The number one selling carafe in Germany proved itself to be the Best carafe tested at the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Out of the 10 carafes evaluated, it received the overall highest marks for cold retention, heat retention, functional construction and ease of use and cleaning. Unlike the others tested, only this carafe has a wider mouth that makes both filling and serving liquid refreshments easier. The wider mouth also allows for a more thorough cleaning. If a carafe's mouth is too narrow, harmful bacteria can build up around the rim and bottom of the interior. The carafe also has a comfortable handle and a simple, thumb press lever that opens the lid for one-handed, dripless pouring. Carafe has a 1 liter capacity. Contents will stay warm/cold for up to 20 hours. Made of ABS plastic with double-wall glass liner. 8 3/4" H x 8" W. (2 lbs.)
