Cresimo Coffee Carafe with Pump - 102oz / 3L Airpot 12 Hours Large Hot Water Carafe, Cocoa Dispenser for Parties - Tea Flask, Insulated Stainless Steel Airpots for Hot Beverage Dispenser -Coffee Pump

Worked perfectly for my Friday meeting, I can decant the first pot and immediately start another Our coffee is hot and fresh for the duration, no more getting up to brew the next, lever action for dispensing is easy for seniors to operate!

What I expected. Keep hot liquid hot. Brush the clean the inside is helpful. The base has something so without lifting it can be turned..rotated a little which is nice. Tested it out with hot cocoa and easy enough to clean up after.

Nice carafe. Kept a large amount of coffee warm throughout my open house, and I didn’t have to keep brewing coffee throughout the event.

I have only tried this with hot beverages, but that is the one that is supposed to only stay hot for 12 hours. And in my experience, it does just that. Now, I didn't have a thermometer, so I just knew it was hot, not exactly how hot. I made coffee for Christmas brunch and it was hot for the entire meal and long after I got back home. And I had an hour drive there and back. But the coffee was steaming when it came out. And I continued to check and see if it was still hot for several hours. I stopped checking after about 10 hours from when I made the coffee. It was still steaming in the room temperature mug even after 10 hours. And the next morning, it was no longer hot, but it was a little warmer than room temp, 22 hours after making the coffee. So I'm impressed. It loses a star for the fact that there is no way to lock it so it can't open the top during transport. And also because the top does not come off at all, making cleaning more difficult. And when filling, you have only the small opening to pour into.

Bought this for tailgating and hot drinks.l in the cold weather. Held hot temp very well for at lease 12 hours. Work well for we needed.

For reference, I have owned and run a small town coffee shop in SWFL since 2007-I buy products and equipment to use as advertised-in a professional capacity-not as a novelty item to 1-up my neighbors at the next HOA meeting I happen to host. I gave these a try after being fed up with paying $50-$70 dollars for BUNN airpots...I had used BUNN or Fetco for years-and they had always been reliable, durable, and overall worth the cost...but then the last two-three times I had ordered some to have as extras/back-ups/spares-at least one arrived damaged straight out of the box. The thing was-because they were not immediately needed-they were not opened immediately, and tested (something I now try to make sure I do with any kind of thermos I buy). They were stored high on a shelf in the stock room-until needed-only to find out then-when needed- that it was not working-and you guessed it-I was outside the return window. That was it-out $50-$70 for something that couldn't fulfill it's one function-So I spent hours going through reviews of various airpot types, styles, sizes, etc...nothing seemed to be comparable to what I was used to getting from fetco or bunn...and then I found these from Cresimo. This was the first air-pot that I had run across that the specs matched the needs and the reviews-while mixed as they almost always are-gave me enough confidence to try them. I was a little hesitant when it arrived-noticeably more lightweight straight out of the box-and while the top was more light weight and was noticeably more cheaply made (after all these cost 1/2 the price of the ones I was replacing for rampant defects)-the internal components seemed solid; from the stainless steel, to the plastic nozzle on the siphon, the rubber seats and seals-everything seemed great. When I tested the new pot I got even more excited-I put water into it that was at the same temp as I would be putting coffee-should this thing pass the test-and not one, but two days later-the thing was still hot enough to be producing steam when I lifted the lever and pumped some of the water into a cup. - We have a winner! My search has paid off. - I ordered 3 more. One of them had to be replaced straight out of the box...not happy about it-but it happens. Return and replacement was easy and quick-I can work with that. Fast forward to barely more than half a year later-I have had to return or trash several of these-either I ordered more back-ups and couldn't test them immediately (they got stored and testing fell to the back burner) only to find out later on more than one occasion that my 'back-up(s)' was/were defective...with out any cause that I was aware of-one would turn hot to the touch when filled-so the pot is radiating heat/not holding heat...not good for coffee service. Finally had a brief spell where I wasn't replacing one for not holding its temperature only to have the little plastic arm that works as a piston on the air-bladder inside the pump head snap-on two different lids, at two different times-within two weeks of each other-and in the middle of morning rushes no less...the last one was last week, and within that week another one of those that had seemed to be holding it's all (temperature wise)-is now not holding its temperature. If they were expected to be 1-3 use items, I would expect this-but I would also expect to pay no more than $5-10 for them...at $35 a piece-if these ARE in fact supposed/expected to be used in a commercial setting at all-they should be able to last a good year or two with the occasional bump against the counter when being carried the 20 ft from the kitchen to the coffee maker-which in my case is about as far as they go/travel. I have designated pots for my storefront, and others that get used for catering jobs...and the ones traveling approximately 40 ft are as frequently if not more frequently than the ones that get loaded, jostled, and carted around on catering gigs. I have not had one complete flask/siphon/lever-handled lid survive more than three months-with most surviving far less time than that. The first time I ordered one of these was July of 2021-it is now 2nd week of February-2022...and I use 4 airpots each day, then 6 -and now 7-days a week in my small business-and occasionally an extra one or two when I pick up a catering gig. So I normally have between 5 and 7 of these on hand-and feel like I have been retiring one to the trash heap or returning one every time I turn around. As I said at the beginning of this long-winded tirade/epistle-were this something I used only on occasion-it might very well be a great product. But in a busy cafe/food business such as mine-it simply hasn't been able to hold up.

