This carafe is just what we needed to keep boiling water at a good temperature for herbal (or black) tea for 9/10 hours. It can make black tea with a dash of milk and be at a temperature for immediate drinking (depending on how many hours the boiling water has been in the carafe) or how hot 🔥 you like your tea! The heat retention & efficiency of the carafe is definitely enhanced by pre- heating with hot as possible tap water for about 5 minutes before filling with boiling water from a kettle. We decided we would store boiling water from our kettle in a flask so the heat is retained and easy and quick to use which also saves electricity. A domestic electric kettle repeatedly boiled takes a lot of electricity and it is very wasteful to boil water & then just leave it in the kettle to go cold! Keeping the water hot in a flask or carafe makes sense as convenient and quick to use during the day for herbal or black tea or coffee (if you use instant coffee. ...for example "Lavazza Prontissimo" or "Millicano" or any of the combined fine ground & instant for speed it would be fine) We prefer to use a gas top coffee pot for our "1 a day" coffee made in a percolater "Bialetti " or similar. We have, however, used a large (1.8 Litre) basic glass lined flask to store our boiled water from the gas hob kettle in this way for years but decided to try a carafe as easier to pour for tea and looks much nicer anywhere in the house. Happy to say this carafe is perfect. We filled it last night at 10pm and made 2 cups of black tea with a dash of milk (straight into the cups) at 7am this morning. Excellent. If you like scalding hot tea ☕ you could pour the hot water from the carafe back into your kettle and it would take less time (& electric or gas) to boil! No brainer as they say..Best of both worlds! We decided to get a 2 litre kettle and use it on our gas hob 2 years ago to save on electricity and it's great and there is no ignoring that whistle!! Phew quite a long story! In summary... the carafe is great if used according to the advice about pre-warming and easier to pour and stylish to look at too😊😊

Great!

Doesn't really keep things super hot. Boiling water will still be good for tea after a couple of hours but any longer than that and the temperature quickly fall away. Probably better for cold liquids but not tried that yet.

Excellent product. Kept water hot as advertised! It was so good I bought a second one for catering.

GOOD POINTS - NICELY MADE AND ROBUST TO HELP AGAINST ACCIDENTAL MISHANDLING.BAD POINTS - SADLY HOT DRINKS OR PLAIN BOILED WATER ONLY STAY HOT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. VERY BAD AND NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THE OLD FASHIONED THERMOS FLASKS WHICH SADLY WERE EASILY PRONE TO GETTING BROKEN.OBVIOUS CHECK WAS OF THE SEAL IN THE LID - NO DAMAGE SO WHY THE HEAT LOSS IS BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING.I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ITEM IF YOU NEED TO KEEP CONTENTS HOT FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

I've had mine 5 years and use almost daily - I also have another thermal jug. It still looks good and still keeps my coffee hot for a long time. Certainly hotter than the carafe on my coffee machine does. After 5 years, I'm still very happy with it. Would certainly recommned.
