Thermal Carafes: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. Selecting the right thermal carafe isn't as complex as choosing the right computer, the right school, or the right house. It's still a decision that merits a good dose of time and consideration. This is because most models are durable enough to last for many years. You want to thoroughly appreciate the one you buy.
Fact #2. The most basic but important consideration to make is about simple liquid containing capacity. If you need a carafe that can keep an entire pot of coffee warm, then you'll want a capacity of at least sixty ounces. Many have a two-liter capacity, which is more than large enough for big pots of coffee and tea.
Fact #3. Consider the physical shape and size, capacity notwithstanding. Some units are tall and slender and can fit into larger vehicle cupholders. This makes them ideal travel companions for the commuter or for use during a road trip. Other options are wider and more squat. These will resist tipping over even if bumped or jostled in high-traffic areas, like an office break room or a picnic table.
Fact #4. Most thermal carafes keep beverages insulated using variations on a similar design. They use a double-walled structure with a gap left between the exterior and interior. The space between is often vacuum-sealed. This lack of air results in a much slower transfer of heat, and this is true in both directions. Some units also use another insulating material, usually a type of foam, in the space between the walls. This approximates the design of a cooler intended for use in the warm outdoors.
Fact #5. Many units are perfectly safe for dishwasher cleaning. With others, hand washing is advised. If this seems like a laborious prospect, then strike the latter from your from your list. Just keep in mind that some hand-wash options are also some of the most handsome carafes.