I bought this product in January of 2021. Very recently, I've noticed it stopped keeping coffee hot beyond an hour or two. My thinking is there's some sort of vacuum seal that broke down over time. I cleaned mine out every couple of months using OxyClean Free (to remove the scale from inside the carafe) - which worked very well to clean the inside - but perhaps also led to the vacuum seal breaking down. Who knows... I use this literally every day, and it was cheap, and it worked very well until just recently. I paid $27 for it almost 4 years ago. That's < $10/year to keep coffee hot (for several hours) every day. My guess is that these carafes all eventually fail because the vacuum sealing doesn't last forever. From a cost/benefit perspective, it seems like a good value to me, though - so I'm giving it 5 stars. (I've seen the same results yield a two star review from other reviewers, but honestly, what do you expect from a cheap, probably made-in-China product? If you want something that lasts forever, good luck finding it at this price point - or any, for that matter). I'm ordering a new one today.

Nice Carafe and it keeps hot beverages nice and hot. This is a very reasonable price for a quality product. I highly recommend this product.

Very great looking, and it is definitely worth the price I spent. It keeps drinks cold and hot enough according to my experience. To be specific, it keeps hot water for around 6-8 hours and cold drinks for about 10 hours, which I think it's extremely good compared to what I previously purchased. Recommended👍

Muy práctico y mantiene caliente tu bebida ! Buen precio !

Très bon rapport qualité prix ! Je l'utilise pour du thé, reste chaud durant environ 5h sans problème ... Bon volume ! Me permet d'avoir du thé chaud toute la demie journée sans avoir besoin d'en refaire toutes les 20 mn ... Comme d'habitude reçu très vite et bien emballé. Je recommande vivement et sans problème !

I tested this last night and put 2/ 3rds boiling water in and a third cold water to emulate milk. Did it at 7PM and checked it at 4PM the next day and still hot. Not as hot but enough. I am super impressed. I only bought it because I need one for work due to health and safety. I wanted something I could make white coffee in ready to just pour out without the hassle of bringing in milk. Super impressed. Easy to use, leave arm pump efficient and easy to clean. Great product and great service. It arrived the next day. Definitely would reccomend it.

Honnêtement, c'est mon meilleur achat de l'année. Comme je passe ma journée à boire de l'eau chaude et du thé, ce thermos est vraiment pratique et facile d'utilisation. Il maintient bien la chaleur pour presque une journée entière. Si vous aimez boire de l'eau chaude, allez y les yeux fermés.
