A coffee carafe is a type of decanter. It is a container for coffee, between a thermos and a pitcher. Usually coffee carafes are taller than a pitcher and more cylindrical, with a long handle for control. They are also often insulated to be a thermal coffee carafe and keep beverages hot or cold. These attractive, colorful and functional carafes are best for entertaining or serving.
Carafes are found in various sizes. One can choose depending upon the requirement. These are capable of holding 4 cup, 8 cup, 10 cup or even 12 cups of coffee. There are also dual carafe coffee makers that can make enough coffee for two carafes at the same time. Coffee carafes are made of different materials, such as :
Glass Carafe : Most commonly used with drip coffee makers
Stainless Steel Carafe : Durable and safe, yet expensive.
Thermal Coffee Carafe : Double walled interior insulation keeps the heat freshly brewed coffee produces inside the carafe. |
