Amazon.com Review

Well-respected Zojirushi brand makes durable, reliable products. This thermal carafe is no exception, with a classic, simple design that keeps coffee and other hot beverages hot for hours. A button you press with your thumb while gripping the handle opens the carafe for serving, doing away with the need to partly unscrew the lid for pouring. An indicator on the lid tells you if the carafe is open and ready to serve, or closed. When open, the outer rim supports coffee filter holders for brewing coffee directly into the carafe. --Cynthia Nims

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't complain at all, January 25, 2005

I have had this carafe & a larger version for 10 years & still am amazed at how long the coffee stays hot! If you want the liquid to stay hot even longer, pre-heat the carafe with hot tap water. I do this on colder mornings when I know I want the coffee to stay hot until later in the day. Even my picky, engineer, coffee addict of a husband who prefers lawsuit hot coffee says it works okay!

2.0 out of 5 stars Zojirushi Premium 2.01-Quart Thermal Carafe Nightmare, November 19, 2002

This review is from: Zojirushi Premium Thermal 1.85 liter Carafe, Brushed Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

I purchased this product because I wanted a thermal carafe that would hold more than run of the mill carafes you find at your local discount store. At first the carafe performed beautifully. But after a few months use, I noticed that the stopper top mechanism was sticking. This is the pushbutton device that opens the stopper to dispense the liquid and closes at the touch of a button when you are done pouring and want to close the carafe to keep the heat in. I consulted the instruction sheet that accompanied the item and there were instructions for cleaning the stopper top to prevent the sticking. I followed the directions carefully but this did not cure the problem. So I went to Zojirushi's website and left a message for Customer Support, detailing my problem. After several weeks and no answer, this morning I called Zojirushi's toll free Customer Support number. I got the shock of my life when I was informed that all non-electric Zojirushi products do not carry any sort of warranty! I couldn't believe what I was hearing, so I checked the paperwork that accompanied the product and, sure enough, there is no warranty whatsoever. I informed the Customer Support person that I would never, ever, buy another Zojirushi product again.
While the carafe does an excellent job of keeping hot beverages hot for long periods of time, the fact that you have to insert your fingernail into the mechanism to get the carafe to close speaks loudly of a design defect that Zojirushi knows about (why else would they print detailed instructions on correcting the problem that are included with all new purchases?) and refuses to correct. Never again for me for a Zojirushi product.

I got 2 of these 3 weeks ago and now it is selling for $5 less which is very annoying. That aside, I was happy to report that the ones I got haven't had the problem of the other reviewers. My family have been used a Zojurushi thermal for over 20 years and it finally had to be retired since we cracked it. We use it to keep water hot. I did a test, 12 hours after I put boiling water in, I checked the termperature, it was 152F which is not boiling but hot enough to scorch my mouth. It does what it's supposed to and it has that industrial styling, if that's what you like.
