Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The world leader in high-quality thermal carafes, Alfi designs and produces products with aesthetic appeal and superior performance. Employing cutting-edge technology, state-of-the art materials, and the craftsmanship of world-renowned designers, Alfi elevates the common carafe to a work of scientific and artistic excellence. In addition, only environmental-friendly technical equipment is used in the manufacture of Alfi products.
The Sophie Carafe features the AlfiDur vacuum hardglass liner, high-quality polypropylene, and a screw stopper. The double-walled AlfiDur vacuum hardglass liner keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Before assembly each glass liner undergoes an operational test. Other outstanding features include:
- The hinged lid provides single-hand operation and is food safe.
- The twin-walled AlfiDur toughened hardglass liner creates a vacuum between the walls, allowing neither heat nor cold to escape; 100-percent performance tested.
- The seal prevents the escape of radiant heat.
- The body of the flask is comprised of high-quality raw materials e.g. copper and brass. Top quality is achieved by hand craftsmanship.
- The seals/screw fittings are food-safe and quality-tested. Each part can be replaced or repaired.

Amazon made right on poor packaging,
By Mitzi Lou (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alfi Sophie Ink Blue Thermal Carafe, 1-Liter (Kitchen)
The first one arrived somewhat loose in a box, must have rolled around because the shinny finish was marred and couldn't be corrected. I sent it back and had a replacement sent. Much better care was taken with second shipment and it arrived nice and shinny. This is an outstanding carafe that seals really tight at the top to keep the coffee hot. Superior to the Thermos brand carafes. For serious coffee drinkers it's much better drinking coffee from a carafe than coffee that's been cooking on the coffee maker burner a couple hours.

Perfect!,
By Guaira "Gadget Crazy" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alfi Sophie Ink Blue Thermal Carafe, 1-Liter (Kitchen)
I have no clue what the other reviewers are talking about when they state that this carafe does not keep their water/coffee hot! They must've not read the instructions, and are not "pumping" the little lever two or three times after closing the lid. A vacuum is created when you do that, and next time you press the lever (e.g. to pour the liquid out) you actually hear a PFFFFT! My water, which I pour into a cup for tea, is kept VERY hot for several hours. I mean 5-6 hours, being hot enough to brew tea (luke-warm water would not work!) Yes, not for 13 hours as stated in the description, but I am not using boiling water, just hot water that comes from a normal office cooler (around 180 degrees Farenheit... water boils at 312 degrees!)
Regarding the capacity: exactly 4 metric cups. Basically: 1 liter, or around 1/4 of a gallon. I guess that could be translated into "8 cups" of coffee or tea, if each cup does not hold 1 metric cup... but, I agree that the description is misleading because I was thinking at first that it will have a capacity of 2 liters (8 metric cups). With that said, 1 liter is plenty of water/tea for me in a regular day. Regarding the color: yes, it is not as glossy as in the picture, but it is not too far from it. WAY better than one of those ugly aluminum or steel carafes with black plastic on the top and bottom!!! All in all, this is a fantastic product, for an excellent price. Just don't forget to pump!!

Carafe,

This review is from: Alfi Sophie Ink Blue Thermal Carafe, 1-Liter (Kitchen)
We bought these so our guests could have ice water in their rooms. The ice literally stays frozen for days...even when the top is off.
A good value and does the job for our B & B guests. Betty, Casa Montaña Bed & Breakfast, Redstone, Colorado
