 You can't beat this airpot! September 25, 2004

I love this airpot. It keeps coffee hot for hours without the burning often caused by a coffee maker warmer. The design itself is simple: a glass-lined thermos, a removable spigot that extends to the bottom of the carafe, and a detachable top that, when in place, serves as both pump and seal. During transportation or storage, the lever fits into a groove in the top. A small catch keeps the lever up for use. The capacity is enormous; I've only put twelve cups at a time inside, and I always have room for at least another six cups. As this carafe is tall and narrow, storage could be a problem if you have low clearance cupboards.
For best results, fill the carafe with hot water to heat the glass before filling, as preheating extends the number of hours of hot coffee. (I once forgot to empty the carafe; twenty hours later, the coffee was still warm.) The stainless steel exterior wipes clean with a damp cloth. Rinse other parts in warm water, either with or without a mild soap.
I use this airpot often when I have company. It's great for keeping regular coffee hot while brewing a pot of decaf. Because it is easily transported (note the handle on the top), it can be carried outside for a barbecue or picnic. With the coffee kept hot for a minimum of six hours, you have plenty of time between brewing and consumption.
