Isosteel Tableline VA-9330K 1.0 L Vacuum-Insulated Can with Lid and Single-Hand Pouring-Button, Dishwasher-Safe, 18/8 Brushed Stainless Steel

I just recieved this carafe last week and have already used it several times. Like all thermal carafes, the best result is obtained by warming it with hot water first, then it will keep hot for many hours. (Just last night I left a little herbal tea in it when I went to bed and this morning it was still warm.) The outside and bottom of the carafe meanwhile stay quite cool, you can set it on any table without a trivet or placemat needed to protect the wood. I think it looks sleek and attractive on the table and compliments almost any style. One reviewer noted the top and handle were plastic not metal and felt that took away from the high-end appearance; personally, I don't think it looks obviously plastic, and additionally the top and handle are the only parts that get warm when hot liquid is inside it, I imagine if they were metal the handle might be too hot to comfortably hold so I feel it's a fair trade-off. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others.

This carafe is very attractive, but I think it is best suited for entertaining, where you only need to keep the coffee warm for 2 to 3 hours. The thing that was not clear to me when I bought it, and the reason I am sending it back, is that the lid does not have any kind of latch to seal it. It will keep the coffee hot for about 3 to 4 hours, but I doubt it is much good past that.

With the lid open, one of those plastic coffee filter holders (for brewing a large cup at a time) fits nicely on it, making a better option than the coffee makers typically found in a hotel room, but for home use, it's not very well insulated, and the opening is small, so it's easy to pour coffee on an inner rim, which sloshes it onto the counter.

This is really nice looking carafe and just the size I was looking for. I like that the lid does NOT flop around when I open it to poor. It opens just enough to pour. You can of course open it wide for cleaning. I took off 1 star because the Amazon title says it is dishwasher safe but the paperwork included says "Do not put in dishwasher for cleaning!" I knew that going in based on other reviews and I'm fine with hand washing it. Still, they shouldn't lie in the title.

The lid doesn’t fit I have to press it down to sort of close it then it’s hard to open. Coffee doesn’t say hot

I like that the coffee does not run through any hidden channels, just straight out the pot. What did surprise me is that the lid does not open fully wide with the thumb lever, but rather you have to manually lift the lid or turn over the pot for the lid to flop open. Surprise! But it's a lovely design, cool to touch, and stainless. Keeps my coffee hot through my morning coffee-drinking session... though I do fill it with hot water for a bit before I pour up my coffee.

Even though the description clearly says that these are dishwasher safe, the pamphlet says NOT dishwasher safe. They seem nice enough, but dishwasher safe was our main concern.

This carafe is also a tremendously amazingly well insulated personal carafe! II bought and kept this one as well as the larger international products 2 L carafe.This smaller capacity carafe also is amazingly well insulated - keeping water fresh and ice in the water for two days!! I love it !!I happened to prefer a larger capacity so I'll use this one for my guests at their bedside table - I am an icewater lover - so I haven't used it for hot beverages -but how could it work any less wonderfully for hot beverages? the insulation is beyond what I ever could've believed!I highly recommend this as a personal use, for guests at their bedside, for travel- it's looks good !it insulates beautifully it's easy to clean it's a quite perfect product worth every penny- I would even recommend it for travel, since empty it is lightweight, and if you have the luggage space; and obviously this Insulated carafe would also be a great gift!!
