FellowStagg Double Wall Coffee Carafe - Vessel for Pour Over Manual Coffee Maker, Handblown Borosilicate Glass Decanter, 20 oz Clear Pitcher

Double wall. Not too fragile, holds a good amount (700 grams +?) keeps it hot. A daily user for me with a Hario Switch V60m. Beats what came with the Hario.

We love this carafe. It tipped over when it was upside on a drying mat and broke, but we love it so much we are buying another one and have learned our lesson. No issue with outside being hot. Coffee should be brewed with water no hotter than 200 degrees F, so if you do that and don't brew past the 20 oz. mark on the carafe there should be no problem.

I read reviews saying it's too flimsy, thin, and weak. Not sure why anyone says this as it's plenty thick, durable and heavy enough. Not sure how thick people expect a carafe to be. I also read people saying complaining about it breaking from them tipping it over. What do you expect it's a glass carafe of course it can break if you knock it over! I like the style and size of this and the V60 02 sits perfect on top. Great carafe!

NOT MICROWAVE safe. It doesn't say so on this web-page but does on the instruction sheet (near a tiny little icon), and it really is so, putting it in the microwave for 3 minutes with a cup or so of water to preheat it before brewing causes the entire thing, including the outer wall, to become too hot to touch. No other glass item I have ever put into a microwave has ever become hot like that. It's like some ceramics or even Bakelite in this respect. And, as others have noted, the diameter is so large that it is hard to hold in the first place and almost impossible with a pot holder, and I have large hands.Pretty but useless. It might be nice as a vase.

Overall, this carafe is great. You can use it as pour over but it also works with an Aeropress. It retains heat pretty well and the double wall does the job pretty well. Only negatives are that, it's a bit pricey and I personally find it easy to slip.

Combining form and function, this carafe definitely does its job. An underrated feature is the small dots on the side that roughly indicate how many oz have been filled.One odd quirk is that it feels too small for 3 people, but too big for 2 people. ie, if I want 3 cups of tea or coffee, filling this to the brim would yield a scant cup for most mugs, making it feel like guests are getting half-cups, though I guess a solution could be smaller cups. (The carafe is like 20oz, so three 8-10oz cups definitely leave a lot to be desired).That said, it's great for brewing or steeping, because it definitely does keep the liquid warmer for longer. Clean-up is easy enough: the top opening doesn't taper too dramatically and you can still get a hand + sponge in there. It might be too tall to fit in the top rack of most dishwashers...although I don't know if this is something that you would want to be dishwashing anyway. In the long term, there's been some scaling and hard water build-up. But it's just glass, so your usual solutions to that problem should suffice.Another worry is durability. For comparison, I was gifted a set of Bodum's double walled glasses and one of those has already broken while this has held up. However, I'm definitely afraid of using the Fellow carafe as a pitcher of iced drinks, as I'm afraid the simple act of ice falling from the fridge dispenser could crack the inner glass wall and render this whole carafe ruined.Another small quirk is that if it's filled to the brim with hot liquid, it's not as ergonomic to pour, sometimes requiring an oven mitt because it retains heat so well. That said, I would overall recommend it! It has a wider use case than, say, a Hario/Kalita server for coffee as it can hold a good amount of liquid, and it's much easier to clean than a Chemex while not sacrificing much in regards to aesthetics.

* beautiful* dishwasher safe* properly sized for two 10oz cups of coffee* you can see what you're doingThis solves my brew-two-drink-one problem and is visually nicer than brewing into a thermal carafe. It does not retain heat like a proper carafe, but I only need it to keep one held-back cup warm long enough for me to drink the first one. If I need more delay or more than two cups, out comes the stainless carafe.This is so much prettier for my everyday way of brewing (Kalita Wave 185). And being able to compare coffee level to markings means I can skip brewing on my coffee scale (i knooow, all the coffee geeks just shuddered).

Man, I wanted so much to like this coffee carafe and pour over brewer. In fact, I *loved* it. If we're going by the Marie Kando philosophy of "does it spark joy?" this is one of the few things in my house that I can honestly say yes to. I used to look forward to brewing coffee every morning. But... I have now broken two of these in less than 6 months.The first one was in the drying rack and another dish must have pressed against it too hard, because I came down to a 7" crack in it. So of course I chalked that up to user error and took to hand drying it.Well, the the replacement I ordered just shattered into 1 million pieces after it slipped out of my hands over the counter from a height of about 2" while I was drying it. I have dropped other tempered glassware (dual-walled coffee mugs, pitchers, etc.) from a similar or slightly greater height. This is the first tempered glass dish that I've broken in this manner.I am super bummed, as I will not be ordering a replacement. $50 is just WAY too much money for something so brittle. Now I need to find a different vessel to use with the rest of my Stagg XL pour over parts, since those still work just fine (hint: they aren't made of glass).I am truly disappointed to have to write this review.
