Amazon.com Review

Capable of keeping 1 quart of a beverage hot or cold for up to 10 hours, this vacuum carafe is perfect for pouring tea or coffee all day in the home or at the office. The stopper unscrews and comes out so that coffee can be made by a direct-brew method directly into the carafe. Glass-lined, the 10-1/2-inch-high carafe is clad in hard, gleaming, white plastic and wipes clean with a damp cloth. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Simply twist the cap from open to closed and back for dispensing the hot beverage of your choice. Glass and stainless insulate your coffee, tea, or cocoa, keeping it warm at home or at the office.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Blessing, January 10, 2002

By	sweetmolly (RICHMOND, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I don't like "cooked" coffee. Therefore, when coffee is made, I pour it into a carafe, so the last cup is as fresh as the first.

The best thing about this carafe is it does keep the coffee warm for three hours. It is attractive and easy to clean. I have the brushed stainless steel model, and the exterior will shine right up using a soft cloth. The price is very reasonable.

My biggest complaint is that the carafe "dribbles" when you pour the first cup and makes a mess; not a big mess, but an annoying one. Also, it is quite heavy when full. If I had to do it over, I think I would buy a smaller one. However, this one does hold a full pot of coffee (12-cup).

1.0 out of 5 stars pretty exterior but....., December 16, 2002

By	john s. (thornton, CO USA) - See all my reviews

I bought it for the looks and guess what? Thats all I got. The lid does not fit tight however i could have lived with that. The main complaint is it leaked not from the top but out the bottom. Not just a drop or two it made a mess! Don't be fooled it is not made in Japan. Be prepared to return it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inexpensive carafe that will keep your coffee hot., March 24, 2006

By	mhnstr (Christchurch, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

I purchased the black version of this carafe to keep coffee warm at work. The carafe is glass lined, but very durable. Someone at work dropped the carafe onto something hard, resulting in a dent in the carafe and scratches in the finish. I had expected the glass liner to have shattered, but the carafe is still working fine.

I pour hot water into the carafe and swish it about before dumping the hot water out and adding coffee. Adding the hot water first helps to keep the coffee hot for hours on end. I have come back the next morning to find the coffee still warm from the day before.

My only complaint is that the opening in the carafe is small which makes it impossible to clean. After only a short time, the inside of the carafe has turned a brownish color from the coffee. This is not really a big deal since it does not affect the look of the carafe and we only use it for coffee. But if you mind coffee buildup, you might not like this carafe.

In summary, a great, inexpensive carafe that is durable and will keep your coffee hot for hours if you preheat the carafe with hot water first.
