Meet up mornings near Fort and Cook. Firm price Excellent condition, the carafe is glass lined, very clean, no stains or damage, quality made to last! It holds 2 measuring cups / 1/2 litre. Twist the lid 1/2 turn to pour the liquid out without removing the lid. The Japanese make quality items and this is a top manufacturer of kitchen items. As is typical of their products, it does not drip! I did a heat retention test and put boiling water (200F) in it and 4 hours later it was 178F. 10 hrs later it was 160F According to the web “the preferred drinking temperature of coffee is specified in the literature as 120-140”. So even after 10 hours it was still higher than recommended drinking temperature. Stays hot longer than you need it to likely! Cold liquids would stay colder for a much longer period.
