Coffee Carafe for Keeping Hot - 102oz/3L Airpot Coffee Dispenser with Pump

This caraffe is great! Works well and keeps the coffee HOT for approximately 12 hours! I do pre heat first as suggested. I fit 16 cups of coffee in it! Looks professional.

I've only had this dispenser for a couple of weeks, but so far it seems very good. I use it to keep the coffee that I brew in the morning warm all day. It does a pretty good job. It does not have the thermal qualities of a Yeti, but it's better than the other thermal dispensers and carafes that I have tried. To help it keep the coffee warmer longer, it helps to fill it with hot water and then empty it before adding the hot coffee. I usually buy a similar dispenser from Walmart for about half the price, but the plastic pump part in the lid cracks within a year or two and then I'd have to buy another. This one has better pumping action than the Walmart one, but doesn't keep the coffee as hot. The Walmart has a glass inside and this one is steel. That being said, I still like it better the other ones I've tried. I hope the pump will last. If it is still going strong after a couple of years, I'll update my review. So far I would recommend it and don't think anyone would be disappointed with this product. Update 1-24-18 Mine is still working well. I noticed that the advertising says it will keep liquid hot 24 hours. I'm wondering if this is a new improved version because my carafe only keeps my coffee hot about 4 hours. I make coffee at about 7:30 am and by noon it is only luke warm. If they did improve it with insulation similar the Yeti products, I would be willing to buy the new version. If anyone knows the answer to this, please post. If they did not improve it with better insulation, I would say the claim to keep liquids hot for 24 hours would be false advertising. Update 6-21-18 After using this daily (about a year and 3 months) for our morning coffee, the pump started to get weak. It would take about 12 pumps or more to fill a coffee cup. I replaced it with the same model and now it only takes 2 pumps to fill a coffee cup. I noticed the instructions state to fill it with hot water first before using it to keep your coffee hot for as long as possible. Update 7-15-18 I am happy to say that they have improved the thermal qualities with this new model. After pouring hot coffee into this new model, the outside remains cool. On the old model the outside would be warm after filling putting hot liquid in it. My coffee now stays warm throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this product now. Update 9-5-19 After using this new improve version for a little over a year, it stopped keeping the hot coffee warm. When I fill it with hot coffee at about 7 am, by about 10:30 am the coffee is only luke warm. Also I always fill it with hot water first while the coffee is being brewed so that the inside of the airpot is already warm. The only thing I can think of for it to lose it thermal qualities, is that somehow the inside seal got broken. Anyways, I liked the way it worked up until now, so I decided to buy a new one in hopes that it will work the way this one did for the first year. Just a little disappointed that it didn't last longer. Update 6-1-20 The carafe I bought on 9-5-19 would keep the coffee hot all day until about 5 pm, but even then it would still be warm. On 5-11-20 it stopped keeping the coffee hot. By about 2 pm, it is already cold. This is the 3rd one that I have bought and they all have the same problem. They work great at keeping the coffee hot all day for several months and then all of a sudden the coffee is only luke warm by noon. What happens to these coffee pots that cause them to lose their thermal qualities? I emailed my concerns to the vendor and they immediately responded that they thought I had a lemon and sent me a replacement. The replacement works great, but I wonder for how long. The two previous ones on bought kept their thermal qualities for between 9 - 15 months and then lost it. I am very impressed with the customer service for this product and would recommend it. I just can't understand how it can lose its ability to keep liquids hot after being used for a period of time. Should you have a similar problem, don't hesitate to reach out to their customer service. They were super with me.

