Alfi Hotello Vacuum Insulated Thermos Carafe for Hot and Cold Beverages, 1.5 L, Stainless Steel

This is not glass inside so it has limited heat-retaining properties. As the name implies, I think its a product to put coffee or tea on a table in hotels and restaurants. It keeps the liquid hot probably about as long as a breakfast or lunch. So don't be confused by the name. It is made quite well but is not what Alfi is known for -- glass enclosed carafes like the "Juwel" that keep your coffee hot for over 12 hours and somehow makes it taste better. They don't sell them much in the states or on Amazon. Mine went back to Amazon within 12 hours.

Haven’t used it yet so not sure how good of a job it does but we paid a premium for the made in Germany product vs. a $27 made in China copy. This arrived and clearly is not made Germany.

Incredible ability to keep coffee hot. Others have commented about a missing gasket. It doesn't come with one because it's not necessary. So popular in our house that it wanders off!! We may buy another one!

It came without a seal or gasket. So, there is no seal to help retain the temperature wit in the thermos. Very disapoining because I see a previous buyer had the same experience. How is it to ship it complete?

It came without a seal. In the discriptuin it says “made in Germany” but the actual pot says “made in China. I am not happy with it.
