Best carafe made August 14, 2009

This carafe blows all the others away. As your Mom probably told you "You get what you pay for".
You will not regret buying this quality item. There is no comparison with other carafes. Think of
this as a mercedes and all others are volkswagens.

Looks Great...works just as good as most though... August 14, 2008

I thought I'd purchase this carafe based on the reviews in hopes that it would keep coffee warmer for a longer period of time but...it doesn't. I sort of was thinking German made like a Mercedes but this isn't going to make the "million mile club." It is adorable though. I've filled it with hot tap water and also boiling water and let it sit for 5 minutes before emptying the water and adding the coffee. It keeps the coffee hot for about an hour and then warm for a couple hours but certainly not all day or even more than a couple hours like some reviews said. Not much better than reliable Thermos brand. Again though, if you are into the "looks of stuff," then this is great to look at but in my opinion not worth $70!

I saw this model of Alfi carafe all over Germany when I was over there in the Army, 1984-87--in upscale hotels, resturants, and well-furnished homes--this Alfi Juwel 1-liter model. Got one myself and paid $75.00 U.S. then. It functioned perfectly for many years, but it got left behind in a divorce. Had to have another one--it works flawlessly too. It costs more than others, but it's worth it--(I've tried some.)
NOTES ON ALL CARAFES: (1) The purpose of a carafe is to retain coffee FLAVOR as well as temperature. Without the airtight seal provided by a carafe, the oils and chemicals of FRESH coffee are steamed/evaporated away into open air quite rapidly if heated on just a warmer/hotplate. A good carafe will preserve FULL flavor. (2) For any carafe to function, it must be preheated with hot water for 2-5 minutes, and then the hot water dumped, just before the coffee/other hot beverage is put into the carafe.
If properly preheated and filled with an early-morning pot of coffee, this Alfi carafe will provide really full-flavored coffee that is still quite hot well into late afternoon. It functions wonderfully, and it's pretty too.

I bought my first Alfi carafe 15 years ago after a trip to Europe. All of the hootels we stayed in used them to pour coffee. I liked the way it looked and the waiters assured me it would keep hot liquids hot all day. Well, it does provided that you prefill it with hot water (and then obviosuly dump the water before filling with your beverage). The thing will keep stuff steaming for 7 or 8 hours. If you can afford the freight - it is well worth it.
