AlfiGusto 1.0 L Glass Vacuum Lacquered Metal Thermal Dispenser Carafe, Red, One Size (AG1900RD2)

Just received the thermos.Very poor quality, leaking......I dont belive this is a German quality.Not the real metal.All plastic....

Given some of the complaints I hesitated to buy this. I do not understand why there are not more choices anywhere, not just on Amazon, for glass lined coffee thermoses. Metal lined thermoses build up coffee stain and are a pain to clean. The lid to our very old glass-lined thermos broke. Anyway, this thermos works very well. I preheat heat it, usually the night before when I set up my coffee maker, by filling with with boiling water. I took care to pour the water slowly at first given complaints that the glass could shatter. That hasn't happened. The other complaint about the lid hissing or not closing is not an issue. The lid turns two circles and has a definite stop point so there's no guessing about how tight to turn it. The thermos keeps my coffee hot for hours.One year later - still love it as I never have to clean old coffee stains on the inside as the glass liner stays crystal clean. Metal thermoses do not and scrubbing them with steel wool is needed just about eery month.

I bought this very expensive little thing in April 2021. I am not a everyday drinker, but I do like my coffee in the winter. First, I knew I shouldn't have gotten this because it is crazy what they are charging. I went against my original thought and purchased anyway. I liked that the inside was glass. It should hold my coffee hot for awhile. So I tested it. Made coffee late afternoon/early evening and it was still warm enough to drink in the morning. It's wasn't hot, but I was satisfied with the time it was in there and the temp the next morning. Like I said, I don't use it all the time. One thing I didn't like is, how do you really clean the spout? I just put hot water in it and poured it like I was pouring coffee. The last few times I used it I noticed a noise like air bubbles blowing. Kind of like when your using dish soap checking for leaks around tire rims. Also my coffee wasn't as hot as normal the next day. I chalked up the bubbles noise to me just rinsing it. Until the next time it did it again. So this time I didn't push the button to pour I just took it to my sink and tipped it in the sink at a pouring angle. Coffee was dripping out. I then realized that the bubble noise I had heard was air leaking and it wasn't keeping a seal. What is my honest opinion of this product? I would have said 8.5 because the price. The company is probably making a killer profit. Now, I would give it a 2, maybe. Between the price and now my issues it rates love. You would think as much as one pays there would be a long lifespan. I would not recommend this coffee carafe. If you do get it I really hope you get your money's worth.

I own two of the alfa Thermal carafes. Both have problems.My first carafe is about 2 years old. It still keeps the beverage very hot for hours, so that's a plus, however, it makes quite loud and unpleasant sounds as the hot air is trying to escape through the closure on top. The sounds are so gnarly, that I can not keep the carafe in the bedroom without my husband waking up from them. Twisting the closure shut very, very tightly reduces the sounds somewhat, but then the easy-pour-mechanism does not work.My 2nd carafe is only a few weeks old and started leaking today from the bottom. I am contacting alfi, hopefully they will issue a refund.

It just doesn't keep the coffee hot long enough. This is the second one of this exact brand and model that I've purchased. I loved the first one. This one arrived with a pretty big blemish in the finish, but whatever, I just want it to keep the coffee hot all morning like the last one did. It does okay for a few hours and then fades pretty fast. Maybe I just got a lemon, or maybe my last one wasn't as great as I'm remembering. I do like the size of this guy, it holds a full pot of coffee.
