Zojirushi Premium Thermal Carafe, 1.85-Liter, Brushed Stainless Steel

The item is excellent and works great.

It keeps hot only for like 1.5-2 hours then my tea loses most of the heat. Also, the last portion of the tea, it spills somewhere from the lid instead of the actual spilling hole, which is weird.

I love this thermal carafe. Now, I can brew a whole 10-cup Chemex in the morning, and enjoy it throughout the day. A few times now, I've made it at 7 in the morning, and it is still drinkable/warm enough to enjoy after lunch and beyond (if it lasts). This Zojirushi carafe was the final piece in my coffee ritual: sourcing great beans, using an amazing burr grinder (the most important purchase in this equation), mastering the pour over technique and timing, immediately transferring the concoction into the Zojirushi. I was a bit worried to read about how some of them were not holding the heat. That clearly seems to be a correctable error (usually by replacement), that is hopefully not too common. Another troubling thing I saw in these Amazon reviews is the complaint about the top of the carafe and the condensation/liquid getting stuck in it. This common complaint was more concerning than the one about it not holding heat, because poor design can really turn me off to using something. Bottom line: this condensation concern is NO CONCERN when you actually see the top. The top easily snaps apart and back together. You can clean and air dry every single piece of this carafe. Of course, I don't use the Zojirushi daily. It is my weekender, vacation day, or my friends-coming-over carafe. I love the button "CLOSED" and "OPEN" markers. The rotation mechanism on the bottom: ingenious. You can put this in the middle of a table, and not fuss when someone from any side wants to grab hold of it. Love it. I'm giving this 5 stars because it really does bring me enjoyment and allows me to drink or serve all of the coffee I carefully prepare. If only they could make it without as much plastic (there is very little in the Zojirushi, and I think it's used primarily due to its durability); to be crystal clear: the coffee, stored in the glass interior, is never in constant contact with plastic (only when it is poured out). Thank you, Zojirushi, for such a wonderful thing. Also, if you're considering this size or the smaller one, go with this one. When properly preheated with hot water, I see no difference in heat retention based on how full the carafe is.

La jarra está muy buena, mantiene mucho tiempo el agua caliente y buen tamaño casi 2 litros. Lo malo fue la manera en que lo empacaron, ya que solo viene en la caja de la jarra y por dentro no tenia protectores(pero llego bien)

This is a wonderful product! I would rather have this than a water boiler and warmer that needs to be constantly plugged in to electricity in order to keep the water hot. My wife and I have developed the habit of only drinking warm water and wanted something that would keep water hot throughout the day. Early in our experience with carafe, we found how great it works and how it fits our requirements! The carafe looks really nice and modern. It's pretty light, even when it's full of water. It has a glass-lined vacuum chamber, which really keeps hot water hot for hours! The lid has an closed/open button: press the button to open to pour water out and depress to closed to keep the water inside hot. There's no spillage when you pour water out. It's easy to clean too: just rinse with warm water and you are done. What I would do is boil hot water before I sleep, usually around 9PM and fill the carafe. When I wake up at 5:30AM the next day, the water inside the carafe is still hot, good enough for coffee or tea! The only thing is I wished I got Zojirushi's glass-lined airpot instead of the carafe because the airpot has more capacity. A very minor one because I only learned about the airpot right after I placed an order for this one. Nonetheless, we will be keeping this carafe because it works great! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This was exactly what I was looking for, from a reputable Japanese brand. It is a nice product all-round. We have been using it every day for the past couple of weeks, and we are very happy with it. Do try to remember to click the button to seal it after you have poured out some hot water, or the remaining contents will go cold.
