Zojirushi Supreme 3-Liter Airpot, Brushed Stainless Steel Review

Zojirushi Supreme 3-Liter Airpot, Brushed Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this air pot for 4 reasons, but don't like it for 5 also..
Like it for:
1.) Capacity 3.0 Liters
2.) nice 360 degrees swivel action, for people in the front, people in the back, people on the sides - can just swivel and fill.
3.) large Base makes it less prone to tip over.
4.) Glass interior - Makes me more comfortable that there are no plastic toxins or general metal that could be adding other toxins to my drink.
Don't like it for:
1.) Short - Makes it hard to maneuver larger cups, especially, when you have a drip catcher under the nozzle, to catch falling drips. (not included in package, its just something we put under ours, so that the coffee doesn't drip onto the table after someone filling their cups)
2.) The push button design - To get the coffee, you need to push down on the top center button, which depresses lower, place the wrist/hand at inconvenient positions (A raised lever is much easier to use - especially, if you have the other hand holding something else, you can just use your karate chop action, while your other hand is holding the cup that is getting filled - making sure it doesn't spill all over.)
3.) The lock - It's too easy switch it in the lock/unlock positions and also hard to find, if someone is unfamiliar with it. (which is, on the push dispenser button, it just turns from 12 o'clock to 11 o'clock (5 degrees) and its locked and unlocked.)
4.) Cleaning - Is a B____.. The hole is only about, maybe 2 inches in diameter.. I can't fit anything down there to scrub around if necessary. So as far as cleaning.. I've just been using mine for coffee, and completely filling it with scorching water - when not in use. And swishing soap in there, every other time after use. I think about, maybe using some vinegar/water mixture may help too..
5.)General design - For some reason, when this Air Pot is sat next to other air pots, this one is neglected, and chosen over, by the taller/push down lever models.
I could probably talk more about this pot, and if you read this entire review, I'm impressed. Sorry - if I bored anyone else to sleep. But to conclude, I wouldn't buy this model again. This model, was actually kinda pricey as well - I would sacrifice the capacity, and buy 2 other ones, with the levers.

Zojirushi Premium Thermal Carafe Review

Zojirushi Premium Thermal Carafe
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.

For use at home, at work, at the barbecue or beach, this convenient thermal carafe keeps beverages warm and easy to serve.

The contemporary, brushed stainless exterior is attractive and easy to clean and sits on a swivel base so it's easy to grab from any angle. Holds 1 liter (34 ounces).
