Andrew James 1L Thermal Coffee Carafe Double Walled Vacuum Jug, Stainless Steel Insulated Tea & Coffee Pot for Hot and Cold Drinks, Thermal Jug Flask Leak Proof Dispenser, Durable and Portable

I usually fill a flask with coffee to last me all morning and then another in the afternoon. I find this works for me and saves me having to constantly interupt my work to get a beverage. I wanted to try this Carafe from Andrew James as I know the make to be a good one and the 1ltre size would serve me all day. Made from stainless steel, the Jug is smart looking in design with a black top and black handle and the top has a lever to allow the coffee to pour . This is much better than taking the top off a flask as no air can rush in and cool the contents. I use a strong coffee bag in my flask and I needed 3 bags to make a decent coffee in the Carafe. I made the first lot last night at 10pm to see how long it would keep hot. This morning, at 10am, the coffee was still hot enough to drink and in fact, I used half the contents before getting a fresh brew. I am very pleased with this Carafe from Andrew James and highly Recommend

The handle is much more practical than many others. Substantial, with grooves for the fingers, and curving inwards, for added safety. For myself the only difficulty is that the pouring slot only opens when lid Is fully tightened. This keeps the heat in. But I have arthritic fingers and can’t open it all the way. I can manage by not quite pushing it all the way when it’s filled. Most people wouldn’t it find it a problem. I can remove the lid very briefly before pouring. But it still remains hot for a long time. Hotter than most I’ve tried.

Excellent for both chilled and hot water that needs to be taken to another room.

The absence of pop up lid is the only drawback.

This looks smart, is well balanced full or empty, and decent value. BUT it doesn't do it's main job very well. Boiling water kept in this jug cools significantly faster than my old, battered, German catering jug. Unfortunately only any good if you drink your drinks soon after they are made.

Extremely good product. Very pleased with purchase, tidy and keeps water hot for extra cuppa when required …

This is ideal for when you want a hot drink in your garden but don't want to keep going in and out of your home to get one . I take this full of boiled water into my garden and it stays hot I love it .

It looks much better than having a flask in your kitchen and keeps tea hot all day. Makes life easier if you like lots of tea during the day. After leaving it on the side all day it left a grey mark which only came off with bleach so it needs to be placed on a teapot mat / placemat.
