Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this to keep a pot of coffee hot for several hours. I fill the empty carafe with almsot boiling water and let it sit while the coffee brews. I usually wait until my son has one cup of coffee and then I empty the water and pour the still steaming pot of coffee in the carafe. By the time he pours the last cup several hours later, it is still hot, not warm. I actually had some left in it the next morning, and while not hot, it was warm. I highly recommend this carafe. I did not care for the brush that came with it to clean it. It swivels, so it is hard to scrub the inside. But since coffee is the only thing we will put in it, I suppose a little coffee smell will not hurt. I might try to use some soda and clean it with another type of brush so it won't start tasting like old coffee. Well pleased.
