of dumb for not catching on to this gadget before, but basically I had no idea that something this good actually existed outside of SciFi; a container that really will keep one's beverage piping hot and fresh all day. The Alfi carafe is a marvel of chic design and high quality German manufacturing. The photo doesn't do it justice, the anthracite color is really very pretty and it's enhanced by the semitransparent double walled construction. It does its job with panache and it's easy to clean (but by hand only, please).

My husband received this as a Christmas gift last week and his whole office wants to know where to get one of these. Eye-catching, elegant and simply the best at a very reasonable price - you just can't go wrong with this one. Next year, this is going to be the present for everybody else on my list.
