Thermos 710 Coffee Thermal Carafe

 (8 customer reviews)

I wanted to replace my old stained Thermos carafe but couldn't find a 40oz version like my old one and settled on this 32oz version. Would have preferred a 40oz version...This 32oz version does the job OK except that the small twist-on top is dificult to screw on, does not flow as fast as my old 40oz carafe with the big twist top. However, I like the "trigger" valve on this version. Another drawback is the lip of the pot drips after you pour and the drip flows all the way down the front of the pot to the countertop. My old one did not do that...But hey, what do want for $10-$12 bucks?

We purchased four of these dogs to replace the stained ones of years ago. After several tries (even with pre-heated water) we found the coffee to be (at best tepid after just an hour). Needless to say, we have reverted to the old tried and true carafes even though they are stained. The literature claims a twelve hour temperature retention for hot liquids but that claim is is a stretch beyond credulity. Our old thermos was made in Germany; these are made in China. Like so many of today's products, they they pale by comparison to yesteryears. Don't buy it unless you use it immediately for table convenience.

The Thermos Coffee Carafe is great for when you are entertaining and want your coffee to stay warm. This way you don't have to keep running back to the kitchen, so you can spend some more time with your guests. Easy clean up. Just preheat or cool before using.
