This is my everyday coffee maker's carafe

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

I really love this thermal carafe (it is made in Malaysia). Just like my Thermos Nissan 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Bottle , this carafe keeps my coffee hot for a very long time since I tend to take at least four hours to drink my coffee. The coffee is still a decent temperature even after five hours. If you brewed coffee into this carafe and you don't get to drink it immediately, the temperature only drops about 5°F the first hour and about 3°F each hour afterwards. I can make coffee ahead of time for my guests and even if they run late, I still have piping hot coffee (or other beverage). And since the box says it keeps liquids hot for up to 12 hours, I just had to see what that means. So if I put boiling water in the carafe, over 12 hours later (13 hours when I got to measuring) the temperature drops to 164°F. That's still okay by me.

I brew my coffee directly into my Thermos Nissan carafe. This carafe has a nice pour spout that helps me pour my brewed coffee into my Thermos Nissan 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Insulated Bottle without spilling coffee and burning my hand, something I could not do with the carafe included with my coffeemaker.

The instructions included with this carafe recommend not twisting the cap by using the cap's push lever. While it is natural to do this because of the leverage, that can break the lever. Thermos recommends twisting the cap by holding the two flat sides of the cap. I use a neoprene or rubber grip used for opening jars (a latex glove also works) to hold the cap's flats. The cap can be disassembled for a thorough cleaning (the included instructions tell you and has a diagram how).

The carafe is easy to clean. The outside of the carafe looks like it has a lacquer coating. There is no coating according to the nice Thermos customer service rep I asked. The only place I can feel whether the carafe is hot (warm) is just at the point where the metal and plastic meet. That's great insulation!

PROS:
Very effective thermal carafe to keep liquids hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 24 hours (according to the box).

The pour spout makes it easy to pour coffee or whatever beverage from the carafe into a narrow mouth travel thermos or bottles.

The carafe's wide mouth allows you to put larger ice cubes into the carafe for a cold beverage if you choose.

The included instructions tell and show you how to completely disassemble the top for through cleaning.

CONS
The lid could have a better grip if they don't want you to twist by the level.

Additional note:
If you own a Technivorm Thermo Moccamaster CDT with Thermal Carafe or Technivorm KBT-741 Moccamaster polished silver Coffee Maker 1.25-L. , this carafe can replace the original carafe for brewing. However, I was told that the KBT-741 needs to be raised ¼" to get the carafe to fit underneath the brew basket. At least one seller of the Technivorm will sell you a brew-through lid for this Thermos Nissan carafe so you can brew and pour your coffee with the lid without switching to the lever lid. I replaced my Technivorm Thermal Carafe with this Thermos Nissan carafe and I love my Thermos Nissan. It is definitely a big difference in convenience and thermal retention. For the coffeemaker to work, just make sure to push this Thermos carafe right up to the Techivorm's base to engage the white switch. Don't worry; the coffee drips well within the carafe opening and the carafe can handle all 10 cups. It's too bad Technivorm doesn't offer the Thermos Nissan carafe as an option.

Very high quality pitcher

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is one classy pitcher. It's gorgeous. And it keeps ice water cold all day if I fill it one third with ice cubes. As they melt I have about twelve hours of ice water in a lovely silver colored pitcher. Yes, the ice cubes will not melt completely in this for about twelve hours.

It is dishwasher safe also. I haven't had the problem one reviewer had of this dribbling down the side when I pour from it.

I like the solid way the spout closes and opens with a push of the button. And the lid is heavy duty, very thick and solid. I am proud to leave this out on my coffee table all day and at night I use it next to my bed in case I want a drink of water.

It's an absolute beauty. It's so pretty I am now ordering some matching substantial large glasses to display next to it:
RSVP Endurance Stemless Wine Glass

If you are using this for coffee be aware that it can stain inside after a while as well as give coffee a stale taste. This is true for all coffeepots and coffee makers. The easy solution is to put baking soda in, about a quarter of a cup, or eight ounces of vinegar with water and let it soak overnight. This should make it good as new.

There is also a five year warrenty on this in case you have any problems with it.

This is a nice way to have hot coffee available to guests. It will keep it hot for several hours.

I got what I paid for here. I'm very pleased. It's made by Thermos brand which I have had good luck with over the years.

Works great! Looks great! [Updated after 3 months]

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017

In my household, we boil our water instead of filtering it or drinking from the tap. We also like drinking our water warm and having hot water handy for tea.

This pitcher keeps the water hot for a long time. The next day, water is still warm. It's easy to use and easy to clean. A very welcome addition to the kitchen! I bought one for my mother as a gift as well.

A couple notes: there wasn't much packing material, so in both orders the pitcher a little scuffed. I don't mind, but some might. Be wary when filling with boiling water and capping immediately. Due to the nature of physics and such, steam will build up pressure in the sealed pitcher, making it difficult to open the valve. If you force the valve open, expect steam and hot water to spurt out. This is not a design flaw. If you have qualms with that, either wait before sealing the pitcher, or redefine the laws of physics.

EDIT:
3 months have passed and this Thermos has seen daily use. It was great to have a source of hot, boiled water as the Winter was coming to an end. Now that temperatures are soaring, we still boil our water, but then after chilling it in the fridge we store it in this Thermos for ice cold water wherever we are in the house. It's great to be able to pour a chilly glass of water without having to constantly go to the fridge. The Thermos is part of our daily routine now and we are staying hydrated thanks to it!

Nice, good looking, functional carafe!

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

I rarely assign 5 stars to a product, however, this carafe deserves it. It is a nice looking carafe and is the perfect size (51 oz). It holds over 8 cups of coffee. We only wanted something we could use to keep coffee warm during a meal. It certainly does that. But we also found that it keeps coffee warm for hours. In our first use it kept coffee warm for 10 hours.

I was concerned about reports that the lid is difficult to put on and take off. We have not encountered that problem. It's very easy to put the lid on. Simply align the thumb push button switch with the pour spout. Then turn 1 1/2 times and the lid it on. It doesn't feel tight but it is secure and does not leak. Removal is the reverse. Only moderate pressure is needed to unscrew the lid.

One confusing thing. The paperwork that came with the carafe says it has a 5-year warranty. The box says it has a lifetime warranty.

Keeps liquid hot perfectly

Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

After breaking one too many glass tea mug (as my tea pot doesn't keep tea warm and I kept pouring it into many mugs that would do what the tea pot couldn't), I decided I should try getting something to actually keep my tea warm. I stumbled upon this product and I am fully wowed by it. I got it upon coming back from work at 18h15 or so; then, I quickly washed it and dried it before putting some boiling water in it, which I ended up turning into tea at around 18h30. I drank some of it in the evening, but didn't finish it fully, since it was getting late and the tea was still burning hot, it would take too long to let it cool before drinking more. I slept until 9h the next morning... and the tea was still very hot. Not as burning hot as the night before, but hot enough that it almost burned my tongue. I enjoyed the rest of my tea then and it was as delicious as in the evening. If that doesn't prove that this Thermos carafe works, I don't know what will. I was skeptical about spending so much money on it at first, but it was definitely worth it. If this one ever fails me, I'll definitely buy another one.
