We had this $40 stainless steel coffee carafe that was okay. It kept coffee warm for a couple of hours. After that, we had to jolt the coffee in the microwave [in a cup of course]. But the lever on the lid broke recently so I decided to research our next carafe. Did I say that I like coffee... a lot?
We settled on an Alfi carafe made in Germany [that last unit was made in China]. Our oldest son was looking for Father's Day, birthday, anniversary gifts for us, so we said get that carafe. We got it late yesterday and tried it today. I never realized that a carafe could work so well. Six hours after I poured the coffee in the carafe it was steaming hot. After eight hours, with only one cup remaining in the carafe, the coffee was still pleasantly hot... although maybe not steaming hot. The quality of the carafe is obviously far superior to the old one.
For a coffee addict like me, there couldn't have been a better gift.