Update 9-5-17: FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE "THERMOS" BOTTLES OF ANOTHER ERA ... I have been reading several reviews that say the airpot does not keep hot things hot. Unless you have a defective pot or did not close it properly, IT ONLY REQUIRES ONE THING TO KEEP STEAMING HOT CONTENTS steaming hot for 12+ hours. PREHEAT the metal mass of this LARGE METAL HEAT SINK with hot water before filling with coffee, soup, etc.! A room temperature airpot when filled will pull heat from the contents until it reaches an equilibrium temperature" that will slowly cool down as the outside metal surface releases heat to the surrounding air. The COLDER the ambient temperature, the faster the contents will cool down. In cold temp environments, it might pay to cover (insulate) with a towel or blanket. Two weeks ago: Just bought this Thermal Coffee Airpot to be able to provide HOT coffee to a small group without having to transport a coffee maker to each weekly gathering... this holds about 12 8-oz foam coffee cup servings which should be enough along with other beverage offerings and water. So the BIG QUESTION IS... will this keep coffee hot for 24 hours as it states in the literature. Only one way to find out... filled the airpot (preheated with hot tap water) 2/3 full of boiling hot water and sealed it up. TWELVE hours later, pumped out a cup & observed STEAM still coming off the poured cup! Twenty-four hours later, pumped out a cup & observed no steam... but stuck my finger in the cup, and it was still HOT enough to be drinkable coffee & not be called "lukewarm!" Maybe lukewarm will be at 36 hours (the maximum time claimed for keeping COLD beverages COLD)... I will check out of curiosity but no matter. I now know that I can make coffee the night before, leave the mess at home, and take 12 cups of steaming good coffee to the meetings the next morning. I also like the look and convenience of this stainless steel airpot, The top releases at the hinge and is removable for easier cleaning, The pump tube is stainless steel. The carry-handle, lid, & certain parts of the pump tube assembly are some type of hard plastic... while the seals appear to be silicone rubber. The lid & pump assembly has a marked ON-OFF position to prevent accidental coffee delivery during transport. Overall I am well pleased with this product and am considering getting a second one for the Decaf crowd. Update: At 36 hours the "HOT" water when pumped into a cup was still hot enough that a black coffee drinker might have been happy to have it. Cream (real cream, not the powdered veggie-fat) & sugar users, perhaps not so happy. The capability of this airpot carafe to keep liquids hot is exceptionally good! I ordered and received a second Vondior airpot after completing this test... the first week of use of my first purchase the comments were positive for the "hot coffee" that no one knew was made 10-12 hours earlier. The negative comments were universally "Can we also get one for Decaf?" This past week... all happy campers with both Regular & Decaf. Just confusion about which was which since only Decaf had a label. That problem will be solved by the next meeting with SS hanging tags "Coffee" & "Decaf" designating airpot contents.

Works very well at keeping liquids hot and easily servable for large guests. They are a bit of a burden to clean, as the lid is not detachable.

Keeps liquid hot for hours long. Tea made of milk stayed fresh the next day. Overall good.

If would give this a negative star if I can. I purchased this last year and it worked fine for a few months and then started losing its worth. It doesn’t keep the hot liquids hot any longer for more than an hour. It is useless for me. I still have my old airpot Thermos brand that Inhave used for more than 15 years and it works like a charm and keeps hot for several hours. I am very very disappointed in this item and I wish I could get my money back. Please do NOT purchase!!

Absolutely fantastic! I used this daily during the winter to keep hot water available for my delivery drivers. From 5am until 10pm the water stayed hot. It’s easy to clean, nothing leaks out and I love the swivel- it’s so nice for drivers to turn it away to prepare their cocoa and cider! There’s no metallic taste and it looks really nice. I’m writing this review in April when I made the purchase back in September. We still use it now but for cold drinks during the warmer months. The ice stays frozen all day too!

I absolutely love it

It’s good for parties and gatherings

Mejor de lo que esperaba. Buen producto, buenos materiales y muy funcional. Permanece caliente los líquidos hasta 2 días. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

It is bigger than I anticipated, holds 2 12 cup pots of coffee. It stays hot a VERY long time about 15 hours and it was still too hot to touch with bare hand. LOVE IT!

Me gusto que es muy practico, tienes agua caliente todo el día, lo único que no me gustó es que que tiene un orificio muy pequeño para lavarlo pues no cabe la mano

Leaks when you pour water into the flask and it doesn't keep the water hot for that long. Wouldn't recommend.
