IDEUS Thermal Coffee Carafe 68oz, Beverage Dispenser Metallic

Bon produit qui garde la chaleur pendant des heures. Cher mais ça vaut le cout. Je recommande

I will preface this with, in our household a carafe for coffee is an ESSENTIAL item. We drink french press coffee and a lot of it. We absolutely need a carafe to keep our coffee at peak performance! It finally came time to replace the German manufactured carafe we have been using for 10+ years. I read some of the complaints before we purchased this and wanted to share our experience. First of all, the fit and finish on this carafe is spot on. Overall the design is aesthetically pleasing. I chose the black and silver model. It appears to be powder coated and is definitely scratch resistant. The lid fits firmly with little to no wiggle and gaps. It is most definitely a VACUUM carafe. You do have to tilt to 90° to pour, but don't see this as a problem. The push button to pour, located on the handle, functions exactly as it should. This feature was a major deciding factor in the purchase (as well as it's size). It holds 68 ounces, as labeled. As for holding temperature, we ran a test on it. Here are the results: 175.2° F @ start 168.1° F @ 1 hour 156.3° F @ 2 hours 146.1° F @ 4 hours 131.5° F @ 8 hours 120.0° F @ 12 hours I am pleased with these results. Especially since we finish our coffee in the 1 to 2 hour range. I took the temperature with a probe thermometer and opened the carafe every time to test it. In doing that, it obviously lost temperature faster than it would have if I just poured a cup and tested it. I am definitely not a scientist and realized my testing mistake about 8 hours in. I will also note I didn't preheat the carafe with hot water. I am sure that would enhance the results. All in all, for the price and the quality, I would recommend this Ideus thermal carafe. I will update this post if there are any major items that arise.

The product was great!!! It kept the hot water piping hot for ages, was extremely impressed as I drink gallons of tea and always end up re boiling the kettle at least twice. Sadly when filling it up one morning I noticed that some of the inner coating had started to peal off. with no visible damage to the exterior this must be one that got by quality control.

Kept contents at good temperature. Easy to pour. Felt comfortable in my hands whilst pouring. Very happy with my purchase. Thanks.

Amazing keeps coffee hot for almost a day!
