Thermos Nissan 34 Ounce Stainless Steel Carafe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the carafe you need for any beverage you want to keep hot or cold as long as possible. Thermax insulation is a vacuum space where all the air has been removed from between two layers of stainless steel. It is the most efficient and compact form of insulation you can get in a carafe, and it's unbreakable.

This type carafe beats any of the foam or glass models hands down, but it's more expensive, too. I had a glass model for years and years, and this one holds more liquid in a smaller sized pitcher and it keeps it hot for much longer. As an example, I've gone back to the carafe after about seven hours and poured the last cup of coffee that was just as flavorful and almost as hot as it was when it went in the carafe.

Now here are some things to think about. First, the within described product (the Nissan TGS1000) is a 1 liter or 34 ounce size. It will NOT hold 10 to 12 cups of coffee; the standard measure for a coffee cup is 6 ounces so this model will hold just over 5 cups. The carafe you want for maximum capacity is the Nissan Thermos TGS1500 that is 1.5 liters or 51 ounces; it will hold just under 12 cups.

Second, while the product is described as dishwasher-safe, you don't want to put it in the dishwasher. The exterior has a clear coating that will dull and chip off in the dishwasher. The best way to maintain it is to scrub the interior with a bottle brush, and, if you use detergent, rinse very thoroughly.

Third, the screw-on stopper is quirky. It seals very well to help keep in heat since heat rises even in an insulated carafe. However, it uses a push lever to dispense the liquid and then the stopper does not drain well for dispensing or cleaning. The best way to clean it is to rinse and then shake out all the water so it dries between uses.

The bottom line...this product does an admirable job of keeping beverages very hot or very cold for long periods of time and it looks nice. It's just not very easy to clean.

Zojirushi Premium Thermal Carafe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried a half dozen different brands over the years and this brand is excellent.I was in a coffee shop in Asheville NC and got a cup of coffee from a larger version of this product.I remarked to the server that the coffee was certainly hot and that he must have just made a fresh pot.He said the coffee was about 4 hours old and said his wife (the owner of the shop) had tested about a half dozen different brands of carafes prior to deciding on Zojirushi.He said she found it the best on the market.He indicated that they frequently take excess coffee from the day home and have it straight from the carafe the next morning and find it hot.
I got the product name and went to Amazon to read the reviews on this product prior to purchasing and was therefore aware of the problems identified by the reviewers here.I have now owned the carafe for about a year and use it most days.I usually run hot water into the carafe and let it heat up the container prior to pouring coffee and sealing it.I have kept coffee very hot for over 24 hours.Of course, the secret is to always close the carafe (check the slot to insure it is closed) back immediately after pouring a cup.I also wash the top in a dishwasher after use.This allows water to enter the top (as noted by one reviewer).I turn the top so that the horizontal hole in the side is at the bottom and the water pours out.I shake it a few times and it is good to go.
I find the product more than adequate to prevent coffee from tasting stale.I frequently make 10-12 cups of coffee at a time and pour a few cups then put the remainder into a carafe and seal it until further use.I find the coffee hours later as good as a freshly made cup of coffee.I usually drink the carafe of coffee within 4-6 hours.
After using several other similar products I find this product superior to those products therefore warranting a 5-star rating.
The one disadvantage was the higher price but after a year of use from a value consideration, it is worthwhile.
