HASTINGS COLLECTIVEThermal Coffee Carafe 50 Oz - Large Stainless Steel Insulated Carafe - 1.5 Liter Double Walled Vacuum Thermos Coffee and Beverage Dispenser with Tea Infuser and Strainer (Black)

My husband and I got this thermos so we could both brew 2 pots of coffee and store one in something else. It keeps the coffee warm for quite a while. It's not too heavy, and we haven't had any problems yet with leaking. It pours as expected and holds almost a full 12 cup coffee pot sans maybe one or two cups.

I purchased this carafe a few weeks ago and have been using it daily since and it has delivered on all of my expectations for a good product.The Lagom has a quality build and feels that way too. I was a little skeptical of the wooden handle being attached to the molded top but after using it I am very happy with its construction. I prefer stainless bodies over the glass inserts as I've had too many breaks over the years or separate at the neck and cause a mess. The little quality detail I love the most is the button. It doesn't feel cheap and is very satisfying to use.The seals work great and you don't need to twist excessively to seat them properly. If you are a tea drinker, like me, you will enjoy having the different straining options. I couldn't get the flow to stay consistent with the "drink now" method using the stainless strainer as the leaves just clog it up, but the "later" method works great and helps with keeping the carafe clean.It is not the cheapest carafe you can buy but definitely worth it. You get a very well-made product with a unique aesthetic and great functionality for an affordable price. Cheaper carafes tend not to last and just look generic overall. If any of my other carafes need replacement over the years I will definitely be looking at the offerings from this brand to replace them.

The good:- I made a pot of coffee yesterday at 8 AM. It was still hot at 1PM. Still warm at 5PM- Variety of filters provided for tea and coffee- Stylish- BigThe not-so-good (but not bad)- functionally, the instructions don't really work. Water won't filter through the coffee fast enough to let you "pour in the water and then steep 3-5 minutes" unless you're using a coarse grind--it took 3-5 minutes just to pour in the water. However, this is a minor gripe. Trial and error and common sense will get you nice cup of coffee.- The instructions were missing details on the appropriate grind and volume of coffee to add. I used a medium grind and it tasted great. I'm confident a coarser grind could be used with some modification of the brewing times and it'd also work fine.- needs a bottle brush or very small hands to clean.Altogether, a solid coffee pot; I highly recommend. I'm most impressed by how long the coffee stayed warm. Like I said, 9 hours after brewing, it was still warm (I'd guess about 110 degrees). Perfect for having hot coffee through the morning and into lunchtime.

A great thermal pot and easy to use for pour over brewing. My husband is now happy with his morning pot of coffee. We use our own pour over rig instead of what was provided, just out of habit.

I purchased this carafe a few months ago now, and after buying maybe 5 less expensive carafes, I would suggest just spending the money on this one. First, it works really well, and second, I just love the look!Pros:-Keeps my tea hot-Flavor is perfect-The push button to pour is more effective than other methods I've used-Pours perfectly-Easy to clean-Comes with a tea strainer-Also has a filter to prevent leaves/coffee from pouring-Very nice packaging-Helpful product information enclosedCons:-None that I've experienced

I usually do a single pour over of coffee for myself and no longer have an electric coffee pot. I bought this thinking I could use it as a way to brew coffee for multiple people on Christmas. The problem is the filter for coffee. It takes too long to pour the water through if you have many tablespoons of coffee in the filter. Also, lifting the filter out is impossible for me. I ended up fishing the filter out with a knife and dumped all the damp grounds into my coffee funnel. I then poured the rest of the water as a regular pour over. The carafe did keep the coffee warm for awhile ( I preheated it with boiling water) and the stylish pot was complimented on the holiday. I will keep it as a carafe but will just use my funnel on top to make the coffee in future. I think this carafe may work better as a way to make tea with loose tea or tea bags, But I haven't tried it. It's still a handsome carafe though!
