Zojirushi SH-HC10AD Stainless Steel Vacuum Carafe, 1-Liter, Matte Navy

This little 1L carafe checked all the boxes for me. It perfectly holds 6 cups (coffee pot sized cups - about 6 oz.) which is plenty for me. It keeps the coffee reasonably hot for a few hours. I really like the way the lid snaps on and the square spout pours easily and doesn't drip. One of the best things is the size of the mouth of the carafe. I have small hands and can get my hand with a dishcloth inside to clean it. Overall, very user friendly.

used only with black coffee, pre-filled with extremely hot but not boiling water, not too hard to pour and keeps hot for 1-2 hours in a chilly room, wide mouth easy to clean inside, attractive dark blue color, and weighted for stability. update: pre-filled with boiling water, kept coffee hot in cool room for almost 3 hours, long enough for my caffeine quota!

Keeps my coffee hot so I'm happy. The smaller size is perfect for me. Most of the other thermoses were too large for just one person.

This is a great thermal carafe, and it works. (It gets used a lot in my house!)

I use it to brew tea and stays hot all day.

Doesn’t deserve 5 stars, because it cannot keep contents hot for even a few hours.I say max hot time is 3 hours.Only giving 5-stars because it is very practical and cute design.

I purchased this based on the testing/recommendation of America's Test Kitchen (my go-to for product testing) and it did not disappoint! I bought this specifically for a holiday brunch so that I could keep a hot pot of coffee for my guests without having to leave it on the coffee maker hot plate and have it turn bitter. It worked great and I love the look of it. It's not hard to find inexpensive carafes but they just don't perform as well. This will keep things hot (or cold) for hours. Use it for coffee, broth, cocoa - or cold applications like milk or cream. Great product!

I needed a carafe. I still do. Thought this one looked good. It came well boxed and looked like very good quality. But it doesn't keep hot. I always prime pots with hot water. It either isn't vacuum sealed or it's defective. The lid stays room temperature cold, but the sides of the pot get warm. There is no insulation value at all. The lid is very overengineered, but once I went over all the very well written instructions it was easy to disassemble and clean. If it kept liquid hot, it would be a nice pot.
